Now that was a flashback... haven't drunk a Dogbolter in many years. Dogbolter is one of those Mexican beers (south of the border in Port Melbourne). Nice drop though. Same mob that makes Redback.

Any boss who sacks anyone for not turning up today is a bum.

Cheers,

Hi,
The SA club had its pesudo Saturday Nationals cruise today, which although not the same, it was still out driving in our old Holdens.
A great sight to see weaving through the hills.
It felt so right as only 3 drivers knew where to go and the rest followed to car in front.
Thanks to GPS, we all arrived at the same place.

Cheers,
Roger

Nothing matters more than cruising in a group in old Holdens.
I'm saying that without checking with my wife. She seems to have different view as her focus is shopping.

Well , the ute was dropped off at CEVA yesterday morning on her way east , the Nationals pilgrimage has begun Image

Gave her a good scrub last week along with the new ignition and trying to keep the oil in where it belongs, still cleans up nice but is definitely going to need some repairs done soon, the rust monster is having a nibble in one sill and the tailgate Image

Normally at Swan Hill for golf this weekend, against the Vic's then off to the Nationals.

We will miss the journey to and from the Nat's and catching up with others that we only see once a year.
Pending isolation and social distancing rules here in SA, we may do a pseudo Nationals, where we look at our cars, tell stories, set the barbie on fire and drink lots of beers.

We have re-booked Toowoomba accommodation for 2021 and I will have the Ammo's ute completed by then.

Cheers,
Roger
Looking forward to seeing Ammos ute there mate, we will have to get some side by side pics ImageImage
