Well I'm back home in cold old Termeil.. after the winter warmth of sunny Queensland (Brisbane area that is)..
So here are a few happy snaps taken on my pilgimage of steel...

Firstly it was a rather long day leaving home at 4.45 am to get the EK up to Pete's in the Blue Mountains (thank's again Pete & Kim




Next day (Friday) after I saw Tony & Fi off to work I went out to capture a few picks of Tony's FB...


Since I had the use of Fiona's XY?

I think Falcon I took a drive over to Paul Kelly's and say hello...stayed there for a few hours then back to Tony & Fi's just in time to see Tony driving in the Driveway in His beloved Tank.

After a bit of late lunch Tony showed me his vast range of car's 'n' bits then pulled out his Dad's old Honda Z50j "fishing bike" so I could have a test blast on it. Now this bike was new in 1975 and only has 90 miles on the clock!!! Tony always wanted to ride it as a kid but his Dad never let him until this year he gave it to Tony (Onya Peter.


Well not long after I started the little machine, it started to cough 'n' splutter so it was on top of the BBQ for a check on the small carbie..

It turned out that the 1975 air filter had disintergrated and the carbie sucked in what was left of it (a fine granulted foam grit) so after a clean & blow out with the compressor & another home-made air filter it was going again..


(note: the fine riding style,





After being a big kid it was off to Tim's place to see his new Black FB standard, got there just in timeto see Tim replacing the flat tyres with his rare set of "Pink-walls" so it could roll into his shed for it's long road back to the living. It really IS as rust free as he says it is! Great score Timbo!

By this time the sun was setting and it was out to Brodie's Chicken shop to get some roast chicken for Fi..(funny thing is they had run out of chicken




If you hav'nt seen the Brisbane car scene before it's a culture shock..just about everything is here from rods, customs, classics, resto's, Zimm-mobiles, rustbuckets & everything else in between..all parked or cruising by and very few (if any dickheads), a great night out for a feed and look around.
Here are a few shots I took..(note: I'm no photographer & quite a few shots are blurry..half by my bloody hand tremours and just plain bad techineque!! ).

















...more to come... just have to up-load more..
stay tuned..
Scotty.
