Les,

A Desal Plant is $800 Mil plus whereas a Recycle Plant is only $150 Mil. Also Desal's are expensive to run.

Apologies for misdirecting this thread, but you got to keep the taxpayer happy.

Cheapest water option - A Dam, but reliant upon rain
Most expensive option - A Desal Plant - ask the Arab's.

Well bugga, there ya go.....ain't this place great.

I'm learning the cost of global warming to our water supply and Matt is learning he needs noise control for Scotty.

No wonder the EPA are stuffing around with our hobby.

Now, uncle Pete. I don't mind if you southsiders have to part with $800 mil to build a desal plant near a northside dam.

After all we (read Northsiders) do share OUR very precious water with you. If we didn't have to then we would have heaps.

You guys can fight over what little is left in the Leslie Harrison Dam.

Apologies for the highjack, but Uncle Pete started it.

Now Les - only facts should be reported on this Forum................

Leslie Harrison is approx 60% full and Stradbroke is 90%+.

Both dams serve the Redlands only and we can still wash our cars with a hose pipe every other day (not that a Cobra takes too much anyway).

I'm afraid we don't drink your water Les (don't want to have our brains puddled).

Like a little England - we are self sufficient - Shall we move onto Cricket???

Matt, back to the thread..............

That car of yours certainly looks as though its had some serious buffing - did Scotty do that for you??

Oi Uncle Pete, putting aside our debate regarding the Stradbroke and Leslie Harrison Lap pools I can reflect on your comments referring to Matt's beast.

I had the pleasure of seeing it in the flesh the last two breakfasts and I must say it looks an absolute treat. All shiny black/gold and a credit to Matt and Scotty.

It looks somewhat sinister and I described it to Matt as looking like a mafia getaway car.

Suits the gold coast region I guess

Default Bloody long way

Guys,
Arrived home earlier this afternoon.

We had a great time, a few days on the gold coast, good food, good company and some car racing. It was sad as we got closer to home and the phone began to ring, the holiday is over.

Craig thanks for minding baby for us, felt bad getting you back so late. Thanks for helping rewireing the trailer brakes, needed those on the way back.

Thankyou Queenslanders for letting us join in the fun, I like Willowbank and was blown away when Warren steps out of his car after a run with no shoes on, 100% Queenslander. Love it.

I took it easy at the drags didn't want to break anything, but still cooked the clutch

Yve and Chris, what a beautiful place you have. It was easy to see that you guys have a great time there, thanks for your hospitality.

Scott, I am suprised you are still alive
Thanks for taking the cobra for a spin, good advise.

Morgan Park, excellent track would love to get more laps sometime soon.

Matt, would you enter your trailer as "street class" or "show class"

Queenslanders thanks again for taking the time with us, we will be back.

Phil
