Hi All,

Another one over. Its getting harder to go home & back to work at the end of weekends away, with so many friends & new acquaintances we meet at each event.

Every event we have had has had a unique feel to it. I guess thats one of the things that bring us back.

The park management didnt really put any effort into keeping us as a group, & that was a disappointment, The park manager afterwards apologised, & gave as a Barbeque to use for our Saturday night. He also promised better if we came back, but so far we jhavent needed to repeat attend any one park.


The highlight for me was running into Paparazzi & Susan, who called in to take photos of my Rod & Lucille, & quite a few other vans .


We set up, & the older kids all headed for the poolsw & the surf, & the river. Didnt see much of them except for feed times all weekend. I think they had a good time.


The girls did their usual Saturday morning Garage Sale Attack, & a lot of good?? stuff was dragged back.

Weather was great ( as usual on the Gold Coast this time of year.




Roll on Canungra for our Christmas in November function.


The pix Paparazzi took were similar to this



Our camp site



Di & Home made 54



OB & Lyn



Pete , Trish & Pearl



Ben & Mindy & Ford Von turned up with their Kennedy. Towed it all the way from Melbourne after buying it there, & lost roof hatch on the Gateway Bridge near home. Bugger.



John & Lyn in their big Don



Dave ( Dosse) brought Mabel along (with Ilse of course to keep him in control)



Sutcac & Barb rushed home from their Northern holiday,




Neil & Cheryl brought their Rowvan



Tony & Terese Fulton brought this neat Olympic


As always David & Lyn brought their big bondy. Still travells well & heaps of room for garage sale wins



I met a guy ( cant remember if he is a Forum member or not) who was there with this beautiful van he bought from the original owner, who had it built to his custom order in1966. It is immaculate, & I've never seen a layout internally like it







Jondi ( john & Di) turned up with their flat black 11 second drag race/street 55 chev post tudor & teardrop.



Banno & Joey brought 2 vaqns & cars, along with the best griddle cakes anyone could eat. Thanks Joey for the effort





Phil & Lou dropped in for their first event, with their immaculate baby Franklin




Kel & family had their Bantam behind the Kombi, but I missed the Kombi




And to those I missed, Earlee, Lightning McQueen, & I'm sure others, I apologise.

Too many vans make me thirsty, then I forget what I'm doing..

Thats right, time for tucker



Its all fun,

JBJ. Boots & Izzy

Looks like a great weekend guys. All those freshly painted vans would put my Munro to shame (it gets done next year). I am off to race at Speed on Tweed at Murwillumbah next weekend to give the Sunbeam Rapier it's final race which means I'll have more time for Vintage van runs. See you all at Cunungra.

Hi Dudes..
Looks like another great weekend...

Not that i am judgemental or biased in any way but...
If i Had to choose a "Best of Breed" van it would have to be the "Row van"

Love it...

This may come as a shock .. but i am developing a love for those Kennedys too......

To all those that have posted.......Thanks for sharing the photos.

Hi Guys,

I can't believe we missed this weekend. We have been working so hard on getting Vernon on the road we've missed the whole thing. We had a Fundraiser for Eues Kindy so really we could not have gone anyway. Shame we missed the Kombi set up, have seen the project on the site and thought it was cool as. Will have to wait by the sounds if it. Looks asthough you all had a fab time, and beautiful weather.
Hope to see you all in Nov now. Got Vernon all sorted, and now Vera has decided that she would like some attention too, will have to see if she can make Nov.

Des,Kel, and Kids.

It was fantastic to meet all the members at that event.
There would have been 40 plus people, as that was how many name tags I made

Cheers,
Ron

Yep another successful weekend.

We need to do something about garage sales. I may have to put a limit on what Trish picks up. The girls had a great time but who would have thought we would pick up another VV after me saying we well I was anyway happy with the one VV.
A Miami Princess and if you know anything about this make I would appreciate hearing from you.
