Flicking through the photo album and came accross the excellent W116 Forum get-together for Perth Western Australia back in April 2008 (yep, feels like it only happened yesterday)

Is there interest in getting our cars together again?

Hi nathan, i hear what your saying! i look back at the crap they told me back in Uni and (sometimes  ::) ) wondered why i bothered, should have just hung around Local Government and would have been better informed  ;)

No probs, will keep an eye on the posts and we can sort a day out in Spring, would be nice then to go for a drive East of the Darling Scarp and have lunch at Jennacubbine tavern, very nice steak there  :P Thats my suggestion for consideration  8)

In the meantime the German Car Day is coming up in Northam West Aust, i did this last year and the cars on show where tops. The old cars racing around the circuit was so good, a chocolate VW beetle gave the modern cars a run for their money. If it is wet bring good shoes, better still boots! no one got bogged last year in their cars but it made for some nice mess.

Hi Nathan, probably just my lame attempt to keep this post simmering  ::) BUT...

I will be off our Continent late August and most of September so if there are any dates for a West Aust W116 meet could i request October or if people want it early then one of the first three weekends in August??? :)

Any consideration most appreciated  :)

I will be in Europe for most of July but back in early August.

I try not to drive my car in the rain - so better weather would be nice.

For me, later would be better, as my 6.9 may actually be registered by that stage. However, be warned... it looks as if it has just been resurrected from a barn find. It may in fact be a new low in terms of distressed appearance. ::) 8)

Any of you mob going to the German Car Day in Northam ??? (This weekend 26th July)..

Hi Burty, i will be down there for sure, keep an eye out for a Blue 450SEL. I am having a problem with a squeaky AC compressor   >:(

but if push comes to shove i will just cut off the belt then book her into Lyons AC people as they have a good rap on this board  :)

As mentioned in another thread regarding the GCD, bring your boots if it is raining and an umbrella and a rain coat! its pretty wet right

now in the Wheatbelt and the Avon Decent people a praying a lot these days for a river full of rain, and i believe God is coming to the

party from what I've seen so far  :D

There are some great cars there from what i had seen last year and if you are into Porsche's and VW you will not be disappointed. Bring

a good camera for when the cars go through the timed race circuit, any luck my new Canon will have arrived by then, anyone seems to

be able to queue up and have a go although Shannons Insurance would have a seizure if i tried it  ::)
