November - time to plan our next shindig.... - Page 7

hahaa dont worry pools are always better in the rain

Osprey06 · 20-12-2007, 06:43 PM

Hey all,

Not sure what the schedule is, or if anyone is actually penciled in to stay at mine but, if so, you'd be advised to bring sleeping bags & pillows.

I'll be out of town on Sunday the 24th and at a wedding on NYE (don't ask!), other than that don't think anything will conflict.

Don't have a pool, but do have quite the forrest after all this rain and not having had time to mow the lawn for 5 weekends straight

Fanks James

We have a pool - now, but earlier......

Thinking to just set it up and let the rain fill it up the way it's going.....

Bourbon & Chicaboo arrive here tomorrow evening, likely tired & hungry so it will be straight into rest & relax mode for both of them however, Saturday has not been planned yet.

In fact, my planning is a bit vague, but there is mention of a boys night out on the town - looking a bit like boxing day starting with the Alien V's Predator movie and taking it from there.

Us girls will shop of course

Can't wait, I'm so excited/happy/bouncing
wooooooohoooooooooooooooo

KittyKatSmack · 22-12-2007, 05:20 AM

They're here
They're here

Chicaboo & bourbon are here

*does the happy dance*

bourbon · 23-12-2007, 01:31 AM

me and chicca are here...after a 23hr drive from brisbane :@ haha startin at 4:30am and finishin at 3:30am... we were makin good time on the trip...all was goin well...unit nabiac...just at the turn off car started to get a bit slower

thought it wasnt good so chucked on the clutch to go into nuteral and pull over before anythin serious happened...just as was takin the clutch out...wheels locked up and did a skid for about 5meters...so we pulled over...tried to start it but engine rocked heaps...more than should of...and then we had the delima of wtf are we goin to do...its 1:30pm on the friday that every work shop closes down... call up nrma and get it towed to the nearest workshop which was in forster (nicest lookin place on the coast of nsw)...they have a quick look at the car and it starts fine, go to select gears...put it in first and its ok...second gear uhhh ohhh... second gear selected PLUS first gear :@ third gear was the same, third gear and first gear selected...and so on with fourth and fith...also cause it was almost knock off time for all the workshops around....nothin can be done till thursday :@ :@ :@ gearbox is comin out then and getting diagnosed...theyll let me know...im in canberra so car is about 500km away...hopefully will be back up and running by the 31st and not tooo much $$$...

just want to thank everyone for their help so far, dean (DB****) kitty and aaron and of course chicaboo

if it wasnt for him id still probably be stuck on the side of the highway...

chicaboo · 23-12-2007, 02:07 AM

Hey, atleast I didn't have to push the car all the way to Canberra!

Seriously though, it was a pretty stressful afternoon, and having someone around made it easier for the both of us. We were even able to make the time stuck in Forster's industrial estate interesting by betting on a cardboard box being blown around by the wind.

You can't go very far with all your luggage stuck on the footpath with you for 6 hours either...

Super thanks to Dean for rescueing us from Forster, and loaning us 'Trent' (red KH) to drive around in too.
I'm glad to say the drive was really safe too, with no holdups or close-calls or anything, it was a really pleasent drive apart from the sun burn.

I can't wait to catch up with the rest of the crew heading up here in a few days.
Gav.

I think a run into Fyshwick one evening would be a great idea. It seems we go there whenever we all get together in Canberra, and one of the "adult" store's has a lounge and coffee machine LOL!
It's pretty funny.

Really?!?!? Next time we're down, you'll have to point us in the right direction. Fancy that, caffeine and porn in the same shop! Sounds like my kinda place!

I've managed to wrangle NYE off, however Carine is working all through the Christmas/NYE holidays. I'll have to confirm which days she has off but we may pop down for a night.

Ciao

PS Merry Christmas!!

KittyKatSmack · 24-12-2007, 02:41 AM

Everyone is welcome Shads, you know that.

Big thanks go out to Dean for driving from Newcastle to Forster to collect the guys sitting on the side of the road, and for the loan of Trent Mark II.
It's a shame they had to sit for so long and wait but what can you do.
Trent is safely tucked in here and will be well cared for until thrier return journey home.
After the pressure I put on you to get the fella's a car, I know you understand that I would do the same for you and for any AGT family member in a rough spot.

Thanks again to Dean and his Dad for the help & the trust that we'd look after Trent II.

Cherry Mishmas everyone
Kitty

DavoAust · 24-12-2007, 02:42 AM

good to hear you too got down there safe. hope the bg is back up and running soon, i know the christmas breakdown feeling

its really sucking big time.

have a good chrissy

MrShadow · 24-12-2007, 09:43 AM

Hey there, looks like the weekend of the 5-6th will be when we can get down. Will there still be anybody else there? We're still not 100% sure if we're going or not. We might even come down (really) late on the 4th after Carine finishes work. We'll let you guys know.

Ciao

KittyKatSmack · 24-12-2007, 09:56 AM

That weekend will only really have us here, and will be smack bang in the middle of summernats so you might want to take that into account when planning ideas.

The best day to come down and catchup with everyone is the 28th December.

^..^

Osprey06 · 24-12-2007, 09:51 PM

What's cookin' for xmas day and post xmas? I'll have family stuff up until xmas lunch, then should be home free.

On a different note, I've done a lot of cleaning around my new place and the twins are finally 'home'.

Before
After
...ready for the motor to come out of lefty and make it's way into righty.

Yeah, thank Adam (that was his name, right??) again for me when you see him next. Hopefully it won't be so 'Familia' before long. The plan is to keep righty going for as long as it takes to strip leftie back and paint 'im Mazda Copper Red + fit the lsd + general 'do-up'. Will be interesting to see if it actually happens...

Rupewrecht · 25-12-2007, 05:53 PM

Yah, Adam. I'll let him know!

KittyKatSmack · 26-12-2007, 12:52 PM

Adam will be here so you will be able to talk to him yourself
