well we had our run down to waroona show today
got a rare weekend off so decided to take the ute down
about a 200 k trip down from my place :thumbsup:
so it was a early morning start after giving the ute a good clean through the week
pulled into the bp near my house to fuel up and the heavens opened up
Image
so after filling up the chopped GAYPRICOT ute i headed onto the freeway taging behind old jim in his imaculant fb
Image
people coming past us just shaking there heads with the look of
mate its pissin down :roll:
we headed to cockburn gateway to meet up with a few more
warren with his newly brought ek ute
ben rolled up in his fb wagon with his son riding shotgun
trev rolled up in his fb and parked accross the road without even seeing the bunch of cars accross from him
grabbed a mac coffee and then hit the freeway heading down to the ravenswood pub to pick up some more members
warrens car copped a flat rear tyre and trev was nice enough to stop and lend him his spare
thats typical of a car guy :P
with the weather still very average i was greatfull i rain x ed the screen the night before
as we turned into the ravenswood pub carpark some 120 ks from cockburn
there we all saw markos incredible van in all its glory on its maiden outing
talk about a standout car
Image
here we picked up lindsey in his fb ute markos better looking half in the 4 wheel drive towing the tiny dog in the back
dont know why it wasnt allowed in the van :lol:
we all waived at mick as he drove past us all oblivious to the fact there was some 8 cars parked there
Image
was able to get a quick shot of this blown monaro as it drove past
sonded so sweet with the wine of the blower
Image
so we all headed down to waroona in a convoy of eks and fbs
i think the eks were in front :lol: fancy that hey
here we caught up with blackie in his ute and some more locals
parked up together and put up the 2 anexes
was great to see the mad rush for markos van by people in every direction
that thing is sweet
looked so comfy in the back too :) :thumbsup:
great day had by all with gary also turning up but without his ute
did someone say licence :lol:
was a great day and a somewhat relaxing one for me
good to catch up with everyone and a special thanks goes out to marko and his wife for making the trip from gero
also im allways happy to meet someone with less hair than me :lol:
so headed home in a convoy of cool cars as we all made our way to off ramps along the way
looking forward to the next one
hope i can get the weekend off

Thanks for a great day guys. It was good to finally catch up with some of the crew.....
Had a chat to my better looking half (as Paul puts it-or is he the bum in my van) and anyone who decides to make the drive for the Midwest Show n Shine is more than welcome to camp at our place. We have a coupla spare rooms for the oldies and loads of room for swags for the campers. We will put on a bbq for dinner and provide space for sittting around telling warie's. Fish n crays ocassionally find their way to my bbq...........
Details on that plan closer to the time :thumbsup:
Thanks to Doc Bob n his crew for organising a fantastic event and sticking to their guns......rain,hail or shine.
Thanks again for an awesome day, good spirited people with some very nice cars. Julz, Fergus and I had a ball.
Cheers Mark

Thank you to all for making the trek to sunny Waroona!
Jim said the old girl got wet for the first time that day....didn't believe it until I just seen the photographic evidence :shock:
Great to see you again Marko, and meet the better half too.......that beautiful Van! (sorry, I meant to say missus and hound dog ;)
Will certainly be trying for Gerro in September, van and all I hope.
Cheers to Paul, Blacky and Marko for the pics (and Paul for the great road trip diary!).......we were too busy to take any so seeing a few snaps is great.

All the best guys
