Jenno HA ! Look who's talking I'm taking # 3 in my celebrity stable to BH ( the Swamp Van ) so Nicole won't be interested in posing with that one..... not when she sees some of the other class acts that are going to the Nationals, I saw one of them yesterday, just beautiful Cobber.

Morning all,
A couple of days before the Corowa Nationals, I had to pull out on Doctors orders, with a problem knee.
Unfortunately for Broken Hill, Jan has been diagnosed with a very painful and debilitating Bulging Disc … needless to say, she will now not be a starter.
Jan has however, given me the green light to attend …although I may be looking a tad sad and forlorn, without my wife of 43 years.
See you at Broken Hill!!!
Max

Well Bessie's all packed, she has been extracted from her hidey hole and waiting patiently in the drive way for the calendar to catch up. We missed the last one at Corowa as Bessie was just no where near ready at that stage. This will be our first NATs and we are really looking forward to it. The journey starts on Saturday morning for us. To all attending drive safely and see you there.

Hi All,
Well finally I got told by my doctor that it isnt smart or safe for me to travel with the infection I have in my leg cuts.
So sadly we have to withdraw from the fun.
I'm not happy with the way my injury turned out, but its impossible to fix things once they happen.
So I guess I will see a few of you on the road somewhere in the future. Wishing everyone a great time & safe travelling.
JBJ & Boots

HA !

Would number 3 be the one with the satellite dish, Concealed microwave. Laptop storage area, portable electric refridgerator, and various portable appliance charges scattered about.. that I seen all plugged in whirring away at Kendalls Beach? ?.... Hmmmmmmmmm... I can see why you are taking a 3rd row seat in this years VINTAGE CARAVANS Nationals celebrity stakes. Poor old Nicole wouldn't stand a chance against that sort of competition Nothing wrong with this old farts memory. Regards Reddo Not much wrong with your imagination either 'arold.... you must be thinking of somebody else The Swamp van has an 'engagement' before we fire her up for the run to the Nationals and poor old Driftwood has got the sulks something awful ... wish I could take 'em both, well I could but...... I won't. Cobber.
