    Firstly ,

    A big thanks to Ben and his family and Dan ( for sweeping the floor) for putting on a ripper of a day.

    Ben, I hope big things are infront of you and I take my hat off to you for putting it on the line. Best of luck.

    It was a great day, but I will let Ben tell the story, although he seemed to be cutting the meat more than schmoozing potential customers.

    the happy owner.

    Congratulations Ben on a successful opening day- great food, great hospitality, great cars and great weather, you had it all.
    Bubby was very impressed with your ability with the espresso machine- her latte was excellent and she will be back for more!

    Best wishes with your new venture from both of us

  9. Thanks for sharing.
     
  10. I'd sure like to see more of the black model A RPU.
     
  11. If you mean the one in the back of the shop it belongs to Ben (lowsquire) and is actually dark blue.

    Here is a pic from the side.

    Thanks for the photos guys!
    It really was a great party, and a sincere thanks to all that made the effort to come down, especially those from central victoria!
    I was frazzled by trying to meet everyone and keep the food coming, should have palmed that job off!
    some great cars came down, and the weather was perfect,as it often is in clifton hill;)
    Im all of a sudden up to my ears in work..
    a five speed conversion in Dans AV8, some brackets and stuff to help make Guys wicked Triumph bobber a bit legal, and ive just purchased a 32 truck body on an original RHD 32 ch***is, that gets here from perth later in the week...
    oh, and im flat broke.
    :D

  19. Damn! Certainly was a good turnout Ben. Sorry I didn't get there, was midnight Saturday when I pulled the pin and worse still late Sunday arvo before I had wheels again! I'm gunna punch the phuck outta that Murphy bloke whenever I catch up with him. Did I mention I hate Synchro ***emblies...

    Sounds like you're off to a good start Ben, once the EK hits the streets I'll bring the family down so the missus can have a real coffee and I can goof off looking at cars. :D:D
