    Well, the Zed w.end was great, and thanx to all those who turned up for the bbq's and cruises and photoshoots.

    A big thank you to Lee (ljb85tt) and his family for holding the function at his place, really appreciate it :biggrin:

    The w.end was off to a great start with Marklar and Scrubber arriving fri a'noon, after refuelling we then headed to the bottle shop to stock up for the party at Lee's place til early hours of the morning.

    No time for much sleep in, up early and got ready for the BBQ lunch.
    Showed everyone the trophies that will be awarded out.
    All headed back into town to meet at the Carwash after lunch, 10 of us in total, then all proceeded to Mt. Stuart for the first photoshoot by a local photographer friend.

    We then stopped in at BP for refreshments as it was a hot day and then all cruised to Anderson Park for the 2nd photoshoot.
    We then checked out each others zeds, interiors, engine bays, sound tests....ready for the voting to take place.
    Voting took place, then 8 of us cruised thru town and then along the Strand for everyone to see us. :D Last stop at the Entertainment Centre for the nice breeze to cool off and chat.
    Someone had recalled hearing "oh look there's the sneeze machines" :confused: correct me if i'm wrong, but arent WRX's nicknamed that, not zeds?

    Couple of zedders headed off, and whoever was left drove off to pickup some more refreshments and meat for the bbq dinner back at Lee's.
    Lee's dog had us all cracked up after it was fed something sounded like it was snoring while still wide awake lol
    Chatted til late then deciding to head into town bout midnite til early hours of Sun morning lol

    We didnt get much sleep before the sun came up and few of us met up at the Bushland Beach Ocean Palms Resort for lunch and trophy presentation.

    Great BBQ lunch, prawns, fish, chips and salad on a plate for $19 :D :D YUM YUM
    Trophies were awarded to everyone after everyone finished eating.

    Trophies were:

    Unique Mod award ~ Alex (Stretch)

    Sound & Visual award ~ Paul (Zed-32)

    Voter's Choice award ~ Alex (Stretch)

    Extra certificate framed awards:

    Best Interior ~ Paul (Zed-32)

    Incentive award ~ Lee (ljb85tt)

    and best left last......

    Most Memorable Zedder award (should be Most Memorable Mascot lol)
    was given to Lee's dog Ksar for being the entertainment all w.end :biggrin:

    We then went for a cruise to Saunders Beach, and took some pics, took advantage of the nice breeze there. Some zedders left, so then we drove back into town so Jarrod (Marklar) could buy some speakers for his drive back to Mackay lol. Then said our goodbyes and wished them a safe trip home.

    Thank you to everyone who made this w.end a good function, and hope you all enjoyed it and will be letting you all know about prints from the photoshoot when I know more details. :)

    I will post up some of my own pics in next couple of days when I have time.

    P.S. = "Anyone got bread?" lmao

    Benny_C About as subtle as...

    Wish i was there!

    Sounds like a ball. the only thing better than a day full of Zeds is a weekend full of Zeds!

    Great to see it was a success.

  7. Marklar

    Marklar gruntled

    more piccies

    Thought I'd put up a few photos but first off I have to give a huge thanks to Shazza Zedder for all the effort she put in to organising the activities and trophies, it just wouldn't have been the event it was without you, and a big thanks to Lee and his parents for accommodating us for the weekend. It was a shame more people didn't come *shakes finger at Cairns people* :nono: , Lee's folks place could have easily hosted an event 10 times the size, but it was a great weekend regardless.

    I don't have any really good photos as I forgot my camera (have to forget something or it wouldn't be a proper road trip) and had to make do with my phone camera but anyway, here are the best of a bad lot.

    Nearly there and the weather turned a bit sour. Those clouds looked amazing wrapping over the top of the hills. They almost looked like snow covered peaks.

    It ended up pouring with rain for a while that night (just as Sharon went to unload her car LOL) and we got a great natural light show on the way out to Lee's but as you can see the weather was fantastic the next day.

    Our first stop on Mt Stuart, right next to the start line of the hill climb. I was a bit disappointed no one else wanted to go up any further so went for a little blast when we left and met up with the others at the servo down the bottom :zlove: :cool:

    The park we went to next was really beautiful and the shade was very welcome after being out in the sun in 35° heat on Mt Stuart

    That's about it for pictures from me; I'm really looking forward to seeing the professional shots. It was great to see everyone again and to meet a couple of new people. Hopefully you can all make it down to Mackay in a couple of months time.
