You are correct. Just got off the plane. Cattle class. Dang Rastas in front of me reclined their seats. Now home to check out the Dicktail.

Does that Freudian slip reveal that it's more of a limb extension than an aerodynamic part?

That will teach me to text without glasses on. The spellchecker sucks. I typed in veuve at the airport and got 'Bruce'. In another text I got 'goat sucker'. Yes, I googled, it's a bird.

Reminds me of a shopping expedition in Cairns to buy lights for the deck I was building. I got my wife to ring ahead. The smart **** asked her three times to repeat herself until she clicked that 'deck lights' sound like dick lights to an Aussie.

Try selling a luxury home to an Aussie and telling them all about the "big deck"! They cant keep a straight face.

Yep - realised that but nothing like a bit of diversion... Just got in so will give the Hilton a bell in the morning.

Hey guys.

Whats the minimum requirement for a race suit for the Trackdays we are organizing? I sold my triple layer a couple of years ago as the older I got the more it shrunk in size??

I saw someone in a one use painting overall last time. Some of us wear cotton work overalls. I'm getting a two layer suit.

Hi,
Been in touch with my Hilton man, he can do 4 x 3 bedroom apartments for $495 a night. He said it works better if he does the booking for us to get that rate. Where are you guys at with the first apartment, and is 495 a decent saving to make it worthwhile? I guess we need to get on with how many beds we need, he said the apartments go quickly on the weekends. Looking for numbers I guess so we can start locking it down. Who's in and Peter did you lock in an apartment today?

Thanks John. I see things haven't changed much then. So I'll be sweet in my prison jump suit then?

Just as fashionable as I was in old overalls that barely covered my shins

Dave - that's great. I didn't lock it in as the girl I spoke to didn't know about it. But looks like that is a good thing.

I think Macca/John and I were good for one and Paul/ChrisB were looking for AN Other to make up a room and Doug just volunteered for that over on the Europacific site. Not sure about Matt's plans? MichaelD is coming down On Fri morning I think so would only be 1 night. PeteM and his partner have booked direct. So just leaves Dave, Matt, Neil, SteveR and Jamie by my calcs plus MichaelR if he's coming as well and any other of Steve's guys.

So looks like:

Macca/John/PeteH - 1 x 3 bed, 2 nights
Chris/Paul/Doug - 1 x 3 bed, 2 nights
PeteM - booked
Dave, Matt, Neil, Steve + team, Jamie, MichaelD - still to sort.

All have e-mails accessible through the Europacific memberlist if we want to chase them down quickly for those that aren't on Rennlist
