Big line up at Kaputar Ford!!
Damian took the opportunity to munch on a booger!!
On the way to scrutineering, Damian and Angus noticed that there was a strange scraping noise when turning left...
After jacking it up and checking, it turned out the wheel bearings were slightly loose, which is odd since they were fine at pre-scrutineering in August...
A quick tighten (both sides done) and Booger Mobile was playing nicely again!!
Lunch at Kaputar Ford put on by the Rotary Club of Narrabri!!
The afternoon was spent having a few quiet drinks, and helping some of the other teams with some minor running repairs on their cars...
Damian felt sorry for the owner of the white car in the foreground, being the only non-esCarpade car in the hotel!!
Also arriving were some Team Queensland stickers... one for the front...
And one for the back!!
Damian and Angus ready for the driver's briefing...
Still a few spare seats...
Feeling welcome!!
A snappy selfie with the lovely Louise who will be in the Mario and Luigi car (as Luigi) with her husband James!!
Susan really should stand up when giving the briefing...
Damian and his good mate Giggle!!
Arty farty shot of some wine glasses...
Plenty of esCarpadians enjoying some pre-dinner (or is that post-driver's-briefing) drinks and canapes!!
Feeling officially welcome now!!
Paul on the left, with Damian and Angus...
Paul had driven up around 300km to meet up with Damian and check out Booger Mobile... decided he would stay for dinner also!!
The official speeches commence...
Packed room!!
Kylie, the Camp Quality Puppet!!
Kylie and her good friend Deano chatting to the esCarpadians...
Tonight's moving Camp Quality family talk was by the team from Courageous Corey...
Ben doing his official bit!!
Handing out 5, 10, 15 and one 20 year award!!
The dinner venue, farewelling the boys as they headed back to the motel room for a sleep.
So Booger Mobile is going well (touch wood), and the boys are feeling well rested and excited to see what the next bit of the esCarpade will have in store for them...
Tune in tomorrow to find out!!
