lets not & say we didFtoSam wrote:Lol...
back to topic...
Something that AJ and I have been discussing is making this into a competition...
i.e.
Several Areas in which each state has to earn points...
i.e.
State with most cars - 10 points
Have a dyno afternoon and state with highest avg kw gets - 10 points
Collect stuff along the cruise to coffs - different points per item
etc etc etc
State that wins has to do something like wash the other states cars, etc...
ideas??
mmm nah... I dunno... I spose I don't mind the idea.. but not so muc hthe washing the cars thing as the reward / punishment... I don't mind chipping in a few $$ to buy the NSW guys a round of drinks or something if they *somehow manage to out do us ..
but...maybe it should just be for bragging rights or something...
cause.. for ;
1. my car will already be clean & polished for the weekend
2. i'm not letting someone else wash my car unless they're a pro..
3. it's not really fair to punish the people turning up by making them do stuff / fork out $ just cause their state sucks & hardly anyone turned up
4.) it would be more of a deterrent from getting people to come along than an incentive..
5.) i'm gonna be too busy having a lazy weekend to wash someone's car .. does that even make sense? too busy being lazy?
The treasure hunt thing is a good idea, there was discussion about doing something similar a while ago but nothing ever came out of it... it could even be that we have to get stuff that you normally wouldn't be able to.. like getting someone's name badge from macca's or a maccas hat or something - so we'd actually have to go in & try to convince them to give it to us could be more fun than say, get a rock from the beach at burleigh or something ..
We could also make it that we have to get photo's of us at all the major tourist spots on the way down there etc.? big banana, big lobster, a pic taken at the border etc..?

nice and suttle lolFtoSam wrote:yeh...
maybe the losing team has to pay for dinner or something....
Shouldnt cost the losers (NSW) too much and its a nice thing for the winners (us)
pay for dinner... or... they have to buy and cook the bbq (if we r going to have a bbq, doesnt cost much at all, but its the fact they r serving us etc, u know ), or if they are cheap... a round of drinks (tops $10 per person rather than about $20 for dinner)

make it memebersmr-charisma wrote:I think we need to set down the rules as well
Starting with;
is it going to be by the amount of FTO's that show up ... or the amount of members that are there? cause those NSW'halers are bound to sign up their mates as members & bring them along dirty cheats
cos knowing sam.. he's car wont be ready .. again lol
and also sammi's car's not coming
just sign your mates that u r taking with you, up the day before leaving

Most cars - 15 points
Most people (registered or not) - 10 points
theres so many things we could do... should be great fun
Especially the collect things along the way... Did the same thing for trip to schoolies (used to live in nsw)...
Collected things like road cones (1 point each)
Roadworks signs (2 points each)
Street Signs (3 points each)
Maccas Trays (1 point each)
Randoms Phone numbers (usually being maccas personel) (2 points each)
Best photo from the journey judged by a random coffs local (5 points)
etc etc
