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!

I'm heading north to Sydney with my prints, so I can place a few travelers on the way
Dropped but already gone.
Thanks for the moveable.

I've recollected this in preparation for an interstate Prisoner Exchange Program that will occur in the next week or so
Found it but the log book was missing. hopefully the next person to find it has a logsheet to put in there we didn't as this caching run was a last minute decision. TFTC.
On a lunch time cache hunt in Callum Brae with cantanga; we saw a red speed machine but no log (cantanga took a photo) admired it but didn't move it. thanks OldSaint
Discovered in the hands of Goldenwattle in a friendly neighborly exchange. Very cool. She will move them on soon. TFTC!

I was hoping to move this a bit further, but shortly after collecting them, my car developed some issues. D'oh.
This one happened to come past me, so I took the opportunity to grab a find. Still find current holder.

#GA873 - 20:00; Headed off after getting a message that a new posse of moveables was in town. Looks like I was second to arrive as I managed to grab two of the six I was expecting. TFTC OldSaint

I finally did it! I remembered to bring the car on a trip AND remembered I had it with me and dropped it off somewhere. Finally. So sorry its taken so long.
Took RED to visit the Dubbo Bygone/Local Legends event yesterday. No one picked it up so I will move it on asap.
I discovered this on my doorstep. The things that show up there keep changing! It remains in No Tomorrow's care.
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.

A virtual move as I crossed the border. Lightning Ridge is down the road so every likelihood that's where this will go.
Camping at Campwin Beach but now heading south as to warm up here. 26 degrees in Winter is ridiculous.
A virtual move only to assign State so don't look here. The GA number difficult to define & buggy has faded - or - I have some other buggy. Anyway heading further north.
Signed this one while in attendance to the QLD Oz Mega in Stanthorpe. Thanks for sharing and good luck on your travels A RED Speed Machine.

Well well well look what I found in my loquat tree. If you are happy with me hanging on to him for a while he can come to the Mega with us at Easter
Too long in one spot. Relocated to Bendigo to visit a well known tree.
Dropped off at a new home for a while.
If it's still there in a few weeks I'll move it further south.

Dropped off at this regular moving cache depot.

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.
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 has found this little hidey hole, not far from the little side track.
A RED Speed Machine has come back to haunt me, time to take it a long way away so it will not come back!

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.
A RED Speed Machine has had enough of this spot and is now on its way to a local geocacher for a visit.

Red Speed Machine has managed to escape from the depredations of the Federales and is still in place at home.
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.....

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!

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.

Dropped off on the last day of a work trip to Macquarie University - that is, if playing with LEGO robots for three days counts as work!
Collected on the way back home after visiting Tasmania's answer to the Great Wall of China
Red ones go faster, so goodness knows where this one will end up.
The Red Speed Machine took a short speedy trip to another beachside hideaway.
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!

The Red Speed Machine is out again and ready to play
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
Cheers OldSaint
