Another thanks from Rae and I to Brian for organising such a fantastic day. I think we were all impressed with the enthusiastic turnout!

It was great meeting so many of our new friends and especially amazing the effort some went to. CraigS wins the award for furthest travel (Turkey) while WGB (Perth) gets an honourable mention. Oscar wins the award for most driving on the day!

The drive up from Canberra in convoy was fantastic (thanks Oscar and SELfor50 too)!

Hey...  wait one bl**dy minute!

Look...  there at the end!

That's a damn I-tal-yun car next to a Limey flying BRICK!

GEEZ!

Couldn't you get ANYBODY else to give them parking?  There wasn't any room near the portapotty or the porno book store?

Ah yes, but the BRICK flies and the Fulvia handles  ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D
I think you must fly out and join us for our next outing; you may well enjoy it. :o

Did you ever get the DVD's to work Oscar?
No, not yet unfortunately.  But only from lack of trying.  I've been wanting to get a laptop to put all this stuff on plus I get preoccupied with the house which is nearing completion  I'm sooooo looking forward to having my shed back i want to also setup a cheap desktop in there with all the info i have on it.  Plus a net connection ;D  Thankgod for wireless.  I just realised the old phone line to the shed hasn't been reconnected and probably can't now. :o

Getting an appropriate venue and a carpark  is a little harder. I initially imagined we would have maybe 6 or 7 people and we ended up with 30
Fair enough BC.  And as for driving the SSII.  I can't find your post but a chauffeured ride around the block will do. ;D  But you mentioned "man of the spur" again and perhaps a few cryptic clues.  I dunno, was he at Bowral??

Ah well, the failure of the 450SE to proceed on the due date has been diagnosed as a faulty spark plug. Hmmm. Someone sure slipped up there. And no; 'twas not me.  :-X
The green limo is now back in fine fettle.

I think we had 8 or 9 w116's, 2xW1126's a Lancia and BC's Spirit.   Most brought partners and some brought other members.  Say about half were members.  15 or so.

BTW,  MOTS, Man of The Spur.  ::) I saw robgee's post the other day in BC's 450se for sale thread.  How slow am I?  Dont respond ;D It just never clicked.  It's taken me a few days to speak up and face my stupidity. :D

So what are you driving if I may ask?

The fact that I totally missed this post illustrates how badly misaligned my priorities are at the moment.

It looks like you guys had a great time.

Maybe next year...

Maybe sooner editjunk.
Sydney and Canberra concours are not far off, plus any other excuse anyone wants to dream up.

I will definitely be going to look, and would love to have Kermit on display, but he is in a very disappointing state. I think he would turn red with shame (or I would, at least  :-[ ).

I should make it to the sydney concours, when's the canberra concours???

Canberra is 14th October. 
For Sydney and Canberra, anyone can go but only members can display.  Canberra's is at Ronds Terrace or Ronds Point, same diff'.  It's amazing seeing pristine examples of a car you own let alone the scores of other models you wouldn't mind owning.
