Default update on the Chev

Driving around to test before licencing, very slow but steers and brakes well.
Still a lot to do to finish the restoration, canvas, gun mounts, overflow tank and more.

Looking really good, Wayne. I guess from your comment, Wayne, it won't do me much good looking for you at Corowa this year. More than 150 vehicles here already. Cheers Rick.

Default The Looong haul to Corowa....

Ha!

Wayne would have to have left nearly 3 weeks ago to be there!!!

(3500 kms @ average 24 kph for 8 hours/day driving = 18 days, not including stops for eating, refueling, ringing ears, heat exhaustion, etc etc)

But what an EPIC trip. Maybe next year, Wayne??

Sounds like an good turn up, Rick. Wish I was there.

Mike

Default Corowa

A very good show and lots of good people, been there several times but to drive the truck there is too much. Train is the way to go, that's how it probably got here in the first place.
