I just wanted to thank everyone who came yesterday and made the Run the success it was. The roads were great, the weather fantastic, the traffic very light and the lunch stop was excellent. Storm Warden coming in his gangsta machine helped protect us as we voyaged south on the mountain back roads, passing very strange looking tobacco growing and lots of people in little villages who had an odd family resemblance.
I still can't understand why all the road signs kept pointing to Nimbin and saying "locally grown".
Also excellent at the end of the Run was meeting Dubtoille's parents at their new 60 acre property near Tumbulgum in NSW. Tumbulgum is pronounced 'Tum-bowl-gmmm' , not 'Tumblegum' as we northerners have been saying it, so thanks Natalia
for this as it helped us to fit in with the locals
. Not that the Queensland numberplates made us look any different at all.
Dubtoille's car is now running well and certainly has some go with the after-burner fitted, but that Storm Wardne gangsta machine, what can we say!! Its just amazing what a 6.8ltr V8 hemi MR2 can do.
When we started the new yearly run calendar in January we said that we would experiment with alternative days for Runs, e.g. Saturday and Sunday, but like all good experiments it has helped us reach a conclusion about what day to hold the Runs on in future. So, in a few days time check out the revised Run Calendar and see what we have come up with!!
Again, a great day, a lot of fun, and to all those who couldn't make it you missed a top Run.
