Description

If yours is designed like this one, Cheesy's Transport would never catch you!

Modifications to this machine are not allowed.

This is my second entry in the BINGO race for 2012-2013.

Enthusiasts of certain forms of transport would love to own one like this.

If you have a machine like this, I'm envious!

Please take the time to keep this machine moving and don't let Cheesy's transport catch you going over the limit if your machine can perform like this one! 

OldSaint wishes you all a MERRY CHRISTMAS and a SAFE & HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Good luck to all participants in this year's BINGO!!

Thanks Trekkers
Sorry you looked for so long
It's sad that some cachers don't seem to take enough time to hide moveables well enough for them to NOT disappear
Keep travelling safe
Cheers OldSaint

Searched all trees in the surrounding area but no sign of Red Speed Machine. Sorry to report his demise OldSaint.

I was disappointed not to find this one. I had the Thin Yellow Man in my bag, ready to swap one Old Saint cache for another. The hide was behind a tree at a rest area, quite close to the road. OK for a short time but not for over a year, especially with a GC cache behind the next tree along. I scratched the leaf litter back to soil around the tree at GZ and also checked out a couple of trees in each direction out. Hunting about, I was surprised to find a GC cache behind a tree. I don't normally look for these but who can refuse low hanging fruit?
I'm not very hopeful about the Red Speed Machine. Could still be there but I doubt it. In the circumstances, I didn't leave the Yellow Man. Then it started raining so he had a nice drive to NSW and back and has still to be hidden!

No log with this moveable
Cheers and thanks
OldSaint.
 
Should this moveable have a log book? Looked in obvious place, undoing the nearly worn out screw. Nothing there. Shall i place a new log sheet in it?
 
Picked up A RED Speed Machine whilst out on a much needed drive getting out of the house. After getting my feet soaked getting to it, I felt quite uncreative and, instead of placing another moveable in a unique location, I left it here in the car's place.

Will move on south this weekend.

Hmmm, I moved this last week and logged it that night but the log hasn't stuck. Took this to Melbourne and after working nearby had some time for a walk and a few finds, as well as dropping 2 moveables. Anyway a pleasant stroll to the headland and found this nice spot to leave this for another finder. Should be an obvious spot.
 
18-Oct-14
Starting the day on 4995 total finds, I wanted to go and find 4 easy caches before getting a nice old one for the milestone. A couple of movables had turned up near home so I decided to grab those as the first two as they were fairly close together. Some chance of a Melbourne overnight trip for work in the next week or two so I might hang on to them until I know if I can give them a bit of distance. Thanks OldSaint.

A RED Speed Machine is now in Leura for a visit, but don't despair it should be on its way soon. Don't bother looking it is already gone.

Dancing Red Speed Machine has managed to escape from the depredations of the Federales and is still in place at home.
 
08-Jul-13
Headed off with Albida and Mtrax for (another) visit to the Gnome Gnation to see a few new residents. Although word on the way established a few had already taken off for greener, yet colder, pastures, we continued with our plan and still managed to catch up with quite a few of the recent arrivals.

Our plan this time was not a mass round up, but that doesn't mean future trips wont include a complete clean out. Time, and re-enforcements, will dictate future retrieval missions.

Thanks for this one.....
 
08-Jul-13
Blue Mountains GCA trip with Sol de Lune and Mtrax. We headed off to visit the Gnome Gnation area on Mt Piddington. We had some bad news on the way up that several had been retrieved yesterday, but we persisted and I managed to find 13 moveables, two GA Trads and two Trigs. The area up here is amazing. Dense bush opening out onto huge vistas and quite a bit of clambering to get to some as well. A great day, but now I have to chase a pile more locally. Thanks

800 GCA Caches!!!

Left where it was!

The ninth of twelve movables found at Mt Piddington today.

Another fairly steady bush bash to the obvious rock where my youngest spotted it rather quickly, luckily!

TFTC.

It was a bit of a squeeze with all of us out at this rock outcrop, so it was lucky that the junior Canary found the cache quickly.

Left for the next finder.

A RED Speed Machine has joined with a group of disenchanted Gnomes in the occupation of this tract of land, the aim being to secede from Australia and create their own independent country.
However with Gnomes in charge this may turn into a dictatorship, it remains to see if emmigration is greater than immigration.

A RED Speed Machine has joined a mass exodus of moveables led by renegade Gnomes, who knows what they plan to do? They are all in hiding for now while hatching their nefarious plans. No point looking for any of them they are nowhere to be found until they are ready to reveal their ultimate goal.

The Red Speed Machine took a short speedy trip to another beachside hideaway.
 
10-Dec-12
Arrived at GZ and there were muggles parked right next to the cache, including a little kid playing around the platform. Being a nice sunny day we went for a stroll on the beach; the tide was way out so we found some interesting rock pools to peer at for awhile before returning, but the muggles were still there. Nothing else to do but go find some other caches and come back 15 mins later... finally they were gone and we were able to nab this one in peace! Thanks for the racer!

I was just reminded by nutwood that other cachers are relying on this cache for their Bingo tickets.
My very personal reasons for archiving this cache are not greater than the whole.
Thanks nutwood for your request and glad to comply with your request
