did you just hurt your knee recently or is this an old injury? ok well as long as you can walk that is the main thing. Most of it I think you will cope with. The good thing is its not entirely about being the fastest team, while there is a place for the first over the line, placings are based on the mystery time, which isnt neccessarily fast, so it sort of adds an element of luck. The paid challenge may be something you opt out of, bring some cash just incase, but if you get there and decide it will be too difficult just nominate a team member to do it for you. (they may hate you for making them do it twice though, hehehe)

Thanks its a shame you cant make it to this one, maybe the rest of your team will defend the title?

I dont know how bad your knee is. Can you walk, drive, climb stairs? If you have a team of three or four members we can accomodate you if you can not partake in a task nominate one of your team members to do the task for you. I dont see it as being a problem, the event is more about having fun. I try to allow for all ages, sizes, shapes and fitness levels of people when planning challenges. If you have any specific requirements you can PM me and I will discuss it with you in more detail.

The ball is in motion and organisation has begun for the second WCC Amazing Race Themed Cruise. Below is some information so you can set aside the day, organise a team and set aside some cash if you are on a budget. Those short on cash might like to try and win entry into the themed cruise – see www.westcoastcruisers.com.au Guest members Section>events>Contest. NOTE that contest entries close on the 7th May. This particular Amazing Race has a challenge that requires a small entry fee of $10/person. This challenge is likely something most of you have never done before. It is physical but your average joe should have no troubles. It will add some extra thrill that can not be achieved without the cost. I hope this does not put you off, It is very exciting and I only wish I was able to take part. ************************** DATE: 16th May 2010 - Sunday START TIME: Check in at 9am – Event Starts at 9.30am MEET POINT: Lake Monger Reserve Car Park – Powis Street Glendalough ENTRY FEE: $20 per team and $10/person for a paid challenge event.

There will be tasks that will need to be completed in order for you to receive your next clue. The event is likely to take the majority of the day. Teams must fill out the nomination form and sign the disclaimer and post/email to the details supplied on the form by the closing date so that the event can be organised around definite numbers.

Best to be safe and get your entry in on time. This event is about having FUN, the prizes are just a bonus! ANY MALICIOUS OR FOUL PLAY WILL NOT BE TOLLERATED. Any team found to sabotage challenges to hinder other teams will be eliminated. This can be dangerous and we can not afford people to get lost or injured. Mystery Time - Organisers will run the entire course and challenges to obtain an average completion time, this time will be used as the Mystery time. Teams closest to this time are the winners. More info will be posted if and when I think of it, Im sure I have probably forgotten to write something. Mark your calendars and start organising a team! Feel free to ask any questions you may have

I miss out on so much lately due to the bubs, id love to come but most likely wont. Day cruises work best for the little one. Hope you all have fun! P.S. the zig zag rocks at night! you wont see any roos at that time of night and with all those hotted/loud cars they will have plenty of warning and be long gone. Drive sensible, and enjoy the view!

I noticed you asked for ideal times. I dont think you will be able to please everyone, there are quite a few who work on saturdays. I think the best thing to do would be to organise it so that we hit your sisters shop for a late lunch say around 1ish. However the times work out will depend on your course. I think you should make the time, then let everyone know so they can start planning, requesting time off etc.

Photoshop is gooooood. I so much prefer it with clear indicators, they go much better with the white rims and it looks more modern/fresh. if you do go with clear or tinted, I also like the nismo R33 side blinkers, that is if your car has the little side blinkers, otherwise there is no need to worry about them. They look way sexier than little orange nobs.

Id deffinately paint them black, But I agree with Ricca, go all black. and dont skimp on it, get them powdercoated, no sense in stuffing decent rims with a $3 can of spray paint.

Think its all personl preference. I like the clear ones better personally, I dont like orange. Maybe do a google and see what other purple cars look best with. or if you are handy with photoshop you could always see what they will look like before you make your mind up. I love photoshop
