Hi Steve,
Thanks again to yourself & Wayne for taking the time out of a busy day to show me some of your cars
It was better than any museum I've ever been to
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
).
So...Alan's choice for best car of the day...drum-roll...and the winner is...by unanimous decision...the Cropper-Creek Ute

I was only talking about Steve's cars
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!
