Just a quick message and one photo sorry. Just spent a couple of hours having breaky at Maccas and cruising around my local area (Shearwater/Latrobe & Devonport) with Jamie (Fatboy)

Not sure if you have to be a nice person to buy an i30 or having an i30 makes you into a nice person but like every other member I have met so far (and that is over 20) Jamie didn't disappoint..

I reckon we still wouldn't have run out of things to talk about after 2 days let alone 2 hours...He had a 300 kilometre drive to do and people to see (so I begrudgingly let him go)  (after we identified a couple of spots on the block he could land a helicopter next time he is in the area

I am "wrapped" to have such a nice fella moving down here (and just for the record he's skinnier than me .. but that wouldn't be hard)

Good stuff....

Great post Dazzler. You're right, Jamie's a really nice bloke.

I finally get to see the Fatboy i30. Looks nice, but has a bit of a SAG in the front

[Alasama]

Nice to see real Fatboy. Looks so nice, especially his smile 

[Shambles]

great shot - thanks both


As for the moniker "fatboy" I believe that's a misnomer - there's nothing boyish about you mate

Great post Dazz.
Glad you were able to catch up. 

[Dazzler]

I'll send Jamie a text message shortly and see how his day went  (was raining early but turned into a reasonable if a bit cool day)

[FatBoy]

Thanks Dazzler, I had a great time with you.  It was a great way to break up my travel and to get to see a bit of the North of Tasmania.  As you said, I reckon we could have kept talking for a few more days!!  Thanks once again for your's and Trish's hospitality.

As for the rest of the day, I dropped into AGFEST (Tasmanian Agricultural Field Day) and checked out a few future toys (quad bikes, ride on lawn mowers, chainsaws, etc).  Quite a good event (if a little muddy).

The rest of the day was pretty well spent driving South with only a few showers to pass through.  I'll post up a story of my travels later on (with a few photos).

Thanks Jamie you saved me 25 cents    I hadn't messaged you yet as I wanted to make sure you were settled in first.

So it was a resonably pleasant drive down then?

[FatBoy]

It was the best type of drive, uneventful!!

Saying that, there was nearly an accident about 5 km from my destination (not me, thankfully).  An i30cw (most probably a tourist), didn't give way at an intersection (after stopping) and pulled out in front of a car.  Luckily the second car was going about 40 km/h and was able to avoid a collision (with much head shaking).

[Dazzler]

Funny that it was an i30 (glad it had a happy ending) Hopefully we'll see you down there in a couple of weeks

No. no!
I can't handle change.

cool.
By the way, I love car's registration plate    if it were in Russia someone would pay much money to obtain the plates like that (they are called "nice plates" and distinguished by a combination of similar figures, such as 999, 111 etc or/and certain letters)

It used to be, if you "knew" someone in the Main Roads Department you could access certain combinations as they came up. Had a mate who rallied and Renault R8 many, many years ago and his navigator was in the MRD (still is I think). The letter sequence was coming up to "POO" and they snagged "POO-000
First rally with the new plates they shot off the road on a bend supposed to take them to the side of a farm yard. And ended up in the pig enclosure.
I promise you that is a true story.

Went to Agfest today (as mentioned in my first post) nice and sunny today but very muddy (ended up an inch taller by the end of the day)  (will do a separate report with pix probably 2moro)

He'll soon get rid of that now he's in Tassie
