20 December 2009 - CCG Xmas Observation/Economy Run and BBQ

[Akaoni (Casey)]

Due to popular demand, the CCG has now come up with another Observation/Economy Run.
The run will be followed up with an Xmas BBQ.

Observation/Economy Run Details

Date: 20 December 2009
Start time: 8:30am
Meetup loaction: Fyshwick Shell Service Station, Cnr Ipswich & Wiluna Sts, Fyshwick
Cost: $5 per vehicle
What you get: Detailed instructions to drive a course and see how observant you are while travelling around this great city of ours. Bonus points added for the more humorous answers.

There will be prizes awarded for: Best Fuel consumption, Most questions answered correctly, Most amusing answer and Worst fuel consumption (You may not want this prize - You have been warned)

Cars will be dispatched at 10 min intervals.

The cruise is based on the posted speed limits and there is no prize for getting to the end first (except maybe a couple of speeding tickets). The trip will take around 2 1/2 hours, cruise route is around 130k's and there is a BBQ at the end.

You must fill up your car before you leave the Fyshwick Servo (even if you filled the car up the day before, you will be required to do a splash and dash in front of those organising the event)

All petrol caps/flaps will be sealed to prevent unscrupulous behaviour or plain cheating. Material used for this will not harm paint in any way (we promise).

You will need to bring the following:

Pens - you never know when the only one in the car is going to stop working.
Navigator - why be alone? Besides, you need to blame someone for not reading the directions correctly.
Clip board or a hard surface - so you or your navigator can write down answers.
Money - to fill up before and after the run and for food and drink at the BBQ.

Sam and I will be there, and will try and rope his family into coming along as navigators so we can bring both cars

[RP071]

Got a Christmas party on Saturday night so I'm going to have to say that I will be unable to attend.

[The Green Terror]

I'm double booked for this one so I am going to have to bow out.

Will come along for the BBQ, but not sure I want to get the spoon for worst economy on the observation run.... How does it work if your fuel cell won't get you the full distance without refilling?

[jezz]

Phil we will let you take some jerry can's as well if you want that way you can include it in your overall....

Also i think Matt in TGT will be also using fuel like a stuck pig...

How many will be coming?

Our daughter has a dancing presentation and it's Sam's mum's 50th on Sunday, so just trying to plan the day....

[jezz]

So far not a whole lot but I'm hopeful that more show up on the day.


Cheers

I'll definitely be there.... for the BBQ anyways

Do we need to bring anything?

[Kedderz]

Celica has no steering box so I cant attend in that, but me + the missus and ellie(dog) will be attending the BBQ.

Im assuming dogs are allowed?

[ashleyw]

Its a public park, unless you will be breaking the law I can't see the problem with bringing a dog.

[1JZ-Rolla]

Mate I think you'll find that all of the Murrumbidgee river down south (with the exception of the designated swimming area at Point Hut Crossing) is a dogs prohibited area, regardless of whether you are in a public park or not.

[Kedderz]

Aww, that sucks.

[SumKid]

How was it?
