Congratulations to Sam for post #10,000.

..... though it is tempting to go back and delete a random post somewhere :!: :shock:

my longing for a supercharged V8 GT.

My BiL has 2* both with the same number.

*not sure if the original GTs were supercharged.

I actually looked at the LAN site for a quote on SYD-AKL return in the week that I'm in Brisbane next March and it came back as $748.00,which for business class is pretty good,not sure how many SC's that fare earns (books into I class),

The return trip earns 160 SC's. I had not realised that it was now so cheap with the strong AUD.

when you consider the cost of travelling QF business from SYD-BNE then $748.00 every couple of weeks wouldn't seem too bad, (admittedly the fares will fluctuate)you could always get an apartment in Auckland.

I don't commute SYD-BNE business class but for a change scenery $748 every couple of weeks would not be a huge outlay. And as serfty mentions book it from AKL and it is ~AUD615.

But you have to leave AKL at 5.50AM:shock:

No big deal. Leave Friday morning and arrive in SYD before noon and then fly back Sunday morning.

Feel free to, it’s only a number, just don’t expect to stay at 10k for long, as I’m sure there’ll be a wave of deletions

And I see one post has disappeared, but now how many more?

It has begun!

The timetable for the week that I looked at (March 28/29) shows the ex AKL flight as leaving at 06:50 so it probably changes after daylight saving anyway.

The supercharged GT only got released two months ago, up until then the turbo stole the V8s thunder.

It seems to wander by an hour in the time between when Oz and NZ swap daylight savings.

10k here I believe…

And I have proof

Should you be heading up to Dans NM, take care through the roadworks near where big dads used to be, the bus stop is full of blue uniforms.

Mrs NM has just returned that that direction.

It wasn’t just me so it doesn’t worry me, and I knew it’d be coming

I have the proof anyway

Glad we got 10,000 out of the way. And this is 999 from me....

What proof? Photoshop anyone?

Bring on 300,000 views, then.

And this is 999 from me....

Slowly catching up with Flashware for #2 poster in this thread. Hmmm.... rather dubious honour when you think about it:?:

 

[samh004]

I might actually win the award for worst Photoshop user in the world, I don’t even have it installed on this computer

You know when playing against mods you can loose.

Congrats to Sam as he was able to show proof; some of us have been working, better working inside the air conditioning than doing stuff outside in this heat.

Heat??

A pleasant 20 degress where I am.
