  1. Thanks Branco for this top round. Congrats to those pesky Fords . Juniors car is still the one to beat. Will there be a track along the way they these Fords wont like ????? . I think my driver was too busy playing tourist and the navvy apparently got hold of the latest Playsheep mag . I dont know , those 2 guys are easily distracted . Oh well , on to Munters and see what happens up North. Again , thanks Mark for the time and effort , just one question , do the cars have to go through customs to get to the North island . I know this is not helping my cause for a win . Cheers Craig
  2. Thanks for the first stage Mark . That was quick . Thanks to the NZ customs guys for the releasing of the cars . Pics look good , especially mine with one of the locals getting in the way and making it dinner for the rest of the drivers . Looks like another RS 200 takeover . They are the gun car . Will have to see if there is a track they don't like. If any . 8 secs from 1st to last , that's not bad. See if the Audi's can climb the ladder on the next one . Cheers Craig
  3. Back to work today , just.... No worries Leo . Cheers Craig
  4. Hi guys for those who may not know , cars have now been released from Customs . Seems their kids are not into rallying so let us off the hook. Round should be run on the weekend as per Mark. So that was a good ending to that bit of drama . So here we go into the land of the long white cloud . Good luck to all. Cheers Craig
  5. Thanks for the round Rosco, Agree Aloha , my points tally to 540, which would drop me down a bit but am happy to take the current points . Onward to the last round. Cheers Craig
  6. Things are quiet on the Kiwi front . Have the cars cleared customs or have they held them up because they've found my navvy's stash of Playboys 😮😮😂.
  7. Hey Craig, you've just gained 60 kilos and two stuffed knees. Always thought I had a twin. Just thought he would have been in better shape. 😁
  8. Just a question Branco , but has NZ got electricity as there was a bicycle which looked like it had battery packs parked fairly close to the track . Also saw the gumboots near the garage door, last nights sex party I see . Peter Gunn ,I think between Mels place where they started then to Me then Gaz , we feel priviliged to have added about 22 klms (13.22 mi) to your 11, 659 miles . Cheers Craig
  9. Thanks for all the car info Phil . It's weird that you can drive a car for so many laps without any probs , then all of a sudden it will deslot in the same place . The many wonders of slot car racing. On my car , i was going to move it a little more forward but it decided to leave it alone . But , what works at my track doesn't mean it will work at another. I think I will have to have that placed at the bottom of Proxy Rules . We keep saying that alot . Thanks for the correction Chas as when my brother was over there a while ago with his AC/ DC concept band they heard Air Pencil . Cheers Craig
  10. To late , I'm an early riser here in OZ , so caught you out . You guys can't be like that because if your government didn't let that Cook bloke go on a world cruise and decide to holiday here , then go back home and tell the rest of your mob , this place still would be back in the dark ages and slot cars would have only just been started , so this proxy truly would have been yours to conquer. God Save The Queen because nothing will save the bloke who discovered us . That saying was made famous here in the 70's by a politician but I changed the last bit . Oh and by the way , the cars are now off to that other holiday resort place , New Zealand , another that Cook bloke holidayed at after he found the natives restless here , Good Luck......... Cheers Craig P.s. The Kiwi's may eat you alive, figuratively speaking
  11. Ok guys , if you haven't seen yet , Mel has put up the Points tally so far on the Results at a Glance page . Branco and Munter, have fun with the rounds . Are the cars travelling by air pencil from the south to the north or do you trust the post . Cheers Craig
  12. Congrats to the podiumites . Well deserved for a Phil orientated track 😉. Thanks again to you Phil and any helpers you may have enlisted along the way. Ok , now to cross the ditch to see what happens there. Cheers Craig
  13. Onya Phil . Will wait with baited breath for the next run . Thanks again for what you've done. I think someone needs to eat humble pie .
