(...) Tim I thought those comments were a wee bit harsh mate as I too thought the $50 rego was a little extreme. We (BLTG) had a disscussion this weekend while we were at a train show at Sandgate and we came up with the figures of about $1000 plus (...) (18 years ago, 8-Mar-06, to lugnet.loc.au, FTX)

(...) Hi Peter, I agree my comment was rude and had it not been 2am for me when I wrote it I probably wouldn't have posted it but I will stand by the point because it was in response to something that was extremely rude.

(...) I've done a few sums, and I reckon I can do the weekend for about $500, so you may want to shop around. If Kerry's figures are correct, it may even be cheaper. Even at $500, $50 for registration is a relatively minor expense. Even without (...) (18 years ago, 8-Mar-06, to lugnet.loc.au, FTX)
