Default For those not on Facebook

Including myself.. here's some pictures.

Themes were Chrysler and Tank. Only one tank (but what a tank!)

Harley and Sidecar won peoples choice

The little Jailbar is probably the only one in existence (In this configuration)

Having fun in an amphibian.

It is great that KVE is at last recognizing Jan and others for their work for KVE with Life Membership. So far I have worked out that Jan Thompson/Creamer and Alan Newton are the worthy recipients but who was the third?

Congratulations Jan, Alan and ?

Regards Rick.

Default Swap meet and Everyman

Engine the Sentinel Tank used (actually it used three of them).

Everyman Van.. Similar role to the Salvo's. Philanthropic group that spend a lot of time looking after the army. They decided to generously support the Corowa event this year.

Default Year of the Chrysler

Includes this beast - which got my vote for best Chrysler.

Burma Dodge, built for the Chinese. Only two known to be in running condition in this country (and they never came here as new trucks). Originally had a tray on the back. Changed to Prime mover to legally drive
at events.
Owner kindly let me have a drive - big flat six purred effortlessly.
Beautiful five speed crash box, very easy to shift (even for me) Fifth gear one to one.

Nope the pics were taken on other people's cameras this year. I think one of them was Jan's 'chick' iPhone. Not sure who else's were used.
