Mike, that's because it's not all green yet. It is in the centre top of picture 1.

Cliff instead of the view of the swamp would you prefer the view from the top of the hill in the other direction

Nice, real nice. That would be a view I would never tire of.

Since I got the Blitz regested two months ago for Corowa it has put 337 miles on the clock. The latest trip yesterday (17/5/09) was to drive in the parade and gala day on the new highway bridge at Gundagai. Vicki came with me this time and we left home at 06:00 on a frosty morning and arived at Gunagai at 08:00. The airconditioner worked well and it took Vicki about four hours to thaw out

. Vicki enjoyed the trip and wants to ride again but whe it's warmer

. Isn't it amazing that people who say they have driven blitzs still have to look at the engine to see if it's a V8 even though it's got CHVROLET cleary writen on it

It was a great day with over 200 vehicles parked on the bridge for the public to wander amongst. We got back to Mums at 17:00 to pick the boys up, we had the day to ourselves for once.

We've got a Pearce living near us Robert; I don't suppose you have any relatives down our way?

Robert,
It is amazing how the experts come out... I had my F15 parked at the local Historical Society open day after Corowa, and was approached by an expert who enlightened me with some amazing facts!
1. Any truck with a cab like mine (#12) was made by Ford, and all the others (cab #13) were Chevs!
1.1 Any 12 cab with a Chev has had the engine retro-fitted! Therefore, the same applies to Ford-powered 13 cabs! (Gee a lot of people went to a lot of trouble, didn't they)
1.2 The Chev is a far superior vehicle owing to its bigger cabin (of course).
2. My F15 has been converted from 4wd, as they never, ever, made 2wd blitz's!
3. The "Ford" (cab 12) was produced during the war years, whereas the "Chev" (cab 13) continued well after.
I tried to help him with some factual information, but, being an expert, he knew his stuff!
