I believe that Mr westlake, Captain Jackson, Dr Dave68, Oh and sir stewart would of had cameras ticking all day, so devilrod try and send them a pm to hurry up, im waiting for them too.

My wife didnt come, so i decided not to take those crappy photos that i normally take, and leave it to the paparazzi that generally do an awsome job.

Ross and Viv Clancy...did I hear your names being read out for a trophy?

John Reed's custom pulled a crowd all day...and took home a trophy...well done!

Great pictures Stewart, Was a great day .Met heaps of people from the forum and caught up with the club members again.And what would a trip away from home be without one of our cars having Generator/alternator problems

..Thanks everyone who helped me over the weekend with spare parts and "PUSHING" with the van. Cheers Mark P.S

Awesome pics Stewart

another great day out, good to have a yak with my fellow fb/ek'rs.
oh and a great sausage sizzle

we sat by our car until 4.30, my young fella was asleep in his pram (all holdened out

) and then I saw mini in his van only just driving down the side road

I only spoke to him an hour an 20 minutes earlier as he was still driving out in the line

......... what a wait to get out.

when we left they came up to everyone on our line and said that the side gate was now open, and we drove straight out.

cheers Rob

Good to see you again Bev...

Is this EK Dreamer Bev? Sorry I didn't get to meet you! I took a photo of this car too 'cos she looks like Maybelleine's sister!! (the more sophisticated, older sister because she has better accessories!!)

Had a lovely day, although Maybelleine's brakes started complaining when we were sitting in that traffic jam on the way in and we had to park and walk the rest of the way! But did you notice how polite and patient all the drivers were in the traffic chaos!? Holdens must bring out the best in everyone!!

Now I must confess to being rather impressed with those classic caravans...

...must ....have .....more .....toys......

Thanks stewart for the photos, as always, you have done a great job.

DNA.. the tripples i have had for a little while, someone on this forum had asked me about them, and wanted to see them so i dragged them up for them. The would look sweet on a going grey motor.

mark for a day with a few dramas it was pretty good, and the turn out for them almight fb's and the eks was positive, the van just wanted to stay longer.

Hey lolly is the second caravan "doris" who was attached to the fx convertble. If so, it belongs to a friend of mine, and has also given me ideas about them caravans.

If you get a copy of the 2009 calander by jenny sanders, a picture of reddo's old ek ute and his van matilda is displayed. May picture. Oh did i mention that a copy of this calander will be raffled off as part of next months sydney meeting raffle. Anyhow, its a great pic of a van and ek together.

Yes, that's Doris in the 2nd pic. (I remembered that point as Doris was the name of my Gran who had the EK Holden and set me on the path!!) The guy who owns her was lovely.

My 10 year old has a school function on the same night as the next meeting, so still won't be able to attend (!) -grrr.....

Was Jenny Sanders the lady who had her paintings for sale at the AHD?
