Got back from the Nationals at Shepparton at 7.30 tonight, had a nice early start this morning leaving home at 4.30 am and taking just on 4 hours to get there without a hitch, except for the one connecting car to trailer.  There were some 165 entries plus a few just on display, here are one or two shots that I took.  Entrants cars.  What one can build with $150.000    Nice convertible.   TAXI!!!! Also had a chance to catch up with cruisindoug and put faces to names, although only a short conversation another friendship struck, this VV crowd sure is a friendly mob. |

Thanks for sharing,
Looks like a great roll up. I wonder if any of my old girls where there.
No doubt the Tuross Marfia where in attendance.

Yeah Yeah I hear ya Leigh, nipping into Warragul tomorrow to pick up one or two things for the FJ ute which I am hoping will allow me to turn her over and get the whole thing running and then I will start looking/thinking about my next move with the Safetee, OKAY ;D still have two weeks of leave so I should get something done.

I am off to Churchill on the 6th for a week for the National Vauxhall nutters rally.
The cars will be on display at the shopping centre in Morwell on Saturday the 8th if you want to come down and say hello.
Have a great new year Derk.
Leigh.

It was good to meet up with you Derk at the nationals what a great event; but was it hot or WHAT! glad to be back in Qld where its only hot, not DAMN HOT!
Was a great day / event we had our car dramas but not enough to spoil the trip - look forward to catching up again sometime for a beer or two.
Cheers, Doug & Tracy.
