To celebrate the Queensland Firebirds winning the netball grand final in such a spectacular fashion, a ticker tape parade was arranged in the CBD. Thanks to Warren for organising for the Qld Cobra Club to be involved.
What a great event! To add to my concerns that my car would either not start, or would overheat, I was then told that I'd be carrying the captain Laura Geitz.
Everything seemed to go well. All cars made it, the crowd and players had a good time and it was a good celebration for a champion team.
Special thanks to my security guy and some police officers who kept pulling melting streamers from my hot side pipes and reassuring Laura that the car wasn't on fire. Top job fellas!
I know there have been lots more photos taken of the event, which I look forward to seeing. Here are some that I took or have been sent.

The aftermath...
(The sound is from those plastic clapping hands from the cheer squad, not from an exhaust leak on the Cobra!)
