    What a blast! A HUGE thanks to Karl and Jo for having us stay over and for putting on a beaut bbq.

    Pictures will go someway to showing the planned fun and games... e.g. the Qld OscarZ :D:D:D ... unfortunately there are NO pictures of the unplanned events :(:(

    Someone will correct me if wrong but we had a total of 18 Zeds come from Gold Coast, Brisbane and the Sunshine coast.

    I'll let others tell their stories but re the unplanned events, one involved a certain Member taking evasive action to avoid a head-on collision at 100k's and this saw him going off-road for some 100m before rejoining the tarmac amidst a cloud of dust and debris... could have been a very nasty accident!
    Magic Mike's Zed suffered a major oil loss today, as we approached Toowoomba, and had to be towed.

    90TTZ Back From The Dead

    That was the best tech day ever! Why you ask, because I never worked on one Z this time except for Fates battery clamps:D

    Always good to meet some new faces like Archon and Adam form Toowoomba, even had a visit form the local Dalby rep.

    Still feeling quite seedy after the 3:00am sign off this morning. black baz thanks again for your MC provision, entertaining as usual. Sticky you left your cap here. Little Turtle's crawly keeper is keeping my kids entertained, will return it at Warwick Nationals.

    Pictures that follow will surely give a depth of the fun had by all. Will have to make this an annual event :)

    Archon Power Overwhelming

    Well, what a weekend.. I think everyone is a little red around the edges too..

    The trip out there was pretty good.. 18 zeds all in a row.. we even got to put Karl's Z to the test.. did a massive 15-zed-in-a-row overtake :p

    We had a good drive up the bunya mountain range where Karl and passenger Benny_C and rob and Stickman and myself had a good trip back down.. god they can put the hammer down, How fast was that in 4th gear again Sticky???

    Karl cooked up a storm while fate was up to his firebug self again.. have some good piccies of that..

    Thismorning was woken up rather early by the bastard sun.. :( but once we had all risen from the dead we heading into maccas for a nice feed and then headed back to uncle Karls to pack up and head home.

    Home again Home again, crusing along stuck with lots of trafic.. Mikey pulls out to overtake a slowpoke and WOOSHKA!!! a big splurt of oil all over the road followed by a plumme of smoke... Trev nearly caught a face full..
    Trev, Benny_C and Myself pulled up to help mikey.

    Once we figured out about the oil leak we got some fresh oil fresh oil in and found out about the major leak.

    Mikey will have to share more details once he knows exactically what it is but at this stage it looks to be a turbo line and meybe even a turbo :( his poor engine was bone dry once he pulled it up..

    Afterward myself Trev and K-Zed who had turned around to bring some oil back headed off once agian to meet everyone else in towoomba leaving Benny_C with mikey while he organised the tow. Meet the usual traffic annoyances along the way, myself and Trev almost got ran over, same with Red_Turttle_Z and Sticky.

    Once again a HUGE thankyou to Karl and Jo for letting us come out housewarm them with a little bit of tech day :p..

    We are all looking forward to the next one!!

    Great Big Thankyou to Karl and Jo for a wonderful weekend.
    No one was brave enough to camp on the good lawn, and all the better being up the back so you guys didnt get woken by all the snorers LOL :p
    Lil Turt had a great time playing with the girls and looks forward to catching up again at easter. The Crawly Keeper wasnt mentioned until we walked thru the door at home.
    :rolleyes:
    Turtle fingers are crossed hoping that mike's zed will recover, those handhelds sure are handy....

    Quick update on MM zed. He was having it towed to benny's place for a few days until it's return to Brisvages & top marks to you Ben for taking Mikey & Clara home, that's true Zeding spirit.

    Where to begin, well the only teching that got done was my big rotor transplant, big thanks to Trev for those and also thanks to him and ETAF for their help and getting it done in 45mins! :D

    Fate seems to have taken on a few roles this weekend beginning with "The Grass Master" RYUUUUUUUUUUU! Then the usual fire bug, a fire dancer and finally, a fire walker. Great entertainment, thanks Fate! :thumbup:

    Then there's the norm of Benny, bum over boob, mangled with chairs. :rolleyes:

    Benny_C About as subtle as...

    Fantastic weekend guys!

    Big thanks to Karl, Jo and the kids for putting up with us for the weekend. Probably best one yet, i think they just keep getting better every time. :)

    Unfortunately it ended with Magicmike dumping his oil and possibly have done some damage to his bottom end.
    We stuck around for a few hours till we got a tow sorted out then had it brought to my place in Greenmount where it will stay for a few days till it gets arranged to be taken back to Mikey's place in Brisbane.
    Then we got some fluids in ourselves and i gave Mike and Cara a ride in the blue beast to get them back home in Brissie.
    Cara has offered to cook me dinner tonight which is great, then i'll make the trip back home again afterwards.

    During the week i'll jack Mikes car up and have a thorough look over it to try to find out better what happened and the extent of the damage for him while it's in my back yard.

    Apart from that it was a great weekend, great to meet some new faces and as usual was even better to catch up with some old favourites again too.
    Best thing is, Warwick is only 6 weeks away so we get to do it all over again then!

    Cheers,
    Benny. :zlove:

    No more pics from me, though I do believe Ains has some good video footage and there was someone else taking photos. The 2nd and 3rd pics posted went up arse about for some reason :confused: when they should be towards the bottom. So other than those, the rest are in order of events.
    Does anyone have pics of Trev, Sean and I fitting my big rotors? :D

    It was a stroke of fate seeing you all at the servo on top of Toowoomba Range . Looks like you were all a bit pre-occupied with a car problem .

    Hope you guys had a blast , was good to see heaps of Zeds again .

    Cheers

    Adz_79 I do it in a Zed

    Thanks for the great weekend guys. Especially to Karl and Jo. I left in the early hours of the morning to keep the zed cool. After the 108 degree temp on the way there. Unfortunately, even tho the zed stayed cool at 84 on the highway, as soon as I hit town, hitting 100 again. As I pulled into my driveway, I heard a hissing from the passenger side. After a look around, I could see water spraying out somewhere near the turbo. Looks like another line has busted. My zed is off the road and looks like I need to do another plenum pull to get to the hose. At least I made it home. Unlucky Mike, you definately earned the OscarZ award "Hard Luck Award". Maybe it;s my turn next time? lol
