How Many Zippers in Oz

Top Gunner14 · Post by **Top Gunner14** » Sun Aug 12, 2007 3:02 pm

I'm just wondering on how many zippers there are on our shores. These are all the ones i know of:

Bad Ass-Shorts
Young's-under refurbishment
Mean Mother-Johney Castle
Davis(blue cars, yellow spine)
Zacchini's
Wittingslow's ex(on there new website, they have one, is this true

)

Are there any others i've missed? And also with young's zipper, it won't be out for a while, my mate from school who's aunty is one of the boss' said they are refurbishing it themselves

Cheers

Yeh, i know that's all ur tellin' us. Look, i'm just confused cause a couple of other people are saying it's wittingslow's ex and that they sold it to Davis. All i'm asking is 4 the facts. And i was told by my mate who works with phelan that they owned that zipper.

are we most certain ZIPPER wont make a return to the melbourne show... since 2003.... PATHETIC!

princess · Post by **princess** » Thu Aug 16, 2007 8:40 am

sorry illusions, just my weird sense of humour, lol

Top Gunner14 · Post by **Top Gunner14** » Thu Aug 16, 2007 4:54 pm

So that zipper has had 4 owners. Ok, that's a bit suprising the zipper doesn't go to melbourne anymore either

HUSSRAINBOW · Post by **HUSSRAINBOW** » Thu Aug 16, 2007 7:33 pm

its cos of that stupid "small" accident, i wouldnt even call it that, at the 2003 show, apparently a door was loose or something... it was probably the stupid family of the girls that didnt want zipper back at the show... wreck our fun!

Poor Huss, maybe you need a lie down

Good on you Huss! I've been to every RES since 1983 and even made sure I flew home from overseas just so I could go, this despite me being in the States and surrounded by awesome rides and theme parks; I was missing the RES too much.

Shame bout the zopper in melb as i said. Shame u have 2 come up to sydney but sydney is a fun show. Also, who are the manufacturers of the zippers here in oz? These are the ones i know of:

Youngs-Chance
Short's-Chance
Davis'-Ferrari
Zacchini-UNKNOWN
Mean Mother-UNKNOWN

And with zacchini's zipper, what shows does it go to?

Top Gunner14 · Post by **Top Gunner14** » Tue Jul 22, 2008 8:23 am

No probs, also Dean Davis' model is a Ferrari too
