Our Office is sponsoring a car its the Ja-make-car

Anyhow the driver Heath, said "....it goes bloody fast....", I quizzed further to his mate who said "....it does it goes bloody fast...I would'nt drive but Heath is daft enough to do it"

We had a great time!

Ali took Video clips with the digicam and his workpals team was on the news this evening.

Saw it on the news... looked like GREAT fun!! :laugh

... and kinda dangerous - or was the speed they looked like they were going deceiving??!

[funkstar deluxe]

Actually, we were there!

Didnt stay long cos we'd really turned up to visit the museum and see a photography exhibition also in there. But we hung around for a bit and watched the video screen.

Had done the Kumeu wine festival and the Mission bay blues and jazz street fest the day before so wasnt really in the party mood.

It was on the news? our tv hasnt arrived yet!

[Terry&Sophie]

We were there too! :nice1 Finally getting through all of the sorting out that had to be done since we arrived and we're starting to enjoy all that Auckland has to offer!

It was a good laugh, didn't get there until 1.30ish but stayed until the end and saw the cool runnings team... wasn't that one of the ones that had to be dragged over the line? :laugh

I think we'll be looking for a house with a large garage/workshop now so we can start working on a trolley for next year... anyone want to join us...?

Terry & Sophie
We keep missing each other don't we eh!! Ali and I stayed most of the day til about 4 ish. The cool runnings team spectacularly crashed - big time carnage!
If we'd have known we'd have saved you a speck - next time eh!
Love Linda xx

[Terry&Sophie]
