Hi there vintage Vanners

For any of the newer members of this site that have never been on a run or want to know basically what we do and where we go
I will be reproducing some copies of one of our first runs
which was the Jesse Martin Farm run to Williams in Western Australia
featuring the Late great Trevor Roberts we have lots of great shots of trevors Coronet Van and some great video of Trev just enjoying himself
also the pooh bahh doing his version of daddy cools come back again
amongst others doing there Karaoke thing

there are some great combinations of cars and vans

It is in DVD format and runs for around nine minutes
the owner of this farm is a most remarkable man and the proof is in what you get to see
Jesse Martin is an amazing man when his wife and Son died within twelve months of each other
he dedicated his life to the building of a a mini town with tavern curio shops Garages sheds and a huge amount of curio keepsakes
cars and trucks and much more which has taken over 25 years to complete all the proceeds go to Cancer research and the Royal Perth Hospital
there was even a Painting on the wall that resembled Trevor Roberts in one of the buildings

the DVD will be available for any one who wants a copy
just send postage and cost of the blank dvd around five dollars for postage and overnight bag I will gladly run them of for whoever wants one

and let me know who are the saturday leavers so as not to waste anyones time if people do not show up
Lyn Booked two nights for us and we will be now leaving on friday morning due to the fact most are leaving on friday

Will and Lyn
apologies for any inconvenience
but generally we leave in a convoy but because of the great distance and peoples timetables are hard to match and pinpoint a common leavetime

[lovshack]

hi y'all

hey will, how about the friday starters meet at the pinjarra bakery around 10.30ish

i've been there before and the pies/snag rolls are to die for ;D

i also know tucky has a soft spot for those danish thingies--he stopped there one day, left , went home , got the nibblies so drove back again. about 100km round trip [ now that's keen ]

i will call him and ken and sort it with them if you like and also tell them you are leaving from pioneer village . they live out that way anyhow. i'll be leaving south geraldton around 9ish--after the plebs have all got themselves tucked into there work stations

whats the go for tucker on sat nite---pub grub or d i y.

[paparazzi]

Hi All,

Apologies for not getting to Nannup. We were on our way there yesterday (Saturday), when the Monaro started to run very badly. Stopped at a garage where the mechanic said the lifters weren't lifting (or something like that). He recommended that we head back to Perth. So we had to miss the Nannup get-together.

That's especially a pity since we were planning to get pics for the 2008 calendar (to supplement those from Munmorah last weekend) and a few magazine articles. That's life, I guess.

Hope you had a good time anyway.

Regards, Papa & Mama Razzi

[surferboy]

Gday guys

Another great weekend away.
Just a little bit damp...but who's gunna let a little rain spoil a good party
18 Vintage Caravans filling the Nannup Caravan Park

I'M HAPPY 'cos the ONLY thing that went wrong over my whole trip was I broke a split pin that holds one of the vans leg winder thingys together ;D ;D ;D (i'm ignoring the couple of small damp patches where the van leaks)

Ditzy Do you remember the steps to zorba the greek.....do you remember trying to learn them

Jo...wheres the pictures ? ( c'mon, no pitiful excuses.like..I havent been home to be able to post them ;D )

Sorrry you couldnt make it Pappa (old Holdens :
It would of made an interesting article ..a mob of nutty vintage vanners with thier cars and hotrods out for a weekend playing in the mud and rain.

Now I'm full of enthusiasm, I'm gunna get back to the Convair rebuild

[rubyrose]

to anyone out there, my first weekend away with the 'vintage van clan' and what can i say; a bit cold, a little damp, not enough sleep and far to much to drink. coming home (after one last bowl of great soup made in nannup) it rained all the way and i never felt so good. thanks to everyone for making us feel so welcome (even though we were a little loud). we look forward to being invited back and maybe even with our own vintage treasure. warm regards to everyone & a special kiss for mark and ditz oxoxoxoxoxo rubyrose.

Hi Rubyrose

Your the first person to log on and give us run starved easteners a report on the Trevor Roberts memorial run.
We know ya's would have had a good time .. with vintage caravanning thats just the way things are ... everytime.. raining, snowing or not !!!
We are hangin'out for a few pix of those "vintage treasures" , the towcars...and the owners in thier natural habitat.

Where was the Poobah, Ditzy and the Royal Corgishitzuenyoclothound

What about "the midget" did he behave himself . He can be a real problem if he gets off his lead. ;D

Come on .... give us a fix!!!!


Reddo

[cobber]

Well done you WA mob, 18 vans is a good roll up, but it is a shame the weather was not kinder, and a shame Paparazzi could not get there to regale you with stories of what the east coasters get up to.
Ditzy with a bad memory I don't believe that surferboy

Cobber.
