2016 qld nationals

[Hotlips]

 :D :D Yep all booked in and entered BUT without EFFEE.  We have sold her to a very nice man who has other veteran/vintage/classic vehicles. Why, you ask. Well as Greg's back became increasingly worse for wear, it became apparent that he wouldn't be able to keep up with her need for attention.  As we have now established ourselves in Tantanoola (south east SA) and growing our own fruit and vegetables, it became apparent that we were spending little time with her and the last thing we wanted was to see her waste away. I have no regrets as we are very busy with our lifestyle now and loving it!!!!  See you all soon. Luv Greg and Kate (Hotlips)

 Hi Greg & Kathy.  Good luck with your move & new "life style". I have a great photo of  "GREY-POWER", "EFFEE" & "OLD-BLU" @ the 3rd Nats in Adelaide after the Show-n-Shine. You, Jim & I look to be from a previous lifetime!  Difficult to believe it was in 1991..... only 25 blinks ago!    Difficult to have regrets about moving our cars on to next owners. You maintained EFFEE & enjoyed the friendships made over some 15 Nationals. Hopefully "she" continues on into the future & to quote you Kathy... "may it be a long one". See you in Toowoomba.   Kevin & Margaret.

Hope you all have safe travels & we'll see you there.

Not long to go now, we are leaving on the 19th for a leisurely drive to Toowoomba.

A local artist has added a FC Ute to his collection, we are planning to bring over some prints for anyone who is interested.

There are four options:
297mm X 210mm (A4) in colour (as shown in photo) or black and white for $20
or
420mm X 297mm in colour or black and white for $35

they are printed on 3mm PVC board.

if you think you would like one let us know so we have a bit of an idea how many to bring.

thanks
phil and elaine

So Fred, you and Candy heading off the day before the Nationals then??

We actually have a longer trip than you - first time ever, only 1600km  :)

We are starting our journey on Friday 11th March, heading to Wangaratta for a start as our other Club, the Early Holden Car Club of Wang, is holding a combined Show & Shine with the Cadillac & LeSalle  Club on Sunday 13th.

Staying in Toowoomaba at the Big 4 in our Camper trailer  ;D

Looking forward to catching up.
Cheers,
Trevor & Chris

come Trevor this is our bi annual holiday we will take a few days to get there. Then 2 weeks to get home after. Taking in all the op and second hand shops we come across.

 :(Sorry Surferboy but have sold nearly all parts along with the restorable ute.  Just keep a lookout for a Land Rover with the numberplates "HOTLIPS".  Cheers
