The Nationals at Narrandra

Post by Dons Automotive & Per »

Being just an observer to this Era of Holdens that i had really no real interest in? to now seeing what you guys honour and cherish.
Has made me stop and take a close look at what is real satisfaction in the Automobile game.
Congratulations to a bloke called Steve Jackson who put on a well organised and very proffesional show and of course the team of helpers.

Narrandera for the location that froze me!

To all the people I met, the smiles and the enjoyment I had, the gifts i was given, Thankyou to you all.

To the Guy who called me around 15 months ago and asked me about a fuel system I had for sale, who said what he was building, to then bring it down to my shop and then see his vision and allow and trust me to fit it to his creation, A Very Big Thankyou to you.
Congratulations again for your acomplishments and wins once again mate, well deserved.

I have now witnesed something that may have turned me to head down this path in this Era of Vehicle. (especially from that FB fitted with the Exhaust Gate Valve)

Congratulations to you all.

Donny.

Don, it was an absolute pleasure to meet you - and once again many thanks for all your assistance and sharing your knowledge to a stranger over the weekend.
When you're faced with an unpleasant task that you really don't want to do, sometimes you just have to dig deep down inside and somehow find the patience to wait for someone else to do it for you.
