If any are interested in the full size copies PM me your email and I'll send them. I know Stewart would love the shots of Brown Bear scrapping its sill panels coming out of forest elbow onto conrod straight. What a lean! Belinda even managed to get the sparks in the photo! Good driving Dave!
Hmmmm...Dave didn't mention anything about sparks in his version... :eh: ???

Would love any pics you can send me Craig.

Good to catch up with you guys. Loved your FB. Well done on picking up a trophy in a very compettitve field too. :thumbsup:

Thanks Stewart. Well done on your win too! Its still a great family story to go with the car. I didn't realise that you also had the Kodiak Brown Sedan for all that time too. Great stuff.
Can you PM me your email address so I can send you the full size images.
Cheers.

Well we got home in good time Tuesday arvo. It was an uneventful trip again but this time we saw 1 FB on the way as well as a bonus Austin Cambridge Special. The old boy wasn't going much faster than 50Mph and I don't know how he didn't get slammed up the ass by a truck.

I'm getting that way myself. Melbourne traffic shits me and we're 50km's away from the CBD! The urban sprawl is out of control.
Not long now and hopefully we have moved away from it.
