Welcome to the forum TDEK,
where in melb are you roughly located?
We have members from each direction and would love to have you join in our folly...............

I have found a much more fulfilled enjoyment of my old bus since meeting up and joining in with our club in 2001................

You may wish to pay us a visit and give us the opportunity to share your pride with you..............

No impetus to join, love to welcome visitors on every occasion they choose to stroll along.

I am in outer eastern subs (Lilydale/Mooroolbark) and am usually found within very close proximity of the dear old thing except when at work or in bed..................

Love to hear more of your story,

and again, welcome to the mad-house........

frats,
Rosco
