td at motorex

[Geoff & Jude]

hi all

went to meguiar's motorex at homebush today and among the $6m or $7m dollars worth of shiny metal was a very nice and originally restored cream and reddish tan td being pulled by a very very nice cream and reddish tan '58 4 door biscayne.

both were decked out with memorabilia from the period including drive-in speakers and door clipped drinks tray - very impressive, even amongst all the super shiny stuff.

lots of people taking photos of the td - and me without my camera.

G'DAY GEOFFY & JUDY I KNOW THE RIG AND THE OWNER AND HAVE BEEN TRYING TO GET HIM "OUT OF THE CLOSET" FOR A WHILE NOW . HE KNOWS ABOUT US AND OUR TRIBAL GATHERINGS AND HOPEFULLY WE MIGHT SEE HIM AT COLEDALE SOON . DID YOU GET TO TALK TO HIM HIS NAME IS DAVE AND HE IS A TOP BLOKE WHO LIVES AND BREATHES THE 50'S (LIKE THE MAGRIN'S ) . HE HAS GOT SOME REALLY COOL STUFF AND ALL ORIGINAL NO REPO . DID HE HAVE AN OLD ENAMEL GAS COOKER IN THE BACK AS I JUST SOLD IT TO HIM RECENTLY FOR THIS UPCOMING SHOW . I HAVE KNOWN ABOUT THIS LITTLE T D SINCE 2000 , BEFORE DAVE EVEN OWNED IT . THE STORY GOES THAT AT THE HOT ROD NATS AT CLARENDON SHOWGROUND IN 2000 WHERE I FIRST SAW IT THE T D WAS , READY FOR IT , THE LUCKY DOOR PRIZE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! CAN YOU BELIEVE IT ! SOME LUCKY BUGGER ! ANYWAY IT CHANGED HANDS A FEW TIMES BEFORE DAVE GOT IT . I UNSUCCESSFULLY TRIED TO BUY IT OFF HIM RECENTLY AS I THINK THIS IS ABSOLUTELY DROPDEAD GORGEOUS AND HAVE TRIED TO STYLE DORIS LIKE THIS T D . ;D HAPPY DAYS ;D CHEERS BIG EARS ! MAURIE .

hi morrie

how are the midgets and "dorrie".

yes, the enamel stove was in the galley, along with a nice little fridge (like a miniature shelvadore) and an old radio. it was a great set-up, interesting that he's been on the scene so long but keeping to himself - to each his own i suppose.

not a bad lucky door prize and it was a good sized td to boot.
