2010 - Ön The Wallaby "East Coast Spring Tour

[Deleted]

Hi Kaybees

Seems like only yesterday... aye.

Some great shots there guys.

The Don at Bathurst has got me pondering something
While at Bathurst swap in 2008 i had my V.V wanted sign up as usual . It was here that i got the lead on the Eugourie van that is now residing at Firefighters ( ooops theres that word fire again ;D)

I also was approached by a bloke that stated he knew of a Don on a property just out of Bathurst owned by an old lady.
He was very coy about the exact location and the best i could do was get his contact number. I rang him a few times later that year and again before i went to collect the old 1928 van from down near Blayney.
Each time i got the same run around... in the end i just dropped the idea of the Don ever becoming available.
Just wandering if old mate at the caravan repair place may have happened upon the van and bought it from the old sweety .. thus bypassing the uncooperative "middleman"

Anyway guys,,, back to the tour photos.. if ya look at the photo of cruz rolling around the ground you will see in the background the atest creation from Reddotel inc... a slide on camper on the back of the black F100.
You have given the planners in the shed of invention inspiration.... ;D ;D
Now lemme see.. where did i put that chainsaw...
NO REDDO... dont cut Rosie up !!!!!

Cheers

hi Reddo,

A slide on camper on the back of the black F100 - you say.

You realise that everyone has now gone back to have a look at the photo to see what you are talking about.

What a great idea, but don't chop up rosie, i'm sure you can find a teardrop somewhere that will fit perfectly once you chop of the a frame ;D ;D

Regards
Di

Hiya Reddo ,I don't know much about the Don,but super sleuth Don Ricardo is on the trail and I'm sure he'll find out all there is to know about it....... ;D ;D

....and before you slice and dice Rosie , have a look at these pics we took on a quick trip up to Penrith earlier this year to pick up an engine......



....it's an original camper top fitted to a '56 Effy



.....got an unfortunate name tho......



;D ;D ( lets see if Leigh reads this....... ;D)
