Spring Tour 2006 expressions of interest

[Deleted]

Well WA folks, its time to start thinking about the 2006 spring tour. I know you all currently have xmas on your mind, but xmas will come & go like a shot

The spring tour was such a success in 05, we're going to do it again in 06

So, tell the boss you need the first week in September off, coz you're busy, and think about where we will head

We need somebody to organise it (Snail did such a great job this year). A seven day road tour is what its all about, with a max distance of say 220kms per day.

So, please use this thread to throw your ideas around & see what we can come up with

Mark

Hi all ,
I'm happy to take on the roll of spring tour king for 2006 thats if you can put up with me for a week.Carnamah have already invited us to there Agricultural Show so hope to work that in with the itinerary. a bit more coast this time but much of the same of the beaten track and lots of country charm.I have lots of ideas and would appreciate any other input.
Merry Xmas from Gary & Karen

[will and Lyn]

;D ;D
Go Gazza McSnail my Man My Main Man!!!!

Book Lyn and I in for the next week long spring tour run

the last one was magic and perfectly planned Mate and we are looking forward to the next one ;D ;D

If your not working new years day tucky and I are going to either Harvey or Dwellingup for a few days
leaving new years day around 9am from Armadale

If any one in the W.A.side wants to come give me a ring on 0405514409
An impromptu run to escape the city for a while

Snail !!
Tucky called up to see you at Bridgetown on Tuesday he ran into daggy
you may have been at Busselton at your summer Hideaway I believe
any way cobbler count us in I will see tucky soon I think you can count him in too

Ditzy and Pooh bah what are you guys doing on new years day (Hit the road Jack)with us

Heres a photo of the EK I bought some spats from over east but they where for an F.C.
nothing some snips and oxy welding cant fix

If youve got sharp eyes like Reddo and Jailbar (give the liver a rest) juice you will see where I have to add about ten mil to the top of the spat we cut around 50 mil of the end
and she will be a good thing
Any way have a Happy and safe new year whatever or where ever you end up over the weekend

Will and Lyn ;D ;D

[Deleted]

Ditz & I will be in Fridgetown for the new years weekend Will, otherwise we would have joined you & Tucky ......

Have fun

Mark

[will and lyn]

Jailbar I never ever make light or fun of any one who is out to improve their health or give up drinking
because I know what you are going through I give it up every Monday
here is some good advice dont give up drinking completely or you will dehydrate

Do what I do when I go out I take six stubbys when they are gone thats it mayt


then I drink everyone elses

In the last 5 years Moderation has been my motto
I drink Moderately all day long

Sorry Mate
you will feel better for it and keeping the mrs happy is no 1 on the list of priorities
keep up the good work and have a great New year to you and your family jailbar

Will and Lyn

[lovshack]

hi y'all

put the lovshack on the list for the spring tour

we missed last year and am not about to make the same mistake this year

looking forward to cruzin the country side

low life is THE life

[Daggsey]

Looking forward to 2006 tour snail so count me in.........probably give the EJ and the 138 a rest though and take the FC.......with it's cammed 202 and 5 speed box it shouldn't be hard to keep up with Mr T and the Ditz in the F..d ......not that it's a race mind you

[Deleted]

Dunno bout that Daggsey .........

Ditz & I may take the 39 Chev with the "Holiday Home" in tow .......

With a 4.1 rear drive ratio, and only a three speed crash box, we'll be as slow as a Snail, so we'll probably leave a week early to make the first destination on time ;D ;D

[will and lyn]

Well look at that congratulations Kingy our 300th net member
well over 300 now
Congrats Mark and Ditzy
and great work all you other contributors that make this site the best of its kind worldwide


Will and Lyn

[Daggsey]

Probably find Mr T that neither the 39 Chev or the cammed FC will be able to keep up with the snail's AP5 v8.......(oops, I met have let a cat out of the bag!)

[Deleted]

yeah Daggsey ......that souped up Val V8 with fluffly dice IS going to hard to keep up with ......our springtour leader will be the pacesetter

I may have to transplant the HSV Grange engine to the '39 to give it some kick ;D ;D ;D

[lillypad2]

HSV into the '39.

Way to go Mark

Most of last years group have indicated they are on again as well as a couple of virgin tourers so we may get upwards of 12 vans.
This being the case it will be essential we book our overnight stops early.
We will stick pretty much to last years format, meeting up at our evening destination yet having your own space during the day.
The above is subject to change if required.

Looking forward to another great gig.

Hi Snail,

I'll be a starter for the Spring Tour, sounds great, have booked holidays for that time so awayyyyyyy we go.....................

Hopefully I'll have the V8 ute towing the 10ft van so shouldn't have a problem keeping up

Cheers,
Hillbilly ;D ;D ;D

[59Ron]

We had a great time at Harvey on the weekend. Would love to come on the spring tour. Will have to figure out what to do with the kids for the week, being school time. Might have to leave them with school friends or grand parents. Will let you know when we have it all sorted. It would be a shame to miss out on another great week of vintage vanning.

Ron and Elaine

[Deleted]

Great to hear you'll be joining us Ron & Elaine ........it'll be great to have you along ......we too enjoyed your company on the Harvey weekend .........

As for Hillbilly and his V8 ute, we'll have to have a committee meeting to astertain whether we will allow such a tow vehicle ;D ;D ;D

WELL ITS HAPPENED.
Pickup sold to 1st Genuin buyer ( or should I say the 1st with the dollers in his pocket) Well its gone to Clackline and it may apear on a run one day as new buyer was very inpressed with the vintage van idear.
So thats our super reliable drive car gone , Looks like the 39 is coming
out of hiding and doing some work for a change. Have to get the electrics sorted but its either that or we drive the ute, then again we bring the ute as a back up vehicle . either way not going to miss this one for quids, see you all there.
