Gidday Everyone
Well we had a great time over the long weekend.
Had to come back half way through to pick up the daughter.
She had worked part of the break
About to head back up the range to Tinaroo dam and Her indoors says"How about some hot chips?"
So off we go to the local shop and......
What do we spy parked about three doors up ....
An Olympic!!!!!!
Forget the chips ;D ;D ;D
Pull up across from the van and start taking photos
The owner and I get chatting
Mate love your Olympic,, early model - can see the recessed power socket.
I've got one that took two years to do up.
That wouldn't be the one up at ...... would it?
Errr yeah
Told my parents to go and have a look cause it is so well restored.
;D ;D ;D ;D
I live out Croydon.
Croydon. You must have seen that Kennedy out there under a flea tree Yes?
Yep and he won't sell it either....
Yeah I know - me and about half a dozen other blokes would love to do that one up. ;D ;D
Took a few more photos
Thanked him and off up the range to Kauri Bay.
He has only slept in it once so far.
Was redone by an English couple before he bought it.
Hows that.
Two Olympics in the same suburb. ;D ;D ;D
Before you ask Boblor
NO I didn't get the serial number cause it was too d@mn wet to be crawling under the" A" frame.
Will go back soon and see if it still has it.
Cheers
