Well, what a fantastic day!!
A great turn out for a warm and sun filled day of classic car joy.

What a line up....... Close ups...... Aunty Mary. Tom and Jules. Michael's Gemmi. Jims cover girl. A recent immigrant to our shores. How nice is this?? (I slipped on something. It was my own drool.) Bob's teardrop.

But wait.....theres more! Warren's Wasp, so nice! Excitement! Gary had the Elf as luck would have it, and found anotherey! Little beauty just needs a bit of a clean and service. OK, it needs a grey door fitting. Neville's sweet 66 1/2. Garry Carter's 117. Dave's GT. And Warren's nice Gemini.

A nice line up that would be happy to take any of home.
Just......love.....Isuzus!

Cheers, Matt.

And...... There were other cars there. Lots of 'em. Allsorts. First time I have seen 2 Leyland Force 7Vs in one place!

But the highlight? Scott brought the Dodge I sold him in 2007, all restored and beautiful. And I got a ride round the track in it. 30 years since I had it on the road. How good is that?? Matt.

Great photos - thanks for posting them up for us all.

Thanks mate! And other mates.
I know cars from the states are all austentation and huge donks, but thee is appeal there.
I bought the Dodge (a 68 Monaco, factory RHD built in Windsor Canada) in 1982. We were right into bushwalking and used to load up with mates and gear and head up the blue mountains, down the snowys and etc.
Many fun times in this car; I remember a bucks night with 6 of us in there, criusing into the city. There was a GTHO owner and his girl found wanting, while the mates hung out the windows mock whipping the flanks. I suppose he only had a 351, and the Dodge is a 440.
So I got a double lap of Eastern Creek with Scott and his 27 year old son. Chris was 9 the last time I drove that car.
A highlight of a great day.

Cheers, Matt.

AND if the above are not enough reasons why you need to get out and mix it, then how about this -
A nece fella named Col comes up and asks who ownes the Florian. "That would be me," I say.
"I've got a few lights at home for one, and no car to put them on," he says.
"I can help with that!"
So I called in on the way home and, viola!
2 N.O.S. complete reversing lights and 2 lenses!
Ya gotta be init ta winnit!

Cheers, Matt.

That's how it happens more often than not.
The more they are seen out and about the more likely those who know the where abouts of others or have parts for them will spot them and come forward.
I've scored a lot of bits that way

Well done Matty
You deserve it

nice score on the lights! great photo's too!

farmer strikes again ... always on the hunt ....for parts

You guys are right, find stuff, buy stuff. If I don't, I might wish I had, or someone else might.
Bonus: I got the lights, then Col pulls out a Gemini head and asks, "Got any use for this?"
I dont have a Gemini (Its probably just a matter of time...) but 20 bucks for a surface ground non corroded completer head? Had to get it.

Get 'em out and talk to the audience. Its fun and it pays!
Cheers, Matt.

Some other stuff at Eastern Creek.
Nice Plymouth Fiat 2300 S. How 68 Florian is the tail??.....Squint your eyes.... Toyota 800 sport. So nice. Lloyd Alexander wagon. Better than a Zeta? Lambretta ute. Quirky! Honda Motocompo. More quirky! It folds up. Suitcase car!.....bike.
Maybe so it can fit in the back of your Honda Zot.

Cheers, Matt.
