Fun fun fun!

"Down these mean skies a Kat must fly..."

For 5 days, over 2400km of twisty, scenic Tasmanian roads, Craig Laker (generously risking his shiny '92
Toyota MR-2) and Tzup (generously risking his considerable mass as ballast for the left side of Craig's
shiny car), clutching his Simba plush, rediscover the true meaning of the word, FUN!

MR-2 from front

* Craig Laker deftly operates the car, while Tzup seems to be playing with the stereo...
* When I said "left right", I meant left. right? Not left - right. Right?

MR-2 going past

* Lot's of people asked what TLK-L was. But "that's our little secret."
* and Yes that is an Enforcers badge. Didn't you know I'm a part time Enforcer?

MR-2 bum shot

* Your eyes don't deceive you, that is an FCOS - TLKiaWol bumper sticker.
Only $9.95 + P&P from your local FCOS chapter.
* TIP: Never say 'overtake this side' on a race car. People do...
* Oi! Look out for that bump.... What bump?

MR-2 over rail tracks

* Oooofff! Oh, that bump.

Are we there yet?

* "Is that it? <laughes> Can we go around again?" - Craig
* "Is that it? <whimper> Can I go home now?" - Tzup

MR-2 with plates

* Oh look, we got back. And it's still sorta the same shape.
* It rattles a bit now though...

All us mugs

Special THANKS to Craig for keeping us on the black stuff and in one piece!
To my understanding wife Yu-Wen for letting me off my leash to play.
Lisa Guy for letting Craig off his leash, and for organising everything so very well.

Thanks also to Darren for patiently watching the Tasmanian forest go by.
Phil Hinds and his wonder tools, advice and local knowledge.
Vicky and Chris for getting somewhat inebriated with us afterwards.
Simon Dakin for his authentic paw prints. (Simon has paws?)

And a big wave to all the denizens of TLK-L and all the Kats on SKML.
Never let anyone tell you you're too old for cartoons!
