or the "fish bowl" style as in the grey one in spotto (we need a yuk or vomit emoticon :lol: ) :twisted:

Hi Dave,

You are a champ! Thanks for googling that up as I was at work on night shift and didn't get a chance. I was going to look it up today... :oops: :)

Regarding the ute..lol apparently Steve does have a few and unless ratbox is going to lend me some moula then I am sorry to say that Happy Husband has to settle for this unbearable Grey Hydra for now :cry: :cry: .......NOT!!! :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D
Nah, look I'm over the moon with this great opportunity to own such a fine piece of Holden motoring,something I have always wanted since 15yrs old I'm now 35 8) I sort of don't want to drive her at all!!

How's your ute going?. Any new developments mate??

Cheers,

Han.

You'll miss out on the best part of owning an early. I enjoy getting in mine everyday, makes the drive home from work sooooo much nicer.

Yes, I know but it would hurt seeing the mileage creep up though... :shock:
I will keep her dry and only drive on beautiful sunnny days. She's probably only gonna go out 2 to 3 times in a year and on short runs 8) :D
My best mate has a beautifully restored 64 EH,so we will both take the girls out together and hopefully the wives won't be too jealous :lol: :wink:

You not taking it to Narrandera then?

Why limit driving it to 2 or 3 times a year, it's about time that car got enjoyed and driven, like it was made to do :?

Trev,

I am undecided as to whether or not ill take her up. I still need to fly to Sydney in order to meet Steve, and view the car :wink:
Flying up around mid April, can't wait!!..
I am not driving it often because of the low miliage and condition.

If I wanted a daily driver i'd be buying a cheaper car to cruise in,maybe in the future 8)

Cheers,

StealthEK

Thanks for the input, but no I wouldn't do such thing to any car. That's just me though. Besides, this car has too good of a history to tarnish it :wink:

Cheers,
