MAC CHAT:A thread to post anything and everything

[alexczarn]

Fished the rocks behind the Bluff Jetty today for a change...nothing special...except for some odd fish.

Here are some photos from today.











Also had a pilly out on ganged hooks for salmon/flatties/whatever...nothing took it.

Well, today a wonderful addition to my collection landed at the landing strip of YWOL, VH-VOZ! [img]smileys/smiley4.gif[/img] This model is outstanding, a true keeper this one! More and more am i becoming a loyal collector to Phoenix and their releases, just pure quality! The 773 is a colossal bird.

Also landed is another 773, the GJ Emirates "1000th 777". They have truly stepped up in quality GJ with this release. It looks outstanding as well. I will have to make a thread with my collection of T7's, i have over 12 now.

On a side note, I think i have struck gold with an AC TAA A300 from a seller in the UK, at a very reasonable price, unlike one i saw that sold on ebay for $260 a few weeks back [img]smileys/smiley3.gif[/img]. Just waiting on final mailing quotes. I will be delighted to finally have one in my collection. Will keep you guys posted on the final exchange of ownership!

Triple awesome news mate, would like to see photos!

nice catch there Alex, and cheers for the comments. Will make time in the next couple of weeks to take some piccies.

MAC has gone into a slumber as of late, where is everyone?!?! Olympics are done and dusted.

[Aviation Delight]

Good question. I know for me I have just been so busy with work. This is day 8 in a row for me. After today 2 days of in a row. Cannot wait for today to be over. It has also been a quiet time for releases.

Ok the Games are over and time for our community to get things up and firing again, been pretty quiet of late but understandably so, but we need to do a number of things here
1 encourage other members to join here
2 become more involved with the posts, show photos of model or real planes, or other collectables you may have
3 share your other hobbie/interests etc via Mac Chat or a relevant thread
4 enter the competitions provided here
5 don't become a lurker, be pro-active here
6 as a friendly forum, don't be shy to ask a question, If not sure, put it in what you think is an appropriate place and mod team can easily move it to a suitable place if need be
7 don't feel you will be humiliated if you ask a question, we have a strong silent rule here, we want MAC to be friendly, non judgemental, helpful and most of all, enjoyable!!!

Well said Steve, yes the Olympics had me gripped and been away with no internet or mobile connection... felt like the dark ages... anyway back now to catch up on everything

Hi everyone. Two days ago here in Mississauga, a foot was found at local park - yesterday, a woman's severed head was found and now today, 2 hands (left and right) were found. Mark &amp; I live just NW of this park and my mom lives just SE of this park - also, she walks here quite often! Police are going to be searching the park this weekend, trying to find more of the body. Cripes![img]smileys/smiley3.gif[/img][img]smileys/smiley11.gif[/img]

<div>Yup, I guess I'm hitting Waits(Waitpinga Beach, local surf fishing beach, only 10 minutes away or so!) pretty hard of now...it was a better day today than Friday. I'll let the photos do the talking.</div><div>
</div><div></div><div>Much better looking conditions than Friday. The top gutter(above the rocks in the middle of the photo) was perfect, but was fishless. The bottom gutter, next to the headland, on bottom of photo, held the fish in the evening. — at Waitpinga Beach.</div><div>

Nice catch Alex!

Hey guys, hows it all going? Just spent the weekend down in Rotorua with my closest friends and our partners. These are some pics from the Luge. A real thrill ride and must try for everyone. Not to mention beautiful views.

[Aviation Delight]

Sounds like you had a good time .

[Polynesian Airlines]

Yeah mate, it was epic. Hey saw your prev post mate - my mate and I want to go to Rio for the Olympics too.... dreaming at this stage but might start planning in the next year or so.

[MAC Admin]

Certainly having been at the London venues I can recommend the Olympic experience, amazing atmosphere and just generally everyone had a smile on their face! Looks pretty cool Jase!

[Guest]

That Luge ride looks pretty cool Jason!
Is that the place next to the hill-top restaurant that is accessed by cable cars?
My partner, Teal and I will be in Roto-Vegas over Christmas/New Year's and will be looking for things to do, so we will have to check it out! [img]smileys/smiley4.gif[/img]
We've got two NZ trips planned in the next 6-7 months.
Christmas and New Years in &amp; around Rotorua. Unfortunately the planned Chathams Island trip had to be scrubbed as Air Chathams don't fly their CV-580 over the Christmas/New Year's break. [img]smileys/smiley5.gif[/img]
Some other time for sure though.
Plus there is the Classic Fighters 2013 airshow in Blenheim over Easter.
Looks like an opportunity to get another Emirates A380 sector or two in! I'm hoping to swing an Air New Zealand 763W sector at some stage as well. [img]smileys/smiley2.gif[/img]
Any idea when Air New Zealand will be getting its first A320S?

Just watched Everton vs Man Utd our first game of the season and we managed to win 1-0 which has put a rather large smile on my face!
