I'm sure they're on their way. Nathan was well into the obligatory photography and films, I would say he's just busy.

Good to meet you guys yesterday and thanks to Bill for ferrying me around. Hopefully I'll have my car on the road again in time for the next get together.

Cheers,

Chris

Indeed. It was a great meet, even though there were only a few of us.

The drive up to Mundaring Weir was wonderful, the weather being perfect for such.

I was however, reminded of how urgent the fuel system of my 6,9 needs attention. There was, on one occasion considerable ping when I pulled an enthusiastic overtaking maneuver. Needless to say, there was no more of that.

Great run - pity everything I touched broke but at least I'll be getting a new seal in my hoist.

Bill

Certainly was a great day, always a pleasure to catch up with the crew  :)

Thanks Nathan for letting me drive 'Mohican', always great to get behind the wheel of a 6.9 and those wheels and tyres you have on her are a dream  8)

Thanks Bill for the crank shaft pulley off the old 450, cleaned up nicely for the Pot Belly black paint treatment  ;)

Can recommend the Guinness pie at the Mundaring Weir Pub  8)

Sad my 450 could not be there but parts on their way from Tom to get her back together again so still about two weeks away  :'(

Certainly looking forward to the 'bed in the parts run' to Busselton (if she starts).

Put the kettle on Burty  ;)

hi guys,
10 minutes to spare so some pics attached from a great day of weather.
disappointing turnout but this could be something to do with only 6 weeks notice. ???
great to meet a new wa 116er in chrisp, we shall look forward to again meeting with his car in the future.
good effort by Goldacre (minus car). WGB kindly offered his place as the final meeting point and the route was great. WGB, hope the boss got that oel out of your shirt!
attached are the pics. unfortunately i cocked up and left it on the wrong mode for the riverside shots so its too bright. didnt realise til we left the area.

The overexposure of the first few is easily transcended by the latter shots. ;) Most impressive indeed.
