Where is everyone staying in Broken Hill?

Look forward to seeing you all again, even though we have aged 4 years since the last gathering. 

[Tonight]

For those of you that guessed what we were doing, well done.

Finally arrived at our Home Stay Accommodation.
Yep our place. 
We have been camping for 3 nights, moving around the back yard to get us in the spirit.
This would have been our 5th Nationals (ten years) and we don’t want to miss a great weekend. (and our honeymoon)

We are having our own Nats at home. YOU CAN ALL PLAY ALONG, go to Facebook FE-FC Holden Enthusiast page

Because we are all in lockdown, most of this needs to be in your back yard.  Because we usually spend quiet a bit of money on our holidays, we are going to get take away a few times to help boost the economy in Townsville.

Finally made it our home destination. Some other enthusiasts are already here. Cant wait to see some more arriving.

Day 4.
Nearly there.  Last minute stop to get supplies for tonight's catch up.
Not missing out on this part.

Day 3
Last night camping.  Just crossed into the North of the State.
Can't wait for that Home style accommodation for the next 5 days. 

Found a nice roadside mound of dirt to camp beside

Another FC in a paddock.  Old bugger wouldn't sell any of the chrome or parts on the front floor.

Enjoying our honey moon, Haven't killed each other yet.
These long drives are becoming tedious.

We are going to take out longest distance travelled again.

Day 2, had no internet reception. Dam Telstra in rural south west QLD. A lot more driving again. Found a wreck ute in a paddock stopped to take pics. Free camped on the side of the road under a tree. Will cross the border later today. Really looking forward to seeing all the old faces again.

Couple more photos of day 1

Camp set up

Fred doing what he is best at

Finally drink time

Day 1
We are finally off.  Shortened our holiday plans we are speed tripping to the Nats.
Not much to see or do.  Only 3 ways out of Townsville heading south.  We have seen it all.
Big trip today, ended up free camping at a mates place for the night.


Thanks Smiths Mechanical for giving the car the once over as usual



Our view

I used the word "V1agra" said 403 forbidden changed to little blue tablets and it allowed it.
Fred

This is our honeymoon, so it better go ahead. I have 21 little blue tablets tablets and the upgrade from the teardrop for 6 nights and 1 week at Lester and Chris's.
Fred and candy

we don't want you suffering  head knock and losing all that knowledge we all seek. You might want to measure your head, so you get the right size.
fred

looks great Graham, can you post the hub caps back.
fred

I have started working on the wagon and are wondering can the subframe rust repairs (under radiator) be done with engine and everything still in car. Or is it best to remove everything?
fred

I used the gel type super glue, worked well. Only do a small section at a time. This time I am going to try carpet tile glue, it stays tacky forever.
fred

graham, one of the keys has a proximity security system. It has to be near the car. There is a circle thing in the steering column I think that what that is.
fred.
PS I never tested it

has anyone used a better auto rubbers, rubber kit. rares is $800 dearer.
fred

where does everyone get their chrome work done. I have three cars to do in the next twelve months.
fred

This is a, How longs a piece of string question. What are people paying for paint jobs, not a summernats winning paint job just a paint job that looks  good and shiny. One car is absolutely rust free the other has no panel rust only subframe (which I will do), this car may also have a bit of bog in I door and rear quarter.
Fred
PS. SORRY 

thanks john Facebooked Richard yesterday, slack arse hasn't replied yet.
