Change of plan, the family think it will be good for the boys to go in the parade so we are leaving home at 04:00 saturday to deive the blitz to the airport then Andrew is going to meet us at 13:00 to load the blitz for home.
So we will be there for the drive and the photo I will say G'Day to as many as possible during that time.

Default Hi Dennis

You should have stopped and introduced yourself. Fortunately there was enough canvas left to do Swiss Chris' needs.

Jan also mentioned we have over 180 registered which is a record.

No figures yet on how many are CMPs though.

That's an easy one! Bundy Swim-In this June

Seriously, I'd love to be at Corowa. Didn't get there last year, although I was on the way. I flew out to Dubbo and a mate was to pick me up at the airport, but his Disco blew a head gasket outside of Coonabarabran and that was the end of the trip.

Looks like you folks are having too much fun! We'll have the Weasels there someday...

Steve.

Looks you guys have a lot of fun indeed! The flaming exhaust is great to see, I bet it made a great sound as well!

Enjoy while it lasts . . .

Yes it has indeed been fun. The only problem is the days just pass so fast and then it's over.

I did have a drive of a C60X this afternoon with a 5-speed gearbox. You really had to concentrate on it not to make a mistake.
