fro and the cowboy monkey

Coop is pretty cool. And taking a home-made retro salt-lake racer for it's shakedown run is cool.

But mostly, how cool is this trailer!

I covet that trailer. It reminds me of 50's cool and great design. Totally impractical for my needs, but so cool!

Shamelessly stolen from this post on Coop's blog.

Another boring Friday at work. Thankfully, it's pretty quiet, given the lack of people in the workplace. All at home looking after their kids on the last day of school holidays, I imagine.

In recent news, I managed to get along to the NGK Rally of Melbourne as an "apprentice" CAMS Event Observer. Very interesting, and it was great to finish the year in this fashion, meaning that I had attended all rounds of the Australian Rally Championship in 2006. I'm trying to compile a bit of a report on the over-all ARC experience this year, which may or may not make it onto the 'blog.

I'm now preparing for a trip over to Telstra Rally Australia. I'm slated to be in Advance 2, doing what isn't entirely clear to me just yet, but I'm sure it too will be interesting. Rally Australia is always interesting, and I'm sure this one will be no exception. And being the last Rally Oz in Perth (and surrounding areas), I'm expecting a big party afterwards!

From there, I've now lined up to go to Classic Adelaide. More tarmac rally experience, get a feel for these events that I recognise as the growth area. Even so, I'm still very cautious about tarmac rallying, and in particular, the average speeds involved.

Somewhere in there, I plan on finishing the never-ending repair of the OneHundredEightyBee, competing at the Ulladulla Rally, putting a new motor in my VR-4 road car, and write three responses to various ARCom decision released in the latest set of ARCom minutes.
