I think if we managed to locate every W116 in Perth and if they all attended, we might have a chance  Grin

Hi all,

Well, sorry, I've had to pull out of the day, I've come down with a bad cold.  There is no meeting at the cafe this morning, the others heading directly to Rob's.

I am disappointed I can't make it but look doubly forward to next time.  Have a great day.

Regards,

Carl.

Saw your post just in time. It was my intention to go to the rendezvous point and say hello, but pike out of the run as I don't want to drive the car any distance with what presumably is a burnt valve or three.

I hope you recover soon Carl and another outing can be organised in the future.

Hi All,

Well the Melbourne Get Together has been and gone. A great day was had by all those who made it.

RobertD played the perfect host and is a fountain of knowledge. His shed was amazing and the amount of spare parts was mind boggling. It was a great opportunity to compare engine bays of the Euro 6.9 and the Aussie 6.9 and noting the differences. It was the first time I had a good look and a ride in a euro spec 6.9 and I was impressed.

Thanks to RobertD for a great and enjoyable day and to Carl Jones for organizing it.

Below are some pictures taken during the day:
