Gawd!, so Tomcat, you are one of those responsible for ruining the fond memories of the place where I grew up.

The place I caught fresh water cray in the creek.
The place I enjoyed my first cigarette.
The place I'd hang out when wagging school.
The place I took my very first girlfriend.
The place I lost my virginity even ...... hope you are ashamed of yaself

Mid 70's I was in Townsville while you lot were raping my old stamping grounds.

Actually Tomcat, I was delighted to get away from the place .... too sorta southside for me.

Apologies Roger - slight diversion on said topic.

Mr Les.................

Avoided any involvement on the 3rd or is that the 4th bridge Redcliffe is getting - I'm sure they'll get it right in the end.

Currently building toll gantries on the Gateway & Logan Motorways designed to catch all that pass under!

Small tip - the cameras are designed up to 180 km/h - read into that what you will

Been a while on here - hey if you passing your old haunt (Pre-Westfield Carindale) call in for a chat. It must be 3 or 4 years since you graced our presence

Thanks for the heads up re the cameras. good to know.

Pete, I'd enjoy a stopover at your place if only I could get some time. Send me a phone number by PM in case I am in the vicinity and about to "drop in"

Cheers.

I reckon Warwick should give you a special "100" plaque for your car!

well Merv I have already suggested that one to Warwick, so I guess we'll see!
I happen to have a nice piece of brass plate that would be suitable too !

I was thinking that but would never say it!

I am #80 but the number 8 is considered "lucky"

The eighth day was new after God rested.
There are 7 days in a week and the 8th day is a new beginning.
Christ rose on the 8th day which was a new beginning for the world
and circumcision was always done on the 8th day. Perhaps not so lucky ...

Roger,

congratulations on ordering a great kit. I seem to recall Warwick was going to try and have a celebratory BBQ for the first 100 kits he built...with all 100 owners.

regards

Mick

Yeah, my memory was pretty clear on that too! Involved drinks, BBQ and free memorabilia as I recall.

Because I know that Warwick rarely gets a chance to look at this forum, and that I'm always having to pass on any good forum info/comments to him as I drink his "Free" coffee nearly every day....I'll make sure he knows about the groundswell regarding the upcoming 100th.celebrations / b.b.q / pi$$ up !!

Cheers,

Warren,

I'll be there, just a little airfare for me warwick can put the bill on Warrens car I am sure Warren will not notice. My car is 73 so following Mervs logic I am number 1 therefore I really should be there
Did he count the FF5 cobras and Daytonas as part of his numbering system. If so then is 100 really number 100? Could be dodgey
