thanks you Mr S-Class
ladies and gentleman, 116 nutjobs,
 on this day of receiving such an award, i would like to thank my mother...

in the pic are the 3 current 6.9s
seriously though, there is only one other person slower to reach one thousand than I, and he is the architect of the site!
its always great to converse with people with similar interests on this site.  having met some interstaters and frequently meeting with the locals in WA, i look forward to meeting some east coasters when i move to Melbourne for 6 months next week. i will be driving over in our 123 for sake of the ozone layer.
regards
nathan
ps i will likely remove this silly picture very soon, so enjoy it while you can!

haha  LMAO.  So a thousand posts wins a golden hubcap! Love it!

Drive anything you like over to Melbourne.  Exhaust fumes blow over to New Zealand and they have heaps of trees.

Congratulations on the 1000 - Here's to Nathan who spends more time doing it than talking about it.

No, I don't think you owe me any hubcaps.  You've restored 2 6.9's within 1000 posts - Im yet to complete my first resto.

Yeah I've kinda given up trying to sell it.  With the recession, there's no way to get anywhere near a fair price, so I figured I'd hang onto it a bit.

Shipping to Sydney would be around the $3000 mark.

Hahah.. great pic, congrats on the milestone mate.

Damn straight in getting to the 1000 mark you've already brought several classics back to life.  Congrats!
