the problem is I'm sure the EMR will take long enough for her to call a locksmith

Thank you Bruno and Mary for organising a lovely drive today. It was very scenic and there were many great driving roads.
Best Regards

I just want to add my thanks to Mary and Bruno for orgainsing a truly great day.

We've been  members of AROCA for less than a year and only had my Spider (my first Alfa)since March. For various reasons Sunday was the first oppurtunity to participate in a club event, indeed it was the first decent drive my wife and I have taken the car on - and it was magnificent.  We were made to feel very welcome, the route was a blast (my appologies if I was holding anyone up I'm still learning how to drive it properly!), the observation questions kept us busy, lunch was excellat with good company, and the Spider performed flawlessly - We're hooked.  ;D

Thanks to all

Brett & Antoneitta

Sorry, meant to post this earlier on in the week, got busy and forgot.

Thanks to all who bought a raffle ticket for the 6-pack of Mario Speedwagon Shitbox Rally Bitter Pale Ale, we managed to raise a good amount of money for this excellent cause.  Hope the winner enjoyed the beer, it's supposed to be a similar taste to a Little Creatures Pale Ale.  I love it, but I know some people find it a bit 'hoppy'.  I'm making another batch next week, will be ready around the end of September.

Only $3740 to go!!

Little Creatures Pale Ale that's an ok drop as you said a bit hoppy I heard it goes well with Kangaroo ;D.

Two breweries that visitors to W.A. must stop in for a beer Little Creatures in Fremantle and Bootleg in Margaret River.

Pm me your address, I'll send you a beer.  Don't anyone else get any ideas about asking though, I'm nearly out of this batch, and the next batch I will need to use more constructively for trying to raise money for the big adventure.  Obviously I can't "sell" it, but I'll be happy to give beer to people, and I'm sure they'll donate to the cause in exchange....

I don't know how well the beer will travel, dehne can let us know.

I think you need some marketing support. 

How about a stall at Spettacolo?
