Whats happening with the squirrel game?

MRflibbbbbllleesss looks like a rat Bellett goer for the day.

robSA is driving something (another squirrel)

and brother-in-law maybe driving too (but not a Wasp..)

if we meet at Macas, dont park next to the Blue GT.

What time and where is the meeting happening folks???

Last year we met at about 8:45 at McDonalds in Morphettville; this year we will need to organise things a bit differently as Ross and I are taking two unregistered cars and have one trade plate!

I think perhaps get there at 8:30 or a shade earlier for an 8:45 take off; depends on if people want to duck in for some sustenance. We will have a car already on the oval, off to one side, then will need to come back to Glenelg East to get the other car, drive to McDonalds and proceed from there.

Sound OK?

Drive careful and dont hurry.
Government already get too much of my hard earned dollars thankyou very much.

It will be a great turnout and everyone is welcome to head down to Wrigley Reserve, Glenelg to see all the Japanese Cars Day.

thanks oz, was a great time glad i made it! my car was great on the drive down, bit of bummer that i fixed all my oil leaks only for the oil to leak at the fuel pump! oh well whats one more job to do on the rat beast? also the drive home was good it got a little warm going up the bottom of the freeway but then i got off the freeway and used the back roads and all was good again!
ill post up my pics as soon as i find the cord!
Was great to catch up with everyone again, and i loved the rotor ute too!

Yep, a great day I think too OZ. So where do I start ?

Ok, Mr. Flibbles you are a legend. See.....you made it up the freeway again, testimony to the tough little rat !! And having saved her from the crusher means a'hell of a lot !!

Cheers Oz for the surprising literature which ended up on everyones drivers seat

Well, here are pics of the historic Isuzu clan

....and not much else, cause the rest was drift shit.
Best enjoyed was sitting out of the sun under a coolabah tree spinning some Bellet yarns, like a mini nats (none of it true of course

)

Heya fellas,

You know what? A bloody big pat on the back to all the serious Isuzu enthusiasts out there who got their cars out, parked them on the grass and had a bloody good day!!!

Seriously, how many KE10/11/15/20/whatever Corollas were there? There's a fair whack of them going around Adelaide, thanks to Frankie the serial Corolla restorer, yet I don't remember seeing one.

There are still a few shovelnose Coronas - how many of them did you used to see when you were spying for Belletts? And then get excited, only to be let down because it turned out to be an RT40 and not a PR20?!? Shizloads! How many were there? Zip-o!

What about Crowns? UFO Crowns (1971-1974ish) are getting really popular lately - yet not one of them there either.

... and all of the above would still be more plentiful than the Bellett, yet we had bloody five of the things there!

Now, what this all means is.... we rule. Flat out. Good work to all.

About time I flung some photos up. I took about 150... here's a small selection...
