I've had the best day..............
rachael brown - June 3rd, 2003 at 09:37 PM

Today i decided to go down the coast to visit my friend, i thought should i take lizzy (kombi) or my vespa and freeze my bits off (but get there faster!). so i decided to take lizzy for a hoon.............. man i had so much fun just crusing along the freeway listening to my boyfriends latest edition to my CD collection, ELO greatest hits............... now im only 30 but i had flash backs of the 70's with mum and dad and 6 kids in our blue '72 volkswagon microbus going on holidays in the summer singing along to ELO. What a day!!:D

ELO now thats scarey,On a vespa I thought The who or The specials would be far more appropriate...


rachael brown - June 3rd, 2003 at 09:50 PM

i didnt say i liked ELO, im i little young ............. well i hope im a little young ................... it was a awsome flash back though.

i need built in headset on my helmet for the vespa. do they make them?

Shades of "the kids are alright" come to mind, and mods and rockers fights.

But I agree Rachel - sometimes just the right music, right road, right weather, and the right car - make it all worthwhile sometimes.

Squiz.....

Rachael, So was that you I passed approaching the South eastern freeway at about 3:20 ish near cranbourne / carrum ?


rachael brown - June 3rd, 2003 at 11:15 PM

yep


fatboy - June 3rd, 2003 at 11:21 PM

Its gettin bad when you can recognise someone from their avatar and their bus from a reflection in their sunnies, I said to my wife "I think I know her", but I think she thought I was just talkin crap.

Nice bus - but you should really get one of those handsfree phone kits though :o:P:o

Kol, if only you knew, the pain, the suffering, and the embaressment - and thats just being married, never mind getting a clip round the ear now and then

Racheal - with your gear stick - I have heard you can use an occy strap to help stop it jumping out - give it a go :thumb

Hey fish, I think I might have seen you driving around, are you at the Caloundra end of the coast or the Noosa end? If Noosa then I haven't ;) but I've seen a yellow and white Kombi getting around.

Isn't it amazing, you never notice them until you get one and get interested and then suddenly they are Everywhere!!!
(btw I'm likely to be in the Convertible bug Carrera, it's 'bubblegum green' or that's what I call the colour anyhow ;) )


hool - June 7th, 2003 at 08:53 AM

elo = electric light orchestra

lots of big hair and sideburns, fake velvet jackets with big lapels, mega flares etc... the usual 70s thing

it was a big band - take your average pop group, add a string section and some pretty good tunes

i don't think anyone has done any elo covers though, you half expect a dj to re-mix one of their songs, a bit like that awful remake of don henley's boys of summer that came out recently...


type3kid - June 7th, 2003 at 06:24 PM

yeah dj's always seem to ruin the good tuners. went out last night and heard choirboys run to paradise with a dance beat behind it. it was plain wrong.


hool - June 7th, 2003 at 10:39 PM

choirboys with a dance beat, glad i missed that one!! did the dj get pelted with beer bottles? if not, he should have been!!


Adam_C - June 7th, 2003 at 10:44 PM
