Along the lines of -
"Where in the world is Carmen Sandiego?"
And after the stunning success of -
"Where in the world is Chantel Hewitt?" Of which I was the undisputed winner.
I am proposing a game of -
"Where in the world is Rob's Rocket?"
For round one a few clues - I sent a rather large cheque to RTR today as the final payment for my Rocket Kit.
(This cheque was accompanyed by a note stating that now the ransom money had been paid Paul was to release my baby from hostage.)
Rules for WINTW
Competitors are to estimate the kits location on Saturday of each week and points will be given out for the closest verifiable answer.
Double points for the correct date of entry into New Zealand.
Triple points for the correct date of entry in my garage.
Points awarded will be completely at my discretion and in the case of a tie the rules used to determine a winner in the radio game "Mornington Cresent" shall be used.
Oh, am I excited? you bet I am ;D

Showing his ever competitive streak Madeye Paul is first out the gate with an opening bid.
To mark this milestone I opened a celibratory can of mushy peas, sat down to a plate of fish and chips and watched Coro, life is good.

Staying on the morning crescent theme.... this saturday you rocket will still be at morning crescent ala rtr ... (cheque not cleared yet) and maybe next sat will be the same, ..based on bank and working days...  tuesday M1, M6, M40,M25, southampton. Will rethink if there suddenly appears to be road block due to over crowding on the sliproad due to kiwi having picnic on hard shoulder waiting for photo of prize posession passing by. Do not pass go return to prison. |

Do not pass go return to prison. You are thinking of Monopoly here, not Mornginton Cresent. Mornginton Cresent was on the radio show I'm Sorry I Haven't A Clue. I should also be noted that round one is to be decided under Bovington Rules. |

So after round one closes the judges have met and split decision had to be sorted by consultation with the video ref. It was finally decided after a full and fair hearing that equal points of eight each should go to Madeye Paul and stevieboy. The kit is still at RTR but NOT in a box ( - 2 points for that Paul ) it will be boxed by the freighting company. It has not left due to lack of funds clearance ( - 2 points stevieboy ) - the funds left my account lunchtime and were cleared and in the RTR account that evening !!!!! Hopefully it is being shifted this week so the question is - where will it be by the end of next weekend. So gentlemen Round two is now open. By the way Paul yo were right it is not leaving by air - did get a price though  |

I bet the box is now heading south to the docks,getting on a boat then maybe only going partway then catching a train . Upney via Archway to West Finchley to Whitechapel via Westminster to Moor Park via White City back to mornington cresent. |

It may be prudent to withdraw your latest bid stevieboy. For the wrong reasons you were warmer in an earlier post  However on second thoughts - For the wrong reasons you were warmer in an earlier post  |

I bet its still at mornington cresent maybe then sent for container loading, then will be despatched once the boat has arrived. Will it have to be loaded upside down, so its right way up when it gets there  |

Will it have to be loaded upside down, so its right way up when it gets there And another win for Stevieboy. Yes it is still at RTR Have a photo, it is next to the roller door at the back to be specific. Apparently a few critical parts "failed to turn up"  However in the mean time the engine is being hot run and mapped bt Omex ;D So bad news and good news. So badly want to move on though. |

tuesday M1, M6, M40,M25, southampton.
