Funny thing about them theme parks. 3 of them are 10 min from my house and i have never been to them.
There is Seaworld about 45 min away that i used to get yearly passes because my daughter loved it. now she is over 1000 klm away i dont bother with it.

There is a theme park in Tassie called trolley world. You put 20c in the slot and you get a trolley and run around the car park.
Paddy normally does this with no pants on

Trolley World here is real popular with people from India .. go figure traveling all that way to like a budget attraction.

Well first thing is you need to understand Indian culture. When a Indian couple get married the male gets to scratch the red dot on the females forehead. If he is lucky he wins a cookie mart, 2nd prize is a taxi license, 3rd is a trip to Trolley world.

Just saw something really scary in the "Lets See What We Look Like" thread.....

You found Wally?
Lots of scary things on that thread, me included, but I am guessing you found Douggie

Same here in Tas. One asked me to find him a woman to marry so he could stay here in Aus. He said he would pay money to the woman. He was even prepared to marry a 78 year old woman that used to talk with me in the shopping mall. I told him to leave my girlfriends alone. Nice guy but cutting my grass was not an option

Douggie

Yup I know where he is from. Have read a few of his posts.
People from Qld are called banana benders Chuck. Most of them end every sentence with the word ah, as in "its a nice day ah". Ah is pronounced like the letter a.

"A" just like the canucks! There are some Genge's in Australia and quite a few in Canada that all originally came from the UK. I am friends with a Chuck Genge that lives in Newfoundland and a Charlie Genge from Ontario. But Paul could be my twin brother!

Here is a pic of a typical Tasmanian Ay.

And here is a edjamacated one that finished pre-school.
Actually he may be the prime minister of Tassie AY.

Nah
I reckon he'd be a shoe in for PM. Sure got that look of confidence, ay !

Well ladies after what seems like 2 months away from the water I finally got a boat out this morning. Temperature was 1 degree so my feet are frozen (yes I do get them wet). I took my little DF 29 clone out for some more testing. Ozzie had told me to cut some off the stinger as like all of my DF clones it was doing a lot of chine walking. This is only the third trip to the lake for this boat and the second time I have sliced a bit of the stinger. Ozzie your advise was right on the money. I hit 90 kph or 55.92 mph on 4s and a slight porpoise as it is traveling in a straight line. I think a slight change of angle on the strut and a little more of the stinger and it will be perfect.
Setup is... 1515 1Y, andym M645, 4s, Hydra 240 lv. The motor is one of the two that are coming your way ozzie. A 1515 0.5Y is what will end up in the hull as I am getting a buzz out of running small batteries to get good speed. Well girls I will bore you no further so on with the pictures...

Ozzie here is a shot of some of the cars at the race meeting I attended last weekend...



The local newspaper tracked me down and stuck a pic of me (extreme right) in the newspaper. All part of being poor and stupid I guess.

IMG_0255.jpgIMG_0258.jpgIMG_0253.jpgI believe the German stingers are swimming to Australia, the long way round.
I usually build before paint, so I dont have to patch marks later on.
However, Im bored...
Red outer, plans for gold/yellow insides, black window decals with white borders all over

Very nice Doc. A beautiful hull and the paint scheme is going to highlight the nice lines. Cant wait to see it on the water.

I know I made fun out of the lipo fire and lipo charging sack threads but that was just me having a bit of fun. Just so you all don't think I am completely stupid I thought I would mention that the two threads did prompt me to do something I should have done a long time ago. I have purchased a metal storage box to store my lipos in. I am going to put small "feet" (for the want of a better word) under each corner so that there is a gap between the box and whatever it is sitting. This should stop the heat that is generated when my 3 1/2 lipos catch fire from burning the house down.