  14. Ok guys here's the Points tally as of Phil's Shelmore Park Rnd 3. Looks like there's one car clearing the field but there's a few more tracks to contend with , so lets see if it has an achilles heel. Just to get back to some of the previous comments ,we've been saying for a while now that each track has it's own characteristic's and what works on one doesn't mean it will work at another. but hey, that's slotcar's for you. Cheers Craig
  15. Many Happy Returns for whats left of your birthday mate. Hope you didnt do it to hard or even had the day off . The big 50 is just around the corner. Cheers Craig
  16. Thanks Phil for the start of your round . Just had a look at your posting time . You suffering from insomnia or just getting up for that man break we have at our age . If 10.5 is a good lap , i;m happy with juuuusssst being out of it. My navvy must have turned to the centre spread of Playboy again at the crucial moment . Or failing that , Chris Meeks has jumped into the car and we know what happens then . Good pics aswell. Anyway looking forward to Stage 2 . Try and get some sleep between stages and stay warm , cold one down your way again today. No doubt snow on Wellington soon if not already , but then again that can near be all year round Cheers Craig
  17. Hi guys almost forgot to put up the Podium shots. First up Stage 1 Stage 2 Final Results Only going through my phone yesterday and saw them . Thanks Mel for putting up the points table . Haven't learnt to do this yet. Cheers Craig
  18. Stage 2 As you can tell times were better . It was a better weather day than Saturday . Congrats to Aquakiwi and JAMC again . Both these cars are good . Final Result / Rnd 1 Minto Rally Park Congrats again to Aquakiwi and JAMC overall. Thanks again Gaz for all the pics and marshalling . Makes it a lot easier. Peter Gunn , don't beat yourself up , it's only the first round . It is a nice car to drive but the shake down is only to get a feel for your car , not to and do a stage and dont forget there were an extra 3 cars missing in the pack so you could have been 3 more positions down Long way to go. Alexis , as I was told on the weekend , maybe this is a Ford orientated track Ben will send you a Pm. Cheers All Craig
  19. Yes Branco , it does get cold here. But only when you don't want it to. Just a reminder to those who are hosting , please take pics so we know what your layout looks like . And don't forget the sponser. There are track banners in the box of cars ,so you can spread them out around the track for the duration of your proxy then put them back in the box for the next host to use. Ok down to business. Ran stage 2 today and complete turn around from yesterday . It was a bit warmer in the garage and the track rubbered up well. Big thanks to Gaz for marshalling and his photo work . Rnd 1 Minto Rally Park - Stage 1 For those wondering why ZeGas is by himself , he realised that his car was ineligible for this proxy . As he had paid his entry fee we decided to run it but will not gain any points . He's ok with this decision and just wants to see how the car performs. Congrats to JAMC , Aquakiwi and Scuderia Turini for making podium. Phil , your going to have to get the kids to set your cars up . Will put up Stage 2 tomorrow , so its back to the garage to start cleaning up. Cheers Craig
  20. Have run stage 1 of the proxy yesterday and will run stage 2 today . I will do the spread sheets when all is finished . Bit of a cold day yesterday and the track didn:t rubber up as good as it usually does . We:ll see what today brings. Cheers Craig
  21. Hi guys I've put together a shakedown from last Saturday . For those who do not know my track , it will be a short circuit of 15 mtrs , ( i'm not running the extended version as I'm finding it hard each year to get them down out of the roof of the garage and join them up . Age they say has a bit to do with it.) The surface is polyurethane paving paint and the voltage will be 10v. Ok here's the shakedown. Splitrim , I am sending you a PM with 2 pics of your car . I am looking to do 2 stages on the coming weekend . So watch this space. Thanks to those who have participated in this event and good luck. We still have 3 cars , Slotcarmann and Barbs Hill who will be starting their quest from the UK at Leo's track and Snurfens car which hasn't turned up yet . Hopefully not a present to a postal employee's kid. Cheers Craig
  22. Hi guys . As we still waiting on some cars and we did forget that our club round had to be put off til this weekend, we will be hopefully running the first round of the WRP next weekend. I will get the cars we have off Mel Saturday night and give them a run on Sunday. All cars running ok I'll try and give a bit of feedback on them . By the way I'll be running the track without extensions this year. Cheers Craig
  23. As Minto Park Rally will be the first cab off the rank and for those who are new , here is Ben M's Mini from last year on a vid. Cheers Craig
  24. Nice job mate . The lighting adds that little more. Glad the loco isn't live as you wouldn't want to brake down on the crossing . Cheers Craig
  25. "Happy Birthday Mate ". Hope you had a great day .
