jim Posted July 2, 2007 Share Posted July 2, 2007 Hi all, Visiting my daughter in Brisbane, and have yet to see a Z. She tells me she hardly sees any round here. We left Glasgow on Saturday at 3:15 pm, just as the attempted bombers were at work apparently. It seems we were very lucky to get away. Just glad nobody was hurt. Sorry if this has been covered in another thread, but I haven't been able to search through 220 unread posts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jim Posted July 2, 2007 Author Share Posted July 2, 2007 Thanks Tim. It was blue skies, sunny and warm today, but cold tonight. The jet lag is kicking in so I'm off to bed now. More Z hunting tomorrow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
martinmac Posted July 2, 2007 Share Posted July 2, 2007 Should be the ideal place to have one with the roads/ weather. Dont know how one would look with Roo bars though, couldnt get much beer in the back. Have a great time, Martin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Jim, I was in Surfers Paradise in March (just south of Brisbane) and I did see a few Z's. Most were white, which I thought at the time looked decidedly dodgy !!

Sarnie Posted July 2, 2007 Share Posted July 2, 2007 Seems like you were very lucky to get away at the airport mate! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jim Posted July 26, 2007 Author Share Posted July 26, 2007 Hi all. Just got back from Oz, with no alarms on the return trip. The Brisbane police were still holding one of the Glasgow bomb suspects when we left, and it was noticeable how airport security has been increased - queues and delays everywhere. I was surprised at how few Zs I saw in just over three weeks in Queensland, and almost all of them were in and around Brisbane. We spent a week in Port Douglas and Cairns and did not see one throughout that time. Mind you, given the state of the roads as you go further north, it would not be a sensible choice of vehicle for most people. The most popular choices in most areas seem to be the "utes" that most people favour. The Aussies do like their big V6s and V8s though. I did see quite a few VR6 Monaros, many of which were clearly their owners' pride and joy. The one thing I did not see was rain - clearly all of the world's supply has been retained by the UK over the past three weeks! Now to try to sift through hundreds of threads to catch up with all the gossip. It's good to be back! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
martinmac Posted July 26, 2007 Share Posted July 26, 2007 Kept plenty of rain for you so you didnt feel left out. Good to hear the journey back was uneventful Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jim Posted July 26, 2007 Author Share Posted July 26, 2007 Thanks Martin. Yes - we were hardly an hour back home today when the heavens opened. It's a lovely evening up here at the moment, though. Might manage to play with the Z a bit before going back to work on Monday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
