SA club Mintaro cruise 2024

Post by Errol62 »

Stunning autumn day and solid turnout made for a great day, as we meandered our way up the old main north road, to the Magpie and Stump Hotel this morning.

Pit stop and rendezvous at Perrys Roadhouse, Roseworthy:Image
Twelve cars turned out, along with 23 members and friends.ImageImageImage

ImageRoger and Mitche got waylaid, but only temporarily, thanks to the assistance of a couple of friendly local enthusiasts.

Tina and Nick's nicely restored EK Special. I'm guessing snowcrest white over tartan turquoise.Image

Thanks for posting the pic's Clay.
As I was coming into Auburn, I carefully applied the brakes to slow down. The pedal went straight to the floor.
No real drama, just pull over and stop with the parking break.
Rolled under and the right hand hard brake line broken, bugger I said. :oops:
A young local fellow walking by said if you need a workshop follow me.
Nice big workshop at Leasingham 5 ks up the road, were he made up a new line but I buggered up the male fitting into the caliper.
He then found a HR dics caliper and gave me the hard line off of it

Fitted, bled the line and all good to go and would not that any payment.
You just have to love country people who appreciate old Holdens.
PS - I'm making a couple of new lines to take on the drive to WA.
There is a right way and a wrong way and then there is my way which is usually the long way.

There’s still some good people out there 👍👍👍
When you're faced with an unpleasant task that you really don't want to do, sometimes you just have to dig deep down inside and somehow find the patience to wait for someone else to do it for you.

When you've made them, you could always fit them. Just a thought......
