Jacko,

The 9000 mile EK is the one that makes my viens bulge.

Great collection.

Scares me a little to have all the cars in one spot ( bit like all the eggs in one basket) but I am super paranoid.

Mate great to see you have the ability to enjoy your passion.

Regards Greg

Hi there Greg, it's been a while. Thank you! We all feel privileged to own them.

The 9,000 mile sedan is the pride of the fleet, though, the standard 215 Morning grey, the Snowcrest white / Cameo sedan & the Cataract Grey wagon are my favorites .... at the moment.

They are insured & in a safe & secure alarmed space. I see the pore victims of fires & floods and after getting over the shock of the loss of life, one tends to to not get too possessive over material things. Although, it is great to have a passion.

Does the 9000 mile EK still have that "new car" type smell Steve??

Aussie Bob · Post by **Aussie Bob** » Fri Feb 13, 2009 8:38 pm

Hi Terry, yes it does! The seat is sooo soft. When you pull the handbrake on, the indicator or gear leaver, that all click like new!

BTW, I have some amazing reading on the 9,000 mile car. Just need time to scan it all, format & upload.

That's one car I'd especially like to see "in the flesh".Close as anyone would be able to get to seeing a brand new EK Holden in 2009.

A time capsule so to speak.

Thanks Terry, well there is supposed to be a run to our shed this Sunday, though, the weather is saying different

Your always welcome!

Steve what size/make tyres have you got on the Honey Beige Ute.
The 9,000 mile EK also makes my vein bulge - great collection.

Hi Blue, I will have a look when I pop out on the weekend. I think they are 185/80 13

Hi Steve, awesome collection to say the very least, the 1961 EK Special Hydra-matic Cameo Beige 9,000 miles should be in a glass case!! As Terry said, "That's one car I'd especially like to see "in the flesh".Close as anyone would be able to get to seeing a brand new EK Holden in 2009.
A time capsule so to speak."

I second that

You must be a very proud and happy man

Cheers V8EK4us, The children are right into them as you can see three of them are on the forum & have cars here!

We put the 9,000 mile car on the stands to help preserve the original tyres.

Still looking!

Aussie Bob · Post by **Aussie Bob** » Fri Feb 13, 2009 10:04 pm

I'm with you Craig. I love the Cameo Wagon that Sunny Tim just sold to the captain. I didn't even get a look in
