Dont know if this is elsewhere or if it could be a new(old) regular but how about recording longish trips we do and interesting things we find on them?

I drove from home up to Noosa and back this afternoon, total trip about 230km.

Found a wrecker on Eumundi-Noosa Road who had a 99H engine sitting in is workshop for sale.. He said he had a little bit of Moke stuff for those who are interested.

Yesterday I drove the Moke 35km to work, then 10km to visit a rally sponsor, then 8km to a car club meeting, the about 35km home again. All with the top down because it was a nice day.

Today I drove the VW to the train station.

Last 2 days I have tried to tune it. Both days I got angry, threw the closest wobbly and threw the closest tool. Tomorrow it begins again.

Went for a run with our local car club to a small country pub in Gresford for lunch , then back through Patterson & Maitland , ( approx 250 K's ) .

I'm starting to get an inferior complex with this mob, fair dinkum :lol: , there was ,
3 - Ford Mustangs
1 - Jag ( 350 Chev powered )
1 - Ford Galaxie
1 - 2 door HQ 350 Chev monaro
1 - 308 SL/ R Torana
1 - HR Holden Sedan.
I must admit it looks funny when we're cruising down the highway and a mini is leading the way with all these muscle cars following :shock: 8) .
