good on ya for coming on down shedpest :D

phew...a massive effort from all involved, great turnout, perfect weather & valuble experience for the club :D
great support from club members/entrants, especially those that went out of thier way ie (roger,lesley/brian,monica) - for travelling a long distance...& (basicgreen, classic62) for bringing their unfinished projects 8) 8) 8)
its fair to say, that on the same weekend as the tour down under - to be pushing 100 earlys with a steady stream of onllokers, was a great result 8)
also, must mention 30 or so fb/eks 8) 8)

heres some images from the day

Agreed Ray, It was a great effort by the club 8)
Many thanks to all the members who pitched in on the day :wink:
For a first up effort by our club to run an event, it was a huge success.
We know we can do it, we know we have the support.
Congratulations all.

Hows the rocker cover on this FE,
I have never seen one before.
It had 'Silent Seal' cast in both ends.

looks to be a good turnout and a great looking venue congrats 8)
the WA boys complain us eastern states have more than our fair share of FB/EK's but looking at that they should be looking south not east :wink: :) seem to be a much better turn out there than you see at eastern state shows :?

Well done on a first time event guys. Not an easy task and a nasty learning curve, but very rewarding in the end. Looks like you did a really good job. Some seriously cool rides there. 8) 8)
Speed and Style........... One day I'll get the speed bit.

Holden Day

Post by Katchel7 »

G'day all

I came down later in the day to the Holden Day and had a chat to a couple of people. Thanks to those who made me feel welcome - everyone was very friendly. I will keep searching for my EK/FB and hopefully next year I will be driving my own to the Holden Day!

Cheers

Kat :D

Gday Kat,

Glad you could make it down :D

I was the guy you spoke to initially, in the morning (with the turqoise ek wagon)
& later in the day, when you returned - unfortunately we were packed & ready to roll, so couldnt go for a drive
but great to talk to you, share some advice & touch base with you

there was a nice fb for sale there on the day, but a little expensive at $18K - or whateva it was :?
im sure one will show up sooner or later, so hang in there
& we'll let you know if anything shows up :wink:

cheers Ray 8)
