Re: G'day from Down Under
Coffee and Breakfast Avail , numbers vary during the cooler months around a dozen or so , then from Oct we go to Fri nite during daylight saving and get good numbers , Nah we stick to the one spot it's more the fun cruising there and back , any excuse to get on the road ...also it's not just trucks we get a good x section of rod and customs as well...

Re: G'day from Down Under
Took some time to try and clear up the wiring mess and see why the column was a little sloppy only to find out its mounted pretty poor and is not original, Fabrication required !

Re: G'day from Down Under
Hi guys,
The hernia op went well, from 10 to 11 a.m. Friday 19th. They kept me in hospital until five p.m. and my son picked me up and drove me home. It's really difficult to get in and out of bed and onto and off the couch, but it's a lot easier today (Sunday) than it was yesterday. I'm thinking of the Aussies meeting at Beaconsfield today but I'll be there next month. Doubly frustrating is that my new toy arrived last Thursday. I bought it in June this year in Washington state and drove it down to 'Frisco to the shipper. The ship was due in Melbourne on August 8 but did not arrive until last weekend (12th/13th) and only cleared Customs on Thursday. I got to drive it home from Clayton and park it in the garage and the following day, I had my op. Obviously, I am not allowed to drive anything for about a week until I heal sufficiently enough to be able to stomp on a brake pedal without any pain. So all I can do is look at it and maybe give it a wash. Will post some photos when I know how. Regards from Down Under. ![]() aussiejohn |

Re: G'day from Down Under
You are in Hingham, MA? That's crazy... for eight years, I have been working with a company in the Industrial Park on Derby St., BUT, I live in NC. I am up that way a lot though. I typically stay in Rockland when I am in town.
I always complain when I am up there that there isn't enough old cars running around. Good to see you are the exception.

Re: G'day from Down Under
G'day again,
My apologies for not attending in September, but I have a good excuse. Our car club got a call from the V8 Supercar people early September to provide as many convertibles and T-top Vettes as possible and bring them to Phillip Island for the round of the Touring Car Championship. They needed them to "chauffeur" the Holden drivers around the circuit for a parade lap. I got Mike Caruso and Marcus Marshall who somehow both fitted into the '74 Vette coupe once the Targa tops and passenger seat were removed. We had an interesting day on the island, but I drove home before it got dark. So, the next GTG is not October 16, but the Friday night October 14? Is that right? Please let me know and I'll try to make that one. Regards from Down Under. ![]() ![]() aussiejohn |
