Thanks for the tip Surferboy (hope you're enjoying your honeymoon and not reading this until much later)

Bec and I are going to take the FC (and the boys) down to Pinjarra for the All Australian Car Day.

Will the FE-FC Holden Car Club of WA be there?

We might even go back to Whiteman Park for the Classic Car Show next weekend too.

Cheers, Tim.

Hi all. Been following the trials and tribulations of the nationals. Wished I could be a part of it but I have a tradition of going and running and training-coaching runners at the Stawell Gift. Struggle to be in Tassie unless the date is changed or the Stawell Gift changes (bucklies and none on both counts).

Currently in Perth at the Under 18 Australian Basketball Championships (daughter is in Vic Country team). Anyway was down in Fremantle today and what do I see- FC Wagon with ACT plates. Done a little search and I think it was you Tailshaft Tim. Would that be the case? My wife recons I am a stalker if I can find out this info.

Safe travels to all still left in Perth and WA. I have thoroughly enjoyed reading about your journeys.

Cheers

Rod

G'day Rod

I think it's great (not stalking) if fellow FE-FC Holden owners can spot an interstate FE-FC Holden and say to their partners, "Yeah, that's <insert name> from <insert club> here for <insert event>". We've been camped on a farm in Oakford whilst I catch up with Holden Heaven emails. Yesterday's trip to Fremantle Markets and the fantastic foreshore area was a trade-off for taking the family to today's All Australia Car Day in Pinjarra. Maybe we'll see some more FE-FC Holdens there?

We'll be in WA for another few months yet, very hard to leave such a beautiful state.

Cheers, Tim

G'day Guys

Bec and I took the boys to Pinjarra Paceway today for the IX All Australian Car Day. It was a great day with over 200 cars on display, including many Holdens and 25+ Leyland P76s! I will post some images on Holden Heaven soon. However, just for now, here's a few photos of a new FC wagon some WA/Forum members might not have seen?

Ren & Bonnie own a HR ute, so when they received the news 12 months ago that their first grand-daughter was on the way, Ren bought this FC wagon for Bonnie to use as a daily driver that could fit a child-seat. It's got a 186 red motor, trimatic gearbox and Ren has recently resprayed it. Ren & Bonnie are a nice friendly couple, so I've invited them to seek out the WA Club, FE-FC Forum and next FE-FC Holden Nationals in Tasmania. I've also include a pic of the ID plate for Ken & Co.

Cheers, Tim
