We'll see Dave. I'm not too way from Tununda, we're at Gawler. As far as I know, I must have the only '78 Empire around. No one seems to know anything about the early Empires.

I will be there, and am hoping to take the Fri off, and leave early in the morn, before it gets (potentially!!) too hot for the slow journey Steve

Dave,
do you want the Clipper brought across?
I might be able to wrangle a couple of days off if you wish.
Let me know.
Cheers, Leigh.

I'll have to wait til I am on the pc to post pics. I posted pics on. Classic caravans back in March. The Empire is square, 13ft pop top, single beds. Hopefully I'll see some restored vv instead of just sitting in yards slowly falling into disrepair.

Hi Lisa I heard a rumour you will be joining us in Tanunda...and that you will be chauffeured around in style!! I was also chuffed to see a pic of my van in your last magazine. It looks as though the photo was air-brushed, as it doesn't look that good in real life!! Look forward to meeting you in a few weeks. Steve

Was it that long ago, Dave? If I play my cards right, I may get to Tanunda early & leave later.....to avoid the rush each way!! Steve

Because there are important people coming to Tanunda, I decided to do a some tidying up, using Purple Polish as per below. I think this will be the best looking bit, as I have found that the grease in my elbows has dried up & gone hard!!! I would have thought the previous owners of the van may have done this a couple of times over the last 50 years to keep the oxidation under a bit more control. It would have made my job that bit easier. Steve

I will be there with Globey on Safari. My teardrop will be behind a 29 DeSoto roadster. If any one wants to buy my other VC SAFARI for $6500 I will arrange for it to be there too. We are working on Dick to bring THE HIGHWAY PALACE. Maybe some donations for fuel could help as it is hugely thirst.y Beetles

Beetles says: " We are working on Dick to bring THE HIGHWAY PALACE.

I'll start the fuel donation tin rattling with $30, just PM me a BSB and account No, cheers Mark

YAAAY! Dick and Judy will be there in the Palace,but they are a bit too proud to take your money it seems. However Judy likes champane and dick will have a beer with you. Heard of a 60's Roady coming up soon too so I hope to have some info and photos at Tanunda. Beetles

Looking like a pretty big event! Do I need to book my nights or just rock up?

I have been asked by BOB FREA,K the organiser of the Tanunda get together for some help as some confusion has developed due to him not being a member of this forum (why I don't know). Apparently anywhere from 5 to 15 van owners have contacted Dave ( olfarts) to say they are coming but unfortunately Dave didn't get thier details.
So could all those who are going PLEASE contact BOB FREAK on 08 8298 2831, or 0412 853
312 or by email judob@bigbutton.com.au
Do this A.S.A.P. as Bob has to confirm numbers very soon. ________________________________________________ For those who don't know there will be a meal to buy and a rock and roll club bringing their dancers to show us all how it's done. Beetles

Sorry Dave . I didn't mean to "put you in it" and hope no one thinks that you were "grandstanding" rather than trying to support a great event.
Sportsman. I'm sorry to see that you can't come now. Does Bob know?
Regards Beetles

Next weekend will come around quick for Tanunda, so this morning it was time to drag the van out of the shed and give it a tidy up. I got industrious and even cleaned the windows, bearing in mind, windows only need cleaning every decade or so (due 2014, as I bought it in 2004). Now all I need to do is be able to get up all those damned hills between here and there. Steve

Good news.
I have been cleared for takeoff and will be at Tanunda with Hilda A Clipper tagging along.
Arriving on Friday and looking forward to a dirty weekend with all the other V V tragics.
See you there.
Leigh.

Dave, I only just took my screen off after 12 mths. Have not seen one locust around the Mallee for ages.
Am now going to Tanunda Thurs. Tried to get Monday off also, but couldn't. Steve

So... finally... I have had the logos signwritten on my Globey. A long job for the 3 signs but it looks great. The guy has the artwork in his computer and is happy for me to pas the word. But he won't travel too far. I fond about 5 different colours on line for the Gold Coaster sign so mine is dfferent again having 3 colours on the one sign. Blue sea, brown tree trunk and green oalm leaves. If I cant send someone a photo I will try to get someone who can, to do it for me. See you all on the weekend. Over 40 vans Bob tells me. Cheer Beetles
