Hey Schipps, I'm going to be in Bundy next weekend Sat/Sun/Mon so if you need me to bring anything up from Brisbane/Goldy for you let me know. My father in law lives in South Kolan...

Never mind what to take up to Bundy, it's what comes back with you that's more important. See - even the tie is getting excited about it...

750HP you are the one responsible for my unashamed addiction to Bundy. Sad to say it is not available here. I take as much as I can back from the Duty free shop on my visits but it never last until the next trip.
That is by far the best rum ever. I even wrote a letter to the company and they responded right away saying there were no immediate plans to distribute to the States.
Well...maybe someday.

Oh Boxhead....bite your tongue !!!:

Every day, WHATEVER time we get home from work...it's always "Rum O'Clock"...and we enjoy a couple of drinks of that elixer* from the Gods !!


* ELIXER.....Definition :
a sweetened liquid usually containing alcohol that is used in medication either for its medicinal ingredients or as a flavoring


AND....to get back to this thread...

Schipps ya Pric....!!!!!!!!

One more beautiful / immaculate "Dark Grey" Cobra is now out there and forcing me to find another colour scheme.

I penciled in this colour as my first choice, about 5 years ago when I started thinking about building a new car, and what I would have as my "wish list".

At the time there were no Dark Grey Cobras...

The reason there are a few out there now, is that it looks so bloody good !

But,

I can't see how I could make it look any better than the ones that I'm see coming out now....and here it is...the week that I'm supposed to be delivering the car to the painters, and I don't have a clue what bloody colour it will be.

You "Dark Grey Cobra" guys are KILLING ME !

Stay Tuned...Pink? Puce?.....Tangerine ??...W.T.F.

How could you trust ANYTHING these guys had to say after "testing" 100 Rums !!?

Maybe it's the same as when I found out I had "CITRUS INTOLERANCE" !!
Had about a Hundred Coronas with a piece of Lime in each one....Jeez was I sick next morning !!.....BLOODY LIMES !!

Yeah that sounds about right. The plates was the first thing I got for the cobra before I even had a kit! A few weeks later I saw on a corrolla NA55TY. Got then just in time!

Up here in NT the plates are a 1 off fee of $130 to purchase then just pay normal rego costs.
I think every second car in private ownership has private plates.

Warren,
Why thanks.
I saw the colour in 2006 and knew that was the colour for me. Have had it hanging in the shed ever since. And yes , there seemed to not be any in Oz of that colour at the time, but just lately there have been a few.

It is your colour choice , so stick with it. I reckon you would be disappointed changing at this late stage...

Although if you went to a pink, I am pretty sure you would be the only one...

regards

Mick

Ok Mick, pm me your mobile and if I end up looking like I'm coming into town I'll ring you 1st and see if your home... Apparently I have 40 odd Droughtmaster cows and bulls we need to round up on the FIL property before I get to have a BUNDY! Urgh!

Horseback too! I'll need a rum after that!
