Hi guys,
As you will be aware this years Grey Pride run to Berrima is happening next Sunday the 20th of May. This year we have arranged for the local Bush Fire Brigade to run a sausage sizzle in the park, they will also do the traffic control for us. They are not able to take donations on entry but will have a fire mans hat at the BBQ where we can donate a gold coin for their support. This is a great oportunity where we can support a local community so plan to buy a sausage on a roll for lunch. For more information contact me on 0418-343-653
cheers,
Graham
Yummm.... sausages! Will they have egg & bacon as well?
I'm looking forward to this run again, hope the weather's nice.
If anyone's interested in entering the ACT Holden Day, don't forget we'll have entry forms & our receipt book with us.
Cheers,
Graham

Rusty,
More than likely, Greg, RET and myself will meet at the truck inspection bay on The Nortnern road on Sunday morning at 8.00 for a 8.30 departure.
PS Zulu may be there as well.
See you there.
Cheers
John

No worries John. If anyone has the entry form (Untouched) for this years NSW AHD can you bring it or a copy as I have misplaced mine. Silly Bugger.
Thanks Rusty
Unfortunately the BBQ with the local Bush Fire Brigade has had to be cancelled as they don't have the correct insurance to cater such an event.
Sorry for any inconvenience we will have to support the local shops instead.
Cheers,
Graham
Probably couldn't get a permit for the Barbecue :P, you gotta watch them they're fairly dangerous things ::)
John
You would think risk would be minimised having the RFS at a BBQ!
Looks like it's up to Ted & his barbie again! ::)
Its probably the public health issues regarding the food that has snagged the firies.
The ACT club barbie may also be along - there may not be time for us to get supplies to sell, but we may be happy to share our hot plates with anyone wanting to do some cooking - assuming that GPs eggs and bacon aren't hogging the whole surface.
See you there,
David
Grey Pride was on yesterday, and we saw yet again a great roll up of cars, with 89 cars in attendence. These cars came from several clubs, with the bulk of the cars falling within the "grey" cars, 48-215 - EJ.
To start with here's a short video as we set off from the meeting point to Berrima in the Southern Highlands.

:o wow great pics,missed out a great day :( o well all work no play for me ,l make it up next year.cheers Alfio
Thanks for sharing your pics Alex, beautifully crafted as usual.
The two tone red/pink FE pulled alongside us as we climbed the hill out of Mittagong, I looked at it, thought he was about to lose his sunvisor (memories of the Nats) tried to sound horn - didn't work.
Thankfully, because when we got to Berrima I realised it wasn't a Nasco one and was supposed to sit as high as it does ::)
A great day thanks to the organisers and everyone who attended for their company.
One day I'll get an !@#$% FE to one of these events
Cheers
John
Great pics Alex and love the video. It is a great event and good way to catch up with other Clubs.
regards
Stewart

thx for the pics Alex.
Cheers
Ed
Thanks ed for that..cheers mark
It's Terry James I think..... I didn't meet him, but saw his beautiful FC at the Easter Show last month....
My FC needs new king pins so unfortunately I couldn't drive it to Grey Pride on Sunday (still at the mechanics today). I was planning to head down late morning in the Commodore but my son and nephew "tackled" me on Saturday afternoon leaving me limping around on crutches and unable to drive anywhere...
Looks like it was a great day!! Great turnout again which is encouraging...
Awesome pics again Alex, thanks for sharing them!
Cheers
Les... ;)
Alex,
Nice pics. You've got me stumped with the non-holden coupes though. The green one is a Daimler SP250, yes? I've got no idea about the silver and maroon ones though. They look pretty exotic though.
Cheers,
Dave
PS particularly enjoyed the EJs.
Dave, the maroon car is a Jensen 541 possibly an R - 6 cylinder 4 ltr Austin motor - the silver car is also a Jensen a CV8, has a 383 (?) Chrysler and Torqueflite tranny. Both are fiberglass
Cheers
John
The Jensen Club were meeting at the same location before setting off. Did you notice that the lil' Daimler had a small block Chev under the bonnet? I asked the guy how much fun it was to drive and if it was a handful. His response was loads of fun and easy to drive as it also had full independent suspension. Looks like as much fun as a Cobra, and not a kitcar.
Regards
Alex
