Thanks fellas, good to hear you are working away on yours too Mr Flibbs. You have a year 'till the 2012 Nats! I don't see a Flo in your list, Oz. (My memory is weak sometimes, I thought you had one?) Well, if not, remember that I have the spare body. I seem to think you & Paul have lots of bits. Perhaps "Frankenflorian" is a possibility? Then we need to enthuse Gricey (in 2 weeks time!) to get his happening. Dave is bound to be there - We could have a fleet of Flories in 1012! Cheers, Matt.

Oz does have a florian but its more parts than anything else i think (as im eyeing off all the other spares i want!) I did strip a rather used florian in the past and kept as much as i could of it, there are some other florians out there!

i must say a nice reasonable priced Florian would be a welcome addition to the ever increasing garage. might just score a buy like Mr FFFlliibbllleeessss. bargain of the century... the Fiat just may have to go but that is only a fixer upper and flog the girl around the hills. my Florian is the $200 special from Melbourne in the classic isuzu on facebook. a bit past being a restore, parts only.
Thanks for the offer, Matt.

Sounds like a proper bargain, Gricey. Maybe you can find a good KB dash pad, though I haven't seen a good one in a while. I can help with an ashtray. But bonnet badge, hmmm, might be a next project for our queensland friend. I agree, the hardest ingredient is time! Inta the GT mate, must be nearly finished! If possible, bring us a photo to Coona. Green, hey? Unusual. See you soon, Cheers, Matt.

Gricey, Just to give the reaction I gave you at Coona to your photo,That's TOO GOOD not to bring to the road.Maybe in time for Merimbula? Could we make a Florian class, instead of "Other Isuzu"? We'll need numbers! OZ? Mr Flibbles? Dave? (We know we got you!) Denny? Third time lucky, Carol? Other random Florian owners? Bring 'em on!  Cheers, Matt.

Can't leave poor ol' Ted out...... What about a 'Yellow XC' class? He would have had it in the bag at Coona

I really enjoy driving her, she is reliable, comfortable, roomy and easy to maintain, only needing service items.  Cheers, Matt.
