Goodbye Alice
Well its all over red rover. The car auction went really well and we sold every car, although there were plenty of people in Alice who received a great bargain and we were sad to see our cars being driven off. Kooks of Hazzard went speeding around the corner of the Lasseters hotel being driven by two surfer dudes on the way to Adelaide. Keep Gus under 100km guys or he’ll blow. The hoons that bought our shitbox left the casino by doing a burn out on the grass and then speeding off into the night. I was lucky enough to grab our fluffy steering wheel cover which will be coming along for the ride in 2011.
Dave Douglas a local businessman grabbed a great bargain with the Toecutters Volvo and plan to take it around the country in the next variety club bash. This lovely man and his wife also hooked us up with karaoke last night which was a perfect way to end the rally after the triple j one night stand party.
One of my favourite memories of the night was all of our shitbox rally drivers standing up waving their hands to Mel (Chier le boite) singing one of our rally songs “Love is in the air.”
We’ve had an amazing time on the rally and seen some truly spectacular countryside. We spent most of the day around the pool yesterday, gave away some very crap prizes including two garden gnomes to the Muff drivers for their efforts in daily dress ups that gave us such entertainment over the last week.
Now as i sit contemplating the last week and suffering a large bout of post rally blues i wonder what is next and when can we get started.

Well done on such an awesome event. Congratulations.
you would be happy to know the burnout surfer dudes got 80kms out of alice before he over heated, a group meating was called and a unanimous decision was concluded to drive him off a nieghbouring cliff. RIP Gus.
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! Thats so sad.
Do you have any pictures? heehee.
I can’t believe it. I’m gutted. Poor GUS!
NEWS FLASH!
Gus was seen alive and well in Dulwich in Adelaide today. Megan was shown a photograph of Gus when a work colleague of hers recognized the Shitbox Rally sticker and took a shot on his mobile phone. Unfortunately, he can’t figure out how to share the photo from his mobile so that we can put it up for all to see. This however leaves a burning question, if it wasn’t Gus that went over a cliff, which shitbox was it??
I’m very glad to hear Gus is alive. Keep an eye out for him and take a photo of him if you can. I wonder who was sent off the cliff? Ben Riggs we need photos or a description?
It wasn’t Gus – Who was it Ben, Who have you mistreated and why?
Keep posting stuff like this i really like it
Great post!
