Looks like a bit of a rough trip home! Thanks for the pics and good to see you had fun even with all the bumps.

What was it that went bang on the return trip?
That looks as it could have been a scary moment

Great to see you and the gang enjoy your first nats,
I hope its the start of attending many more.

Cheers
Jeff

Cheers Thommo, It was the bumpy roads through the coorong....vibrated all the wheel nuts off.
I know I put them on tight....when I rebuilt the front end. We managed to fix it with some parts from Pete and Trish's blue EK.

We are booked in for the next Nats....we couldn't get into the Gateway....got a cabin in a local caravan park.
Not sure if I am game to drive the wagon or tow it....lol
