they're in narranderra so i don't think too much of a drive for you

would you like the roof cut off completely

or the "fish bowl" style as in the grey one in spotto (we need a yuk or vomit emoticon

)

seriously for such a basic colour scheme that's a really nice one

Jesus ratbox!! Is that a compliment from you Sir??

joking

Thank you everyone.
If Narranderra is not too far from Melbourne then I might just try to make it too!!
Did someone say it's only 3hours from Melb??

Cheers guys,

Han.

Here you go Stealth. Narrandera is only a broken timing gear away, lol!

This is what Google shows - easy;

Driving directions to Narrandera NSW
435 km – about 5 hours 39 mins

Now you have the car "happy wife" wanted when is happy husband going to buy the ute he was after and be even happier ? - SJ would be 'happy' to sell you one I am sure...........he's got heaps, lol

Hi Dave,

You are a champ! Thanks for googling that up as I was at work on night shift and didn't get a chance. I was going to look it up today...

Regarding the ute..lol apparently Steve does have a few and unless ratbox is going to lend me some moula then I am sorry to say that Happy Husband has to settle for this unbearable Grey Hydra for now

.......NOT!!!

Nah, look I'm over the moon with this great opportunity to own such a fine piece of Holden motoring,something I have always wanted since 15yrs old I'm now 35

I sort of don't want to drive her at all!!

How's your ute going?. Any new developments mate??

Cheers,

Han.

You'll miss out on the best part of owning an early. I enjoy getting in mine everyday, makes the drive home from work sooooo much nicer.

Yes, I know but it would hurt seeing the mileage creep up though...

I will keep her dry and only drive on beautiful sunnny days. She's probably only gonna go out 2 to 3 times in a year and on short runs

My best mate has a beautifully restored 64 EH,so we will both take the girls out together and hopefully the wives won't be too jealous

You not taking it to Narrandera then?

Why limit driving it to 2 or 3 times a year, it's about time that car got enjoyed and driven, like it was made to do

you could always cheat and have two speedo's

i personally don't like the idea but i'm sure it wouldn't be the first time its been done.

Trev,

I am undecided as to whether or not ill take her up. I still need to fly to Sydney in order to meet Steve, and view the car

Flying up around mid April, can't wait!!..
I am not driving it often because of the low miliage and condition.

If I wanted a daily driver i'd be buying a cheaper car to cruise in,maybe in the future

Cheers,

StealthEK

Thanks for the input, but no I wouldn't do such thing to any car. That's just me though. Besides, this car has too good of a history to tarnish it

Cheers,
