Windy and drizzly drive around with lunch at Pt Vincent Kiosk. Camron and Charmein set the pace at 90 considering the guzzling blown 350 and price of fuel. Tina and Nick in their original restored EK225, Mike and Ann and Elle and me in our FB Ute's. Frances and Lenny wimped it in the Celica. Fortunately the rain held off and let us hunker down before dumping 15mm with remnant hail. Cameron put the cover on his nice paint but wasn't an issue.
Next morning, things have improved...

So we headed to Minlaton and Spogs junk shop, followed by the Watsacowie Brewery.The Edithburg Pub for lunch. Museum across the road had some interesting stuff including the passenger list of the Marion, on which Elle's dads forebears were foundered on nearby Troubridge Shoal in 1851.

Thanks for posting Clay. Photos indicate a relaxing time was had by all. Cars look great, as does the scenery.

Re: Stansbury cruise 2022
Elle and I were cacking ourselves when Cam out roll raced us on the way to Minlaton Sunday morning. Flat stick the ute was just starting to rev when the s/c350 beast flew past in a black haze, all tyres and fins....
Mike ran out of gas 10 km short of the edithburg pub for lunch. The ute gets fantastic mileage hauling a van with the stock 186 m20, 13" 165 85 and 3.55 diff at 70kmh, but revs it head off above 90.
In the morning nick's car had a squeak in the engine bay, eventually isolated to water pump bearing which got some WD40 and shut up.
Stopped at Ardrossan bakery for lunch, then scattered. We headed on the dirt from wild horse Plains through Mallala, Gawler, Williamstown, Littlehampton, Echunga an Kuitpo.
