Hey...great turnout! Just ****in with you,LOL! We only had a few cars at first. Now there's at least 15 to 20 cars each week. Seemed like more than that today. You need to post pic's though! Maybe you can call it the "Anti-Tet****" meet,HA HA! Good luck with it...
A big thankyou to Tony for organising a great morning.Gellato, LittleMissDago and I had a great time, and it was nice to meet you all and finally put some faces to names.Hopefully see you next month. Cheers Dago
What a great morning. Thanks Tony for organizing it. Good to meet TMF, Fat141, & Gelato. Hanging out with Jahoota and X38 is always cool and re-aquainting with Dago88 & LilmissDago was just as good. Once a month sounds good X38. Hopefully Badbob and Dreadman will be on their Official Australian Tour during one of these breakys - it would be good to see a few others from the Anti joining them too! As much as we didn't see any HJ Kingswoods for Star Guitar we could've sworn we saw some skydivers and thought it was Doc Watson joining us. Maybe next time Doc, we know you were there in spirit. Later
The pic's must have came up while I was typing,OOPS! I'm trying to pay attention,mate...but it's so hard at my age,HA HA!
I had a really good morning good to meet up and have a chat with all that attended. Even though it was small i think thats good as you get to talk to everyone. Here are some pics taken by my 8 year old twin boys. They had a good moring to as there was a good play ground at the location as well as being able to run around with dads camera.
Yes the boys took them. I was quite surprised how good they were. Was good to meet everyone till next month.
looks like a nice place!. My family have been in the food game for decades and I know what it means to have a group pick your place to meet..$$$$$$$$. I can see sight seers turning up..and that means more $$$$$. The place looks mighty quiet at the moment though,was that just because it was early?.
Mercmad, it's in a parkland in the Olympic precinct, there are picnic areas and cycle trails all through the place. we were there at 7:30 am. Believe me, by lunch time the place is packed. The cafe doesn't open 'til 8 anyway. The Italian restaurant next door - which you can't see is - is pretty good as well. oh yeah, your kids are pretty gun photographers Troy!
Hey Tony, Looks like you folks had a killer time of it, great showing for a first wack! Was the Holden FX or FJ ? ever built as a fixed head coupe or drop- head, or just as a sedan/saloon? Maybe as a ute? S****ey Devils C.C.
If I get to Sydney I may have to drop in on one of these breakie get togethers. Sedan, Ute, Sedan delivery and a few coach built station wagons.
PP, troys car is an "FX" (tho its techical model designation was 48/215). Here's a link with some extra info. http://holdenpaedia.oldholden.com/index.php/Holden_History_FX FJ Utes? absolutley! Here's a pile of pics of FX/FJ's. Not all HAMBworthy but hey, there's bound to be something you'll like in this lot! http://www.oldholdens.net/page7.html
NEXT meet guys! October 7. That's on the basis of 2nd Sunday of the month, or close enough to. And we're well due. Now let's see some more wheels out!
We'll be there, although little miss Dago and myself nearly didn't make it home in one piece from the last meeting. The old truck broke an axle on the M4 at 60 MPH lucky the wheel didn't come off & we live to tell the story.See you on the 7th. Cheers Dago.
looks like I'm moving in to the new house that weekend so it will be a welcome diversion from unpacking. It also solves the problem of what to eat for breaky with no food in the house!
Ouch! Sounds bad! Got any pics!?!?!? What kind of axle was it? Original Henry? Pretty hard to snap them forged ones!
fek . I'm glad your both OK. I ***ume you've replaced any soiled undergarments from that experiance as well...
Dang, how did I miss the 'up date'! Good to see you made it Dago, coulda been nasty! Man, you guys are plane mean, bring up two of my loves that I cant indulge in right now, hot rods and skydiving................ Should make it by the 10th anniversary cruise? (Though I doubt I will have a finished car........) Doc.
I am out this time. Kids surf club starts back this weekend. Time to dust off the long board for a nice long summer . Later Troy
