yeah well i spoke to 3 mechs today and the local TMU and the mechs have called BS because of no paperwork and no sticker, and the tmu are usless quote "we only hand them out we dont take them away" so ill have to wait for the paperwork and if it says brakes then im going to have a nice chit chat to the local VR and see if i can have it removed, but the local TMU said because i dont have the sticker, officially i dont have a canary, yet.

no paperwork at all is pretty dodgy, hopefully nothing comes of it and he was just full of **** trying to put fear into you.

Thanks for all the praise, i was happy with how the day went.
plenty of food drinks, no major catastrophies.. plenty of people and fantastic weather.
i'm sorry if i didnt get a chance to talk to everyone, very flat out with the lunch.

Good to see heaps of pics already up

Anyway, here are my secret spy shots of John + Josh, and the copper that got Josh...





Im still uploading all the rest... i'll get the good ones up a little later on

Me and the missus left Apollo Bay early, and we stopped of at all the little places on the left hand side of the GOR to take some pics of the veiw... Those pics were from about 300m away, and I was in thick bush on a tiny walking track.

If the rest of the pack had been going slower, I would have got pics of them, but they disappered before I could get to a clearing to take some pics. Just by coincedence managed to get John and Josh

I'll have a few more pics in a second...

And now I'll look thru the rest of this thread so I can actually view the pics (pics don't load at work, grrr!)

Great photos everyone. LOL at a few of Dave's photos. When Pat had his car jacked up, for once I didn't have the highest car there! The Pat / Dave humpfest photo is great, and congrats on the 350,000!

Don't stress Krys, the others had good focus, but due to the lack of slope in the road only Braden's XR6 could be seen (with everyone else hidden behind him).

Dezza, I think that pic of me and Pat will come to haunt me in the future, but meh

What the hell... i'll post up a few non-eseries pics from GOR... I drove through the GOR focusing on staying between the lines, so I made a point to take it easy on the way back and take in the veiw...

Can anyone tell photography is a pet hobby of mine? :P







It was a long walk to get to this one... but worth it



I need a better camera..... :P
