Went for a run last night

Up Nebo -> Down Glorius -> Up Glorius -> Down Samford.

All the roads seemed fine, few soft edges and potholes on the nebo stretch otherwise all good!!!

Very very cold too!

well my tyres are not good but the missus and I would like to join you guys for a run up the hill. Been for a few runs with the Melbourne guys when I was down there last year and they were always fun. See you all tomorrow night.

I forgot that my brake caliper is getting rebuilt tomorrow. Hopefully I can get it installed and bled in time, if not I will be late...

Last Friday of the Month Mt Nebo/Mt Glorious Night Run

So that was a rather eventful night, much more than I would like from a quiet night out or anytime for that matter.

I don't suppose anyone managed to grab the number plates of the white falcon? My housemate and I were very unimpressed with the way it was dríven up mys street and through to Simpsons Road, all of which is a 40 zone.

I am still taken back by the amount of heat tonight when I was making the point of being well behaved and was getting accused of all sorts of things and obviously singled out later on. My housemate who was also in the car with me at the time can concurr that I was not doing anything wrong for which I was accused. It is a very simple idea that if I was doing the posted speed then of course he would have to exceed that to catch up to me? It is an mx5, it is going to maintain that speed around corners better than a commodore and means the commodore would obviously have to speed to catch up! At least I didn't end up with any tickets etc.

Oh well I just hope this doesn't mean I am going to be targeted from now on or anything like that. If the officer involved happens to read this I hope he can put this behind him and not try to draw it out even more than what has already past, which I believe was already a witch-hunt.

Cheers,
Tim

When we left Mt Cootha and turned right to go home we passed a white FG XR falcon parked on the side of the road with the driver sitting in it. Bet it was the same guy...

Yeah it was a good night.

Re the Police attention, they kept a close eye on us, had a look at all of our cars, and none of us got booked because we weren't doing anything wrong. :)

It wasn't anything like that Andrew, more to the point I just happenned to be the one in the wrong place to draw the attention. I was not doing anything wrong, I would just put it down to a perception thing, mx5 goes around corner, looks fast. Luckily it didn't result in anything more than an unnecessary spray and the whole of ferny gove/ the gap's police force watchinig our every move.

You are right Terry, I am sure the current police minister would agree that allocating all of the local police force into watching everything a group of mx5s were doing on the way to getting a coffee is a great use of our supposedly limited police resources. Sad thing is I am not being sarcastic...

I was told by a friend who lives in the gap that there were still police cars sitting in the bus stop near settlement road after 11pm.
