Texi, It's A Wrap!

[Pezhead]

Wrap up thread for texi. Post all your photos and stories here.

Thanks to all the helpers that ran the day. And thanks to the few entrants that stayed around to pick up the tyre shreds.

[GoldZilla]

Yep, those who were there yesterday would know that it's just as much fun to skid and slide in the rain!

If you weren't there yesterday, why not??? It's an awesome day, so make sure you get yourself down to our next ones when they are announced.

I've decided that next time I get to do timing, it's only fair that all FWD cars get an Instant Wrong Direction penalty.


Your power goes the wrong end of the car. Obvious penalty if obvious.

2nd'd with the clean up, it got smashed, heaps of hands make light work

photos will be inc soon

[levinboy]

He's like a Paddo Bear appearing in different cars - lol

Poor ol' Mazda MX5 got 4 seconds worth I'm afraid

Great day, huge thanks to everyone who assisted, and everyone who entered.

Thanks also to everyone who helped pack up the trailer & help me get hitched up.

Great to meet you all, see you next time!

Any feedback from CAFE2U?

Do we ask the question on their FB page?

https://www.facebook.com/Cafe2UAustralia?fref=ts

[GTR-N1]

I called up Yesterday 8.30 am and Margaret a spokesperson was asked a leading question as to whether CAFE2U had a policy about what happens if their primary van operator is sick, that a backup operator takes his/her place? She said, "Most definitely."

I said, "Well the system broke down yesterday (Sunday)!!!"

I added, "Not only did he not turn up, he also never call for backup, he also had the temerity to suggest we were only worth 1 hour's work and he was thinking of serving us whilst on cold n flu tablets. I'm a pharmacist and you never ever serve food n drink whilst flu is still virulent! "

After 9am the manager Karen called me and stated beyond her profuse apology that this will never happen again under her watch.

We'll see next month. At least the lady operator has already called up to confirm. I did issue a warning to Karen that a Plan B must always be in place.

Was really looking forward to that coffee too

[RANDY]

MMmmm.. I didn't actually know there would be coffee, so I brought my usual Thermos of black gold =-D

Cafe2U is a franchise, so there is no benefit to the sick guy to make any effort to cover his rounds... he probably can't even get in trouble!

I suggest we try and replace Cafe2U with Harry's Cafe de Wheels... so I can get a fancy hotdog. ;o)

[GTR-N1]

Might get both and add the stoush to the vid

[Mikha1]

Hmm i might be responsible for most of the rubber left on the strip (R34 4dr), as i remember some of the guys telling me i had flicked rubber everywhere, coupled with some incriminating photos of my shredded tyres =/

Thanks to the organisers and those who stayed to clean up.

Overall, it was a great day. I'm looking forward to seeing the video.

Great photos as well.
