The Colonel and I didn't get to go to Speedweek this year, much to our disappointment, I followed avidly on the site and got word of various mishaps and haps via the old Fartbook thing but really, you had to be there.......Congratulations to all who had a successful week but most importantly commiserations to our friends Bob and Jonny who stared it in the face and happily are still with us to tell the tale.
There has been huge progress on everything except the Spirit of Sunshine at the landspeed lab, possum park and Idiot Wonderland, a wall is gone from the kitchen, paint has been applied in all sorts of places and there has been no small amount of rearrangement. This progress will soon move to the shed and workspace outback which will no-doubt thaw the maw that is the lack of progress on the car. Me and Grumm have talked about what we're going to do, so that is at least a start. My mortgage has just gone up which will eat into the , er, racing budget but as we see it there may not be a huge amount to spend......
Now, on the subject of Chinese restaurants there was a manufacturer of what we call dim-sims who was also allegedly involved in one of Australia's biggest heists, the "Melbourne Bookie Robbery" where a group raided the Melbourne Bookmaker's club during the Spring Carnival and netted millions of dollars most of which was "yet to be counted", it has never been solved.....He was eventually shot in a bungled robbery at Melbourne Airport by the Police Special Op Group, it was also alleged that several missing people found their way into some of his deep fried treats.......
