from what i saw of this years winners that can't be right

car shows are gay,never got them,did as a teen but entered in some,, ended up doing a skid(before the grey)
will bring my dunga to a meet in a year or so bitches probably on a $*#@ trailer,cous im as slack
as my hard $*#@ drive

Well said Tim, couldn't agree more

Yeah,Im looking forward to getting the ol girl on the road,and I love a challenge/adventure/drive I totally agree
Tim .I was angry thinking about past shows Ive been to,when people couldnt touch a car,they thought I was mad
when I said get in, dont stand next to it to have their photo taken

Yo....

Just rang Sawtell van Park and booked in for 2011 Nats.
They have dozens of powered sites left so if ya can beg borrow or steal a caravan .. or .. can handle tenting it in June then why not do that rather than stay out of town at some other accomdation??

Its a double whammy weekend for me up there next year.
I usualy take one of my old motorbikes to the bike rally which .. as you know by now is held at the same place each year and based at the van park.
I missed this year to go to Narrandera.
So..... i will throw the trailer on behind the FB Van and tow the bike up there next year. I am on a powered site so i will throw up one of those autotents to cook and party in, and sleep in the back of the panno ( again).

Go on the bike run saturday. Party with the FB/EK guys saturday night at either the bowlo or the Golf club.
Park the panno at the show and shine on sunday and dissapear for a ride for a few hours before lunch.
Come back to the cars after lunch for a few hours.

Big problem sunday night.!!
2 presentation dinners....at 2 different venues..... so much for the diet.

I enjoyed the pres night this year at Narrandera so i will stick with you guys on Sunday night.

Too many hobbys ...looking forward to the 4 or 5 hour drive in the van. As sooooooo many have said about the Nats..... Its not just about showing off your car... its about enjoying using it..... socialising with others who love the make and model.
Having a laugh and a beer.

See yas there
