QCar, T-Shirts and other stuff now available

You can now buy QCar merchandise!

The logo is now available on my Red Bubble site. There's a T-Shirt with a QCar logo emblazoned right across the front in a range of 25 colours and in sizes ranging from large to small for both sexes. There's also long sleeve, short sleeve, round neck, V-neck, hoodie and girlie fitted short sleeve available. There's also detailed information about sizing so you can buy with confidence.

The QCar logo is also available as a greeting card and a post card as well as a range of prints.

And the best part - 0% mark up. I usually charge a mark up on my artwork on Red Bubble but for the QCar stuff the mark up is nada, nicht, nein, nyet, negative, nothing.

But if you happen to buy some of my other work well . . . oh and please buy lots . . .





To buy you'll need to set up a Red Bubble account which is pretty easy to do and then follow the directions. I've bought stuff from the site several times and the stuff is of a really good quality.

Le Bush Rangierre (Oooh La La)

A big thank you to Le Carl and Le Ron for organising Le Sunday, April 18 run.

They have established a new high point in run organisation:
* prizes for costumes and best decorated car
* a CD of theme music to listen to while driving to the venue
* a quiz to do while waiting to order food
* a historic tour of Callington

And the Colt was truly an 'Arc De Triomphe' and a 'Cause De Celebre'.

"Mercy Buckets" guys!

Now to the photos below taken by Harvey . . .



The announcement of a Yoplait sculpture competition failed to excite most. However, Kay and Brett thought there might be merit in the plan . . . .



David: "If you tap it and rub it a bit it plays Maurice Chevalier's 'Thank Heaven for Little Girls' ".
Julie: "That is just so inappropriate".



Brendan tried using the 'if I smile at least I'll look nice on the internet strategy'. It worked!



Jason and Brenton discovered that Edith Piaf vocals could still be heard even if the 'doof, doof' sub woofer was turned up to (I hope you've all seen 'This Is Spinal Tap') '11'.



The smile says it all. Luckily the keys were not in the ignition . . .
Anyone seen "Gone in 60 Seconds" . . .



Sadly Brenton had pushed the self destruct button instead of the fold-roof-into-cavernous-boot button. Seconds later his Thunderbird was just a concertina of its former self - a veritable piano accordion of crinkles. Say La Vee . . .



Our guide for the historical walking tour of Callington was a bush ranger.



Anyone heard the story about the three bears?

Henri Le Conte

Some of you might remember this from the 80s . . . it's sung to a Piaf tune . . . the No Regrets thingy . . .


THE FRENCH SONG
piaf/louiguy(music sales/amcos)

these lyrics: Divishti Rankine & Greg Champion

Pate escargots soup de jour
cordon bleu chic coiffure
fait accompli maison
creme de menthe Marcel Marceau
meringue blancmange Bardot
gauche gay Paris garcon
gendarme agent provocateur
au de toilette voyeur
au revoir deja vu
carte blanche bidet croissant bourgeois
c’est la vie abattoir
bon voyage coup d’etat
hors d’ouevres Peugeot faux pas
Gerard Depardieux

Lacoste penache papier mache
en suite rue morgue yoplait
Pepe La Pew souffle
en tous cas le Guy Forget
Maurice Chevalier
le Rainbow Warrior
lingerie chocolat eclair
avant garde Frigidaire
fromage crouton Cointreau
cherchez la femme boudoir je t’aime
vol ou vent Jacques Cousteau
joie de vive Plastic Bertrand
le Coq Sportif penchant
Henri Leconte

Kay not pleased to be photographed, David looking away (perhaps if I don't look my image will not be captured) and me looking like a sleep deprivation victim. How do you say "Such is Life" in French?



Carl adjudicating as a good adjudicator should.



Carl being bribed as a good adjudicator likes to be . . .



Cogs whirring . . . Capital of Paris is Lebanon . . . Blancmange is make up . . . Chanel Number 5 runs parallel to the Seine . . . a baguette is Prada for handbag . . .



Arty fartsy shot from Robyn . . .



Hmmm "cutlets" . . .



Famous French erection on the table. So QCar.



"Allo. Allo. Can I sell you a perky, thick, naughtily angled French baguette mon ami?"

On Air

Rod and Harvey were interviewed on Radio 5UV. It was the Clipsal Weekend.

The Last Chance For A Lap Dance QCar Run

Through the Bambino's sunroof.


The Mini and the Colt


Brenton takes to the Mount Panorama, I mean the Paracombe circuit.


Everyone wanted a ride in the Thunderbird. And rightly so!


Room for a Pony Mrs Bucket? Perhaps not but still luxurious.


The Man. The Machine.

The Last Chance For A Lap Dance QCar Run

The Christmas Party

Once up on a time Rodderick Blanchard had a lovely little house on a suburban street with a big back yard. He decided to hold a party - a Christmas party.

"Who shall I hold a party for?" Rod asked himself. Thinking "yes" I shall use the shortened form of my very long name for the rest of this fairy tale.

"I could hold it for the car club I'm currently the King of He mused to himself or I could hold it for the curry dinner club people," he thought.

He then grabbed a glass of ruby red current juice and wandered into his big backyard with the lawn and nice roses.

On the lawn Rod noticed a frog. A big fat frog. The frog croaked and then jumped away out of our story.

Then Rod had a 'Eureka' moment. (Man in bath tub discovering the displacement of volume, not the stockade type Eureka moment.)

"I could hold the party for both the curry and the car people."

And so He did. He decorated his back yard in the finest fashion befitting the style of the season and everyone came along and they all had a lovely lovely time. And here's the pictures from it . . .


Now this is Rod's big back yard. Big enough to hold a little car and several thousand 'borrowed' signs. Isn't it pretty!


At the party people talked . . .


. . . they posed for photos and smiled politely . . .


. . . they pointed at things . . .


. . . and drank champagne because that is a stoffisticated party drink . . .


. . . and posed for photos a bit more . . .


. . . and wore silly head ornamentation . . .


. . . and wore marvellous magical cloaks . . .


. . . that held secrets only the initiated could understand . . .


. . . and people tried to decipher the meaning thereof . . .


. . . and the posing people got in another shot . . .


. . . and people stood around and chatted and didn't complain . . .


. . . and much information, gossip and inuendo was exchanged . . .


. . . and the camera hogs stood in front of the camera again . . .


. . . and Rod met a giant . . .


. . . a very cute, hunky sort of giant . . .


. . . and . . .


. . . people looked on . . .


. . . and some saw the hazards ahead . . .


. . . while other were distracted by chatter and magic . . .


. . . and then people looked at things . . .


. . . and Rod pointed . . .


. . . and people ate . . .


. . . and they stood around . . .


. . . and they ate . . .


. . . and sat . . .


. . . and sat . . .


. . . and decided to not go over 30 . . .


. . . and Rod made a fine speech in which he said many things . . .


. . . and then some people decided to get into a car all together at once . . .


. . . and then they got out again (some visiting the chiropractor the next day) . . .



. . . and then they toasted to good health and a happy 2010.

And everyone lived happily ever after.

The End.
