Hi Steve,

Thanks again to yourself & Wayne for taking the time out of a busy day to show me some of your cars :thumbsup: It was better than any museum I've ever been to :lol:

The two freshly painted FB's were just stunning.

The cars I enjoyed looking at most though were the 'originals' complete with all the blemishes and character that comes with 50-odd years of existence (bit like when I look in the mirror in the morning :lol: :lol: :lol: ).

So...Alan's choice for best car of the day...drum-roll...and the winner is...by unanimous decision...the Cropper-Creek Ute :clap:

:arrow: :D

Got to love the ole "Red Eye" hopefully you got some sleep before the flight back.

It was great to finally meet you! Enjoyed your company.

Hope you liked you six new FB-EK Holdens !!! :lol:

I love the Croppa Creek too! Glad you do.

Try find a ute with mostly factory paint :shock:

Thank you,

Steve

:lol: :lol: :lol:

I was only talking about Steve's cars 8)

But seriously, although the 9000 miler is a great car I'd be hard pressed to choose between it and the ute. The ute is probably the better looking of the two. I'd love to acquire it one day but my wife has reminded me about our mortgage....d'oh! :roll: And I think Steve would rather chop off his todger than part with the ute :shock:
