Description

Dark-blue Matchbox-style Super-Car Racer

Time for Tea - 83
Fat Lady with a Flea - 83
Ethel's Ear - 83

 

One of twenty on my entries into this year's CachingGames Bingo moveable cache race.

A cheap and cheerful Bingo racer of rather predictable (knock-off) Matchbox car + log container form. 

Please be careful opening this cache - do not pull/lever the toy car as it's of very dubious build quality!...  Instead hold the clear cache section and carefully open the lid using finger-nails under the rim (the tab is rather too flexible to be much help...)  Likewise, please close the cache gently to avoid damage too.  Thanks!

 

Rules (not guidelines) - a subset for cache finders:

  • Caches must be found and hidden by the same cacher (i.e. no mailing the cache to another cacher to hide)
  • There is no limit to the distance other cachers can move the cache
  • Other cachers in the game will find / move your cache, but they are requested to move it on within 2 days

 

Please hide the cache in a new position safe from muggles but not too hard for cachers to find - good coordinates and a good hint is vital!

 

Enjoy :-)

I dropped by here while on the way to work this morning to have a look for this one and its GCA neighbour, neither of which I've found yet. Strangely, it wasn't showing in Upoj Shocked (nor was its neighbour for that matter Mad ) even though I'd loaded all GCA caches in Victoria I haven't done only last night. Think

A quick access to the Web by phone solved that problem though and with a WP marked, I was off to GZ for the find at 09:15.

After signing the log, I replaced it in the same location for those playing any number of GCA games to find. Very Happy

TNLNSL. Thanks quiet1_au.

A break in the weather and an early day from work so finally a chance to drop off a few caches I've been carrying around for a while.
Thanks quiet1_au for the cache.

A quick find in the old collection spot on a lunchtime moveable cache run. A few workmen around but none interested in my visit. Two out, two in and with any luck a new dragonzone for Cerberus. Clan Cerberus
Thanks quiet1_au.

This cache has languished a little too long here so I've found it and moved it a little further south where someone will hopefully come along and move it again.

Dropped off in a location that I had to drop past today. Not too far from the last hide, but a move nonetheless.

Grabbed this cache on a quick arvo run while teaching the eldest to drive. Relocated and ready to find.

Ethel’s Ear has sat around too long.
Let's moved you on a little as a 'found and not moved log' tends to trick teams into thinking you are not there.
Cheers

How could I resist, c@w and GabGab tempting me with my first moveable finds for this year's race, so close to home. And seven caches so close to each other! I don't have time to move and re-hide them, so signed the log and left them here for the next finders. Cheers!

Went back to move this one. Long time since previously found, so perhaps a new location might help move it along.
 
06-Jan-14
Dancing Quite an easy find. Co ordinates were pretty much spot on. Sorry did not move it, so it is still there to find.
 
30-Jan-13
I tried to find this elusive little racer today Smile
A thorough search revealed nothing though Shocked
Petty sure I found the place described in the clue, but no racer Confused
Maybe it is smaller than I think and I just missed it ?

One popped up overnight close to work so ducked out at lunchtime for a quick grab. This is one of three replacements about 5 mins later when the spot I had in mind wasn't as good. Happy travels.
