unfortuantly it would want to be just up the road as i am on claytons horse which does tend to limit my area of exploration but still if you need a hand i enjoy getting my hands greasy otherwise we wouldnt own minis

Peter - Dimboola - born and bred there? - do the names Nettelbeck and Stalker mean anything to you?

Acacia Ridge - my daughter used to work in the Pharmacy there and one day had a customer ask her "how do you tell a well dressed Acacia Ridge resident? - They are wearing matching thongs"

Also will you be getting your turbo mini out on the tracks around here? It would be good to see it on a track.

Old story goes---> saw a fella walkin along wearing one thong,,, i said """Hey mate!!!,,, lost a thong hey? "''

he said,,,---> """Nah, found one :-)"""

That story originated in Inala,,, Acacia Ridge is pretty similar place :-)
