Hi Josh,
I may need to pack more than a couple of lunches for the drive.
My uni joints are so bad now I can barely squeeze 50mph before white knuckling the steering wheel
whilst trying to go through the sound barrier. Hmmmm - Maybe I should fix that while I've got the front slaves off getting S/S sleeved.
Should swap engine and box too while I'm at it.

Hell, I should give it a respray too!! But I just love that crusty green sheen too much.

I've got 22nd Dec - 13 Jan off so I'll see what happens.
With the way the company I work for is going I may be on permanant holiday from the 22nd.

Might even take a spin over to WA for a cuppa with some friends seems I'm half way there.

Stickman

You Adelaide boys put us all to shame for cruises! Sorry we can't make this one in person, but will live it on Bellettnet (So long as you post!)
Have a cool cruise!
Go Stickman! Some good photo ops in that run!
Cheers friends,
Farmer.

Now that's not true Matt !! No one else shows more dedication to the cause as you fellas east of here, turning up to most major events and posting us tasty, larger than life pics all the time to drool over.

Maybe this time Rob can swing his camera magic while I drive.

Thanks

OZ

Yeah, time and place to meet would be good, Oz. A few of us from the other side of town need to know if we need to take swags !!
As south is the go, when and were.......DAVE, R...... your place maybe ? (oohh, could be dangerous)

Give this dude credit PR91. At least he knows what they are. You gotta convert him back somehow. If he can swing a camera and keep MG out of the pic....why not !! (teeheehahaa). No seriously, would be interesting to hear about his bellett'n past.

OK, seeing as our cruises are never more than about 6 cars, I'm happy to meet at the Shannons Insurance building at say, 11:00am?

We can cruise up Flagstaff Hill Road, Chandlers Hill Road, take the backroads to the train cafe thingo in McLaren Vale, then cruise a bit further afterwards; perhaps back thru Strath and down the freeway???

Any objections?

Cheers,

Dave
PS - also give me an idea of numbers - I should probably call the train people first!

I have bitten the bullet and done some swapping of parts between the Grey Ghost and the Teale Blue.
The Tealey is now running the 67 1/2 carbi and yes they are nearly the same but needs some re-aligning to fit the 67 series to the 68 deluxe...
and yes mine needs uni joints done too and the radiator has been flushed and she now runs real real cool even when temp is 34 in SA but she still runs well...

Hey Rob, if it comes to it I have a seat although I think it'd be a bit of a squeeze in the back :)

Defininetly ROLL ON, dudes. Weather looks good and a bit COOL, possible light shower south of somewhere. And, yeah, when the the cooling system is right, these things really need 25c + to cook up properly OZ.

pm incoming Rob.

See yas all at Shannon'igans.

How does this look?

Any objections!?

Unsure what we will do after Mount Barker; didn't want it to drag out too much and wanted to end it up a bit so the Northerners don't have a massive solo trek all the way from down south!

Given we're gonna do some lunch (hopefully) at the trains in McLaren Vale, we could always grab a coffee/Coke/whatever at the end.

Cheers,

Dave
