Brisbane / Mt Gravatt - NON 062 - White EK Sedan

So, while i was picking up a part from HobbyOne for my RC Drift car not thurs gone, but thurs before that.. i walked out the door and saw this sitting in the carpark..

I noticed it had an FB EK Car Club Of Queensland sticker on the back window. As i drove out in my HJ, i pulled up next to the owner and gave a thumbs up, and drove off. He was an older fella, and with the sticker, i'm assuming someone on here would know him for sure.

Thought I'd seen those "NON 062" number plates recently... at the Nats!!

Ah, i knew someone would recognise it.

I'm sure he'll remember me, just tell him the young kid driving the dark blue kingswood sedan at hobby one.

As far as the "old fella" term goes, maybe its just because i'm young but i wouldn't have thought that'd be offensive.

Would you prefer one of the following:

* Kodger
* Old Fart
* Old Man
* Wrinkley Old Man

Your right nick, I do have the EK Wagoon model that tony built. Tim, I think he was refering to the fact not that I had a Tank Fairlane!!

Thanks, Nick!! I'm killing myself laughing here!!

Tony, Pete (Space Ace) & I went to school together in the early 70's (that's the dark ages to you

).
Me being the stirrer of the three (Pete coming in a very close second) will treasure this 'Gem' of a thread.
Good thing I'm younger than the 'old' Tony (by 18 days) otherwise I too might be called an old codger as well...heaven forbid!

Scotty.

P.S. Tim...PLEASE make sure you and Brett keep this 'old fella' theme going when next you see Tony for me...MATE!!

I had a Red and White, Tank Fairlane.
Beautiful old car, 260 V8 with a hole in the exhaust and the firewall, that spat hot exhaust crap onto your leg every now and then.
Automatic headlight high beam dimmers and beautiful BIG fins on the back.
Don't have any photos if it.

Sold it to the wreckers at Boondall.
