You drove within 200 meters of my place going up the big long hill on the way to Victa, after McLaren Vale. Did the grey make it up in top?

Was great to meet Shani and you at the meeting. Hope it goes well.
Cheers

Off to West Wyalong on Thursday, 5 of us now as Stony and Gaz were waiting for us in Mildura

Stoney had taken off ahead of us and we found him at a painted silo enjoying a glass of wine Image
Image
West Wyalong is a nice place, lots of old buildings and a lot bigger than I expected , we also caught up with Lindsay and Janessa who had travelled down from Alice Springs

Awesome fun !!!

I've decided to make the run up to Mudgee on Sunday morning 4 hr trip and attend the Dinner on Sunday night.

Looking at the cars attending so far it should be a inspirational day and night.

Regards Greg
