Chris back in Maxis Blitzheaven

[zemsi]

Good Day

I thought I just start a new thread about my new short visit to Max & Kathy in Yass.

As you probably still know, I enjoyed the Aussie hospitality of Max & Kathy back in Summer 2005. I'll be going back to visit them and enjoy Corowa . It's going to be a very international event with Karmen & Jif coming too. I don't think all of this would be possible without the MLU community! Hope to meet some new MLU members in Corowa.

I will leave Switzerland next Thursday and keep you updated about my Aussie impressions.

Greetings
Chris

Is this a case of being a gluton for punishment?

Cheers

PS> I hope you really enjoy your new trip Chris.

Chris, there will be no shortage of MLU people there, so you're bound to meet some new friends, as well as ride (and swim) in some fun vehicles.

[zemsi]

... brilliant, I haven't had a ride in a DUKW so far.

I hope you don't mind my European truck drive style ;-)

[Keith Webb]

Looks like a shocking experience.

Just leave the driving to us. We know how to drive on the correct side of the road.

Or a case of Max having "Mutton for punishment"?

[zemsi]

Australia here I come!

Will fly in 5 hours :-))

Cu soon, mates
Chris

[Keith Webb]

Keep flapping your wings!

Looking forward to seeing you again, Chris.

PILOT- "Attention, passengers, It's my duty to inform you that we have to turn back due to one of the engines having failed"
NERVOUS PASSENGER- "I wonder how far we can get on one engine?"
BASTARD PASSENGER- "Right to the scene of the crash"

One would hope that the scene of the crash would be on the return trip home AFTER the awesome visit has been enjoyed!!!

Good day folkes

Just wanted to let you know, that I despite "the engine trouble" have safely arrived in Sydney. Max & Kathy picked me up and we spent the afternoon watching (young girls) at Manly Beach.

Will stay in Sydney until Tuesday before making my way down to Blitzheaven.

Greetings
Chris

PS Gosh, over 35 degrees today. A little bit shocking after having not more than 10 degrees the last few weeks.

[Keith Webb]

Just spoken to Max - welcome back to Aussie!

... Mates, I arrived safely this afternoon in Yass. Travelled 4 h by train from Sydney next to an awful smelly drunken bloke...

Write soon more.

You shouldn't say things like that about Max, Chris!

I think he was talking about the sheep, Keefy.... They've missed him, after all...

Two sleeps and we're outta here!

[zemsi]

Max just collected the Ford Ute at John's place. I love the V8 sound, very smooth. She'll be my personal means of transport for Corowa

Thanx to youtube, you can watch her when Max is firing her up

[zemsi]

... here's a pic from Saturday, when Max, Kathy and I were visiting Manly Beach.

[zemsi]

... Max dedicated me into the famous Aussie white pointer hunting ;-) Where do you find them???

[Keith Webb]

There are some more secluded beaches where you may see 'white pointers'.

You're here to see MV's Chris.

Stay focused, please!

Where is the red jacket?

[zemsi]

The red jacket is back home :-( I expected temperatures in the 30+ and no rainfall. Brr, at the moment it's only 18 degrees and a chilly wind. Hope I don't freeze too much when sleeping in a swag in Corowa. Or you'll have to organise a female hot water bottle for cold nights, oh, that'll be cuddly ;-))

cu Bob

After all the "trouble" with the Canadiens, I thought I'll give you a little update.

Here's Max's new project, restoring the Cab 11.

Do you know the movie "12 monkeys" with Bruce Willies? Here are 2 monkeys, find the missing 10 ;-)

[zemsi]

... here are some other monkeys, should be Cab 12

[zemsi]

... who does need some spare parts ;-))) Kathy is happy to answer all your questions ;-)
