FE-FC Holden Discussion Forum

Thanks to the early contributors to the onLion Convoy (see 10th Nats Bulletin 06).  RET has updated the 10th Nats website, the onlion convoy features photos of the first 38 Holdens submitted.  Check them out at:

http://www.fefcholden.org.au/nats/onlionconvoy.html

Here’s a quick glance at some additional FE & FC’s that will be cruising into Jindabyne next Easter.  There’s quite a few more entrants not pictured here, so please get your photo & details to us as per below.  Once the 10th Nats website has been updated, we’ll move these photo’s & more into the new onLion Convoy section, so you can all see who else is coming along.  See you in the Snowies.  Cheers, Tim.

To join the onLion Convoy, email one vehicle photo & your details as per below to: tim.miller@dotars.gov.au

Name: Tim Miller  
Origin: Canberra ACT  
Vehicle: Stock 1959 FC Holden Special Sedan    
Rego: ACT Historic "058"
Colours: Ice Green & Forester Green
Club: FE-HR Holden Owners Club ACT Inc (member since 1993)  
History: Purchased in 1993 from Thornleigh NSW, maintained as original with later inclusion of various NASCO accessories ie wheel spats, taxi-rail, rear venetians, weather shields, etc.  Last major restoration was back in 1981.  Since my first Nats in 1995, I’ve only missed the 6th Nats in Adelaide (1999) as my fiancé and I spent ’98-99 cruising in a Kombi from Alaska to Europe.

Great work guys
Over 100 people have indicated that they'll be cruising into Jindabyne for the 10th Nats next Easter.  28 of these 102 have already provided us with their onlion convoy details.  If you haven't done so already, simply email us your vehicle photo & details to boost your States total.

Cheers, Tim.

Hi Tim,

I've tried twice to send On-Lion details to your email....seems you still haven't received them.....

I've had no return messages regarding non-delivery of email....

cheers...Brad from WA

G'day Brad

I am sorry that my email address doesn't seem to be working for you - I've definitely not received your details yet.  Other photos & emails seem to be making it thru but sometimes Federal Governemt networks can be "weird".

If anyone else has sent me a photo that does not appear above, please let me know ASAP, as all the ones I have are posted.

As for email addresses: tim.miller@dotars.gov.au should work fine & nats@fefcholden.org.au also works (although those emails are forwarded to me by our Nats Delegate Graham Pryce who usually sends them straight on).

Goodluck & again, my apologies - must be frustrating when you're not even sent an error/non-delivery message!

Cheers, Tim.

no worries...I'll try again....

cheers....Brad

G'day Brad

Did you have another crack at it tonight?  I left the computer dialed in, incase you tried again but still nothing has turned up.

Also, thanks Wayne from NSW Club, I have received your email.  Just so we know its atleast working for someone.

Cheers, Tim.

G'day Guys

Thanks to the patience of Brad & Surferboy, we now have pics of two of the FC's that will be cruising into Jindabyne all the way from WA!  There's also COLT's & Graham Fuller's FE's.

C'mon Guys, keep those photo's coming.  Remember, if you wanna keep your entered vehicle a surprise (or indeed if its still undergoing restoration), you can still provide us with your details & we'll include those but with a TBA or ? where the photo should be.

See you in the Snowies
Cheers, Tim.

In the last month or so, we've had a rush of FE Holdens entering the 10th Nats which has nearly evened up the numbers of FE's vs FC's.

47 photos already submitted for the onlion convoy

KEEP 'EM COMING GUYS!

PLUS stay tuned for the next email-bulletin.

Cheers, Tim.

G'day FE-FC Fans!

During November we received a lot more onlion convoy photos, check them out at the top of this thread (54 all up).  If you haven't already entered and sent your photo to us, make sure you do so by 31 January 2005.

In the last few weeks, we've had a rush of modified FC's enter the Nats, taking total to 59.  This not only evened up the stock vs modified battle, but shot the FC's well into the lead on numbers.  So, we'd love to see a few more FE's coming along.

See you in the Snowies[/i]

G'day everyone,
There's only 3 more sleeps to go until Santa visits us all. But more importantly, by my reckoning, there's only 92 sleeps to go until we're at Jindabyne for the Nationals........But who's counting?? ;D ;D ;D ;D

Cheers,

Graham.

P.S. Oh, I just remembered, that means there's only 94 sleeps until the easter bunny comes!!  ;D ;D

G'day FE-FC Fans

Thanks to RET's great efforts, we now have 50 entrants photos on the 10th Nats Website.  We'll get more up there as soon as more arrive.  If yours is missing or you are planning to enter within the next couple of weeks, get your vehicle photo to us ASAP.

Check out all the entrant vehicles here:

See you in the Snowies

Okay, we're nearly there...  only 6 photo's short of our full entrant photo list.  So, if you haven't yet checked out the onlion convoy, do it now coz there's 68 classics waiting.  It's the next best thing to being there...  sort of, see you in the snowies!

Hi Tim.
Thanks for keeping us up to date.
Just wanted to point out that the info below my pic in the onlion convoy is not correct. I do not live at Hillcrest, infact I don't even know where it is. :)
Please check my details, in particular those being submitted towards the program. PLMK if you need any additional info.
Regards
Alex

Well, I'm curious.

How come OnLion entrants Numbered 58 & 59 were so sluggish in getting their details into the OnLion catalogue ???    ;)    ::)

Sorry Alex

We have your correct location in our official program but I gave RET the wrong town for the website (gotta love cut & paste mistakes).  Has been fixed - Hillcrest is where Neil Sweetman is from in QLD!

SIX WEEKS TO GO

Martin, I'm quite happy to blame my complete lack of computer literacy.
Unfortunately for poor Tim, at the moment he seems to be the last in the line when it comes to us passing the buck.
Colin

Thanks Tim for the correction.
Regards
Alex

G'day FE-FC Fans

That's it, they are all in...  72 entrant vehicle photos are now on the 10th Nats website!  The only photo missing now is Ken McLean's project, which as we know from previous Nats is well worth the suspense...

Can't wait to see you all cruise into Jindabyne

See you in the Snowies

Cheers, Tim.

Boo Hoo ,I just bought one and cant join in,,,,,
