It’s that time of year, the WA Queens birthday weekend club cruise, this year it’s Albany’s turn again ImageImage
We left home and drove down to the Crooked Carrot cafe and met up with Allen and Lyn from Australind near Bunbury
Image





Image

Had a cuppa and we’re off again - next stop Manjimup for lunch

Caught up with a mate and dropped off some rusty treasure , had a quick look at his current projects, he had just finished this Goss XB and his customer was there picking it up , got it licenced today - still got the rego wheels on it

Woke up to a typical Albanian spring morning-

So I did the sensible thing and washed the car - primarily to get rid of around 100kg of bug guts ……
Image

…… and oil mist from the tailgate , used 3 litres in the 500km drive yesterday Image

Got to love a Studebaker truck, looks a 1950 model.

I picked this one up for my brother 3 years ago, Rare as its factory right hand drive.
