Was great to meet you Andrew, even if it was for only 10 minutes.
At least I know who you are for next year, there would have been so many forum members that we all passed by without realising who they are.

If we have lanyards next year, maybe we could put forum names on them as well. Just an idea. :idea:

I'd rather drive something made of metal, not plastic!

That's a really good idea, helping people put names to faces and forum identities. I know a couple of people wrote theirs in this year!

Looking at your pics Trev, it most certainly was not your wife who took that pic of me, Vic & Henry at the winery. Neither was it Devilrod's. Looking at Dakam's pics, it was the Asian lady at the VIC table.

mate, that was a treat seeing that car. A lovely original color. How interesting it must have been in 1960 /1961 seeing all those colorful Holdens driving around!
I really enjoyed seeing your and Jaynes one together! Awesome

Thanks Paul, it was a treat driving it. The shot of the two Twilight Turquoise FBs in the main street of Leeton is a good one. :)

Like you, I think the factory colours suit the FB - EK models perfectly. Much nicer than the drab colours painted on the British cars of the time. With a few exceptions, I don't think modern colours suit them either.
