Thanks Guys,
Tracy and I love road trips. Done 5 in the USA.

Bill & Ann, Nick & Dave, Tracy and I were happy to stop on the way and make the journey an adventure rather than belting through. Jeff & Gerard were with us on a fair part of the way home.

Jeff is a character, he would belt ahead of us so he could turn off the highway and go through each town waving and tooting his horn at locals - then catch up to us.

cheers!

Sawtell Road Trip -


Hit the road next year guys! The road is calling you and your lovely car!

Great pics Paul,dunno how you had time to take them all
The whole Nationals experience starts when you plant your arse in the seat leaving home and ends when you get back.
Pity about the rain as i didn't get to catch up with those that i wanted to but i wreckon everyone had a great time thanks to Tim and the Queensland crew
I was originally going to cruise up alone but was glad to travel with a great bunch of like minded enthusiasts. Ann and I really had a great time
I gotta say i felt a bit out of place driving an EK all that distance and a pink one at that, would have liked driving an FB, but i don't think the Rat would have been up to it
Thanks for the memories Paul, Tracy, Nick,David, Jeff and Gerard.It was a blast.
Roll on Mt Gambier

Thanks for your comments on Sheridan's EK Dave. Had a great and stressful time trying to finish it for her wedding.
Gotta say I'm pretty pleased the way it turned out seeing it was a practice car
Now if i can only get the Standard ready for 2012

GR8 pics Paul! Concur with all of the above comments regarding the nats - especially with the holiday starting upon getting into the car at home and finishing when getting out of the car upon return.

For me, too much driving of a ''twin fin'' is not enough! Probably because I feel in "'holiday mode'' irrespective of the destination.................. and irrespective of the weather! Have lost count of the number of trips to "anywhere'' just to get that holiday feeling with the vent window open, elbow on the door and Buddy Holly/Crash Craddock/Johnny Kid & the Pirates etc doing their thing. Who can relate to that?

Me!!! 'cept its every day I drive to work... Best way to relax after a shite day at work is jumping in the EK cracking the vent window trundling home in peak hour traffic.

Great pics Paul thanks for putting them up.

Thanks Devilrod.
Yes, you can't beat an old car to take you too another place with your mood. We love 'em - that's why we have them

I used to use my 60''s custom quite a bit as a daily driver in the 90's. I used to take the spinner caps off though as I didn't want them knicked as I parked in a carpark. Regret selling her now -but the 50's US car bug bit again

cheers

That car now lives in Kalgoorlie

Love to buy it back off him Blacky! Although every EK I have sold was in great Nick. When I see them again, they're stuffed!

I know he hit a 'roo in it and totalled the left guard, he was trying to get someone to repair the paint when I left town , have lost contact with him now ....
