Onya Blacky,

Thanks for the pics, looks like you have squeezed quite a bit in along the way. Good to meet yourself & Mrs Blacky the other night. I see a big hammer in operation during the car park capers changing the timing gear. Those things never seem to fail at a convenient time or place :thumbsdown: Safe travels.

Regards
Stephen

Mind boggling array of cars. Couple of familiar ones, FJ Wally’s ute, D-man’s sedan! Where has he been?

Is that Craig’s ute with the full canopy. I’ve seen a couple of those canopy’s around recently.

If you’re coming back through the Riverland I thought of a place you must visit. Graham and Kiwi Tyler’s workshop at Monash.

I've decided to make the run up to Mudgee on Sunday morning 4 hr trip and attend the Dinner on Sunday night.

Looking at the cars attending so far it should be a inspirational day and night.

Sweet mate , call me when you get here - 04 1960 61 62 😎
Sorry Blacky

I didn't see this until I got home yesterday.

There was to much going on during the 4 hours I was there drooling!! The dinner was taken up by a couple of people I hadn't seen in ages so you missed out buddy !!!

Anyway what a blast, 132 cars and a hell of a lot to look at modified and original. Next year at Toowoomba so that's on my radar for an entry.
So some more photos if you don't mind me posting in this thread.
