OK, a quick composite reply

1. Kalli, of course you are 'the special 1' and we want you to continue to be special by finding some more (not many) who are almost as special 'cos we know we'll never find anyone better

2. A biennial event....the 'rules'....pay Timbo to organise these things...all sounds fantastic to me ... April could be good!

3. xxup...July-August at Wakefield....just think about that for a moment....still think it's a good time

Yes, I am looking at possible dates with Wakefield and will probably report back soon

Well I guess thoughts of "Team Hymee" gives me some happiness to pull me out of PND and into LFTTNN (Looking Forward To The Next Nats).

Now if I only put "Performance Design Australia" decals on all the cars that were Hymee Enhanced !!!

And another idea would have been to get a racing driver / experienced Wakefield jock to put in a hot lap or two in one of the twin-screw cars

Cheers,
Hymee.

Oh yeah - nice and cold - air is more dense and the cars will perform better..

There is the flu season...

Those huts are not the warmest -

Okay - October, but we were REALLY lucky with the weather....

That's is what is known as a freudian slip - Timbo has been through much pain..

Well...in my defence ....I simply say that it already seems like a year since the last one...and the pain feels nothing relative to the gain

I got home late Saturday, after taking, in the words of Supertramp, The Long Way Home. Visited some family on the way back for a few days. Had a most enjoyable drive with the Melbourne crew from Goulburn to just beyond Gundagai. Thanks again to xatnep for the batteries when my rechargables went flat early into the trip (my spares were loaned to Wildcard for the trip down from Brisbane when his ran flat).

Feeling a bit flat at the moment... but maybe that was the 11 hour straight trip from Sydney to Brisbane on Saturday on my own. Driving's much more fun when surrounded by 8's and the silence is broken by the banter on the UHF.

Really looking forward to the next one wherever or whenever it is.

Should have given us a call - we left from Port Macquarie on Saturday... The only real stops were the Butterfly House and petrol....

You should have a good partner to share the driving with you...

April - well, okay, if we must.

Of course, I reckon I could wait till next October if we got along to a few $80/day events in the meantime.

Well PND has effected me a little bit , but only a little .

for the following reasons:

A) I still have not changed my tyres :
B) I removed my number "34" on the very next Saturday after the Nat's (6days after)
C) As soon as I saw the the official photo's it made me remember exactly what a great time was had by all.
D) I have driven over 1000's km since then and very challenging drives at that too

And all the above are reasons show exactly how I either battled it out, or extended the Nat's experience a little further
