Brisbane Convoy for Kids

After sitting at Team Booger Mobile HQ in the shed for a week, it was time to dust off Booger Mobile to be invited guest at the Brisbane Convoy for Kids truck convoy.


Cleaning, cleaning...


There was mud EVERYWHERE!!  And the rest of the car was covered in a fine film of red mud...


See the colour difference?


As per usual, Damian had his two helpers, and Tricia was snapping pics...


Got to ensure all sponsor stickers get a look in!!


Starting to look clean now!!


More cleaning...


And more...


And still more!!


Time for a hose off...  some of the water even went onto the car!!


Damian arrived before any other Camp Quality representatives and parked near the portable gazebo.


Time for more piccies!!


Booger's LED lights were flashing - sometimes it was overcast enough to see them, sometimes not!


The road directly in front is where the truck convoy will enter from!!


The crowd started to gather as the utes heralded the arrival of the truck convoy...


More utes...


And finally, the first truck through the gates!  The generous owner of this rig donated an incredible THIRTY-ONE THOUSAND DOLLARS to lead the truck convoy!!


There were some spectacular rigs...


Some interesting rigs...


Some highly customised and airbrushed...


And Tony in car 808!!


Damian had moved Booger Mobile out a little so the trucks had a clearer view - Tony parked beside Booger Mobile hoping some of the shine would rub off on his!!


Finally after over 300 trucks had passed through, the convoy had finished!!


Booger Mobile and car 808 looked a little lonely then...


Not to worry, the booze bus would keep them company!!


The stage was set...  later in the evening there would be bands and partying, but Damian wouldn't be there for that!


This ute was quite spectacular, but was clearly tired, sitting on the grass...


The trucks made a magnificent sight, and throughout the day the crowd trickled in.


Damian had to head off by mid afternoon, having flown the Camp Quality flag with Booger Mobile.  Just for something different, he didn't see himself on the news that night!!

    Wow Booger Mobile was really dirty but with a lot of elbow grease, Damian and his two wonderful helpers,managed to get Booger Mobile all spick and span,ready to support the convoy on it way.Lucky Damian has his lovely wife Tricia to take some fantastic pictures.
    As always Damian an Booger Mobile arrived early and were able to pick a spot to watch the "MIGHTY BIG RIGS DRIVE PASS" Tony and car 808 arrived and parked next to the Booger Mobile.(Booger said to car 808 aren t you the one who stole my blog,and they had a good laugh together)Then all the mighty rigs rolled by one by one to go and line up for everyone too see.
    What a proud moment for Damian and the Booger Mobile to be there.
    Well done Damian Thank you for everything you have done for Camp Quality.
