Peter Posted July 12, 2008 Report Posted July 12, 2008 Peter...... Just ran your co-ordinates that you had on your G.P.S when you 'broke' your latest personal best record thru google......and it seems to put you about 20 -30 km north of Prossy....west of the highway...(they allow buggy's on the roads up there now???)......isn't Conway Beach south of Airlie??????????..... just looking about and found this. i dont know about 20 t0 30km north of prossy, the photo was taken after getting home, and waiting for billy to go back again. it was on the table in my back yard.

Andy Mac Posted August 5, 2008 Report Posted August 5, 2008 Cheers Popeye - now I could go back to feeling special.... except that it sounds crap when you say it in mph Quote
popeyethewelder Posted August 10, 2008 Report Posted August 10, 2008 Well today happens to be my turn for a new PB, after a 370mile 7hr round trip....to spend the total of two hours on the beach and a total of no more than ten minutes in the Dominator Buggy, because of mental gusts, the wind was 28mph gusting to 41mph, with hail stones rain sun you name it, we had it...I literally couldn't keep my feet on the ground when the 2.5 Century was at the Zenith, any way, after being rather disappointed with my top speed, and Croftland1 getting over 40mph in his new (My Old) SuperBug, we headed back to the car park, it was only when I was taking my GPS out of the holder I noticed the top speed was set on the average speed....Ahaaaaaaaaaaa, no wonder I felt I was going faster than it said... After locating the top speed, I found that I had done 54.30mph, after covering only 4 miles....87.38kmh/54.30mph chuffed wasn't the word, finally got home and called into the pertrol station to fill the van up to the brim again, and the total amount I could get in was... yep £54.30...

SoutherlyBuster Posted August 11, 2008 Report Posted August 11, 2008 Good one popeye, now I know the other reason why you guys where helmets, hail stones hitting your face at 87 km/hr, that got to smart when it hits. Quote
Goz Posted August 11, 2008 Report Posted August 11, 2008 Nice work Popeye just shy of the 55mph mark but a very respectable speed indeed only 13km/h short of 100km/h. Sounds like you had all 4 seasons in your short stay at the beach though. Quote
JKS Posted August 11, 2008 Report Posted August 11, 2008 Hey Carl It must have been some pretty wild weather to keep you off the Dominator !! .... Especialy after such a huge drive Bummer mate ... I hate it when that happens ... then I spose the trick is to make the journey half the fun Congrats on your top speed .... I imagine when the right day arrives you are in for a treat Happy Days Quote
nigel Posted August 11, 2008 Report Posted August 11, 2008 Dam!!! Another one snapping at my heels! Well done Carl! Quote
