Thinking about a BBQ meet for people in BRISBANE QLD

[Bimmerman]

Paul, when do you want to do your car? Sooner rather than later? Have you got the parts yet? I don't know where Kristian is hiding but u can see he's online... Nick

Parts had not arrived by 3, will have to swap the bits out at work next week.
Thanks a bunch for offering your time and tools to help though.

Just loaded up the fridge with a bunch of coldies, friday arvo and all that, would love to stay and chat but they are calling to me...
Have a top weekend guys,

7 DAYS TO GO!!!

A long story but wingboy is out The words Whittley and wife are involved. You guys have a great time and fly the NSW flag high.

Keith, Myles and old Bob we'll meet at my house perhaps about midday go for a drive and then have a bbq (or the other way around whichever is better) I will send you guys my address.
Are there any other people apart from the NSW peoples coming?
I will meet the New south welshmen on friday night.

PS What the hell should i buy to eat. I have no ideas

Well I do believe the party is getting organised. I've not heard from Mattyb or Tony, but Paul and I are getting very organised. This morning he came by and we finished off his very smart Prevenetative Maintenance on the Nazi Princess' cooling system: All new pipes, coolant and radiator so she'll get us to and fro with nary a whisper.

Greg? Phil? John? Is no-one else going to join us? Paul and I are going to abduct Kristian unless Mattyb beats us to it. Imagine a dark bimmer pulling up beside you with its boot popped and a menacing, balaclavad Mattyb emerging to bundle you efficiently in. Poor Kristian!

But I don't know what's worse, a 12 hour trip in the boot of Matty's 540 or putting up with Paul and I all the way up there...

Rob; apart from the beer that you can manage with no problem, get some blade steaks, thin sausages, roma tomatoes and lettuce. A few french sticks, real butter and garlic. Some sliced multigrain bread, fresh basil, corriander, zuchini and 1kg of cheddar, Milk, tea and coffee.

You probably have half of it. We will be there quite late by the looks of things, getting away early enough may not be that easy... Nick

gotta go to sydney (hell) cant get out of it, not happy but hope you guys have a gr8 day ....

p.s. wingman i had a whittley cruisemaster, awesome boats, caravan on water, aussie icon i think, but unfortunately doesnt suit where i live now due to a heavy duty sandbar and low bridge.... e34's and whittleys, it doesnt get much better....

Yeah i realised there are a few things around the house already :-) anyway I'll goto the shops on saturday morning to pick up some more so its fresh.

I will be at the gf's place at west end tonight, was thinking you guys could ring me when you're approaching logan and meet me in west end. the riverside expressway northbound is not open this weekend due to road works so you will be taking a detour through south brisbane anyway. From there i can take you to my place and you don't need to stress over finding it.

PS if one of the brisbane boys can bring some salad it'd be good, I am useless at making salads.

Unfortunately due to things getting in the way for alot of people coming from NSW and QLD. And after discussions with nick we think in the interests of including everyone it would be better to postpone the meet.

However I think it is best if we do organise a smaller meet and greet just for the people from SE Queensland so people can put faces to names etc. which we will organise in the next few weeks whether it be just meeting up for coffee or at a pub.

I apologise for the late notice, and hope it hasn't inconvenienced anyone

Hey people,

I'm posting as it's really getting late.

Have just spoken to Rob, Matty, Kristian and Paul. Rob said he'd post the news too.

Given the fact that so many people that wanted to come couldn't this weekend and the sad fact that today two more have had to pull out, it's pretty much left Paul and I as to be the last of the NSW contingent. There are a few from Queensland coming, and Rob is going to contact them to discuss the options for the weekend. However, a raincheck is what I suggested to Rob. However this depends on when Rob can make his parents' facilities 'available' again.

Matty suggested (he was unable to make due to the 3 days needed) that we at least head to his place however, grab some beers and go fishing (or something). This way we could still get together, have a few beers and perhaps get online and teleconference with the Queenslanders.

Whilst we are greatly disappointed that things are looking this way, this might be the only possible option, and I would like to take this opportunity to thank Matty for the offer. So for now, Paul and I are headed to Mattys tomorrow and we keenly await Rob's suggestion on when/how we can make the next Brisbane meet.

I'm hoping that a postponement will make it easier for others to attend. Please pipe up and let us know if this means you.

But for now, if anyone wants to come to Mattybs tomorrow, just get yourselves organised and let Matty know. We're headed up first thing, Paul is dropping by my place here so we're hitting the freeway at Hornsby at 10am. We're expecting to be up there for the day and will staythe night perhaps- depending on Matty's questionable hospitality that is!

Again, my apologies to Rob and the whole Queensland crew, I ahve to say it was real close but a cloud of bad luck just blew in on everyone this time. Let's see if we can get it together
again though and make something of the enormous effort Rob has gone to. Just think, he'll still have beers in the fridge!

The longer we leave it, the less there will be on hand when we do get together! Nick

[mattyb]

wow! now i dont feel like such a karnt. my apoligies guys. i had an urgent job hit my desk this morning, near death work cover, which i was obligated to take and has to be interim reported on monday. but seems to have worked out well. Thanks rob for getting everything together and hopefully we can all get together soon enough up in sunny bris.

Just to let u guys know as for my questionable hospitality i have just run out and stocked up on home brand fish fingers, black and gold 2 minute noodles and theres half a dead possum out the front, i reckon we can make a fkn pizza outa that. did anyone think to contact FUKEM 5s personal assistant. I think he was flying in from chechnyia tonight after test driving the new lada 7 wheel hybrid SUV. apparently it runs on the fermented remains of the local mafia from Naru and various concoctions of captured terrorist spunk! who beleive it eh!
