Title: ACT club run - Cotter picnic Post by: ridgey_didge on January 19, 2009, 03:12:16 PM The ACT had its annual picnic at the Cotter River on Sunday 18 January, and it seems the cars caught someone's eye.

It has "Lucky Gwen's" (Janette) FC front and centre - you've got to be happy with that Janette!!!!!! There are also some other forum users and their cars in the photo. Cheers David Title: Re: ACT club run - Cotter picnic Post by: lucky_gwen on January 19, 2009, 08:24:24 PM Hi David
Read your article today, raced up to my local shops to buy the paper, sold out. Then went to Woolies at Belconnen, sold out. Then went to Coles and luckily they had a few. So I bought 2 papers. Its a nice photo of all the cars. The colours came up beautifully. And yes I'm happy with the photo. Thanks again David for letting us know it was in there today. Cheers Janette By the way, why weren't you at the Cotter yesterday??

(http://i26.photobucket.com/albums/c110/ridgeydidge/IMG.jpg) I had to do a quick trip to Sydney and so missed the run, and the chance to nudge into the paper. Cheers David Title: Re: ACT club run - Cotter picnic Post by: lucky_gwen on January 19, 2009, 09:43:44 PM Very nice indeed.
I found out the guy who owned my car back in 2003 is from this forum. His name is Tony Mudie and I found a thread when he was selling it back in September 03. He wrote alot about what had been done to it, so now I know. Cheers Janette Title: Re: ACT club run - Cotter picnic Post by: colt on January 21, 2009, 05:15:31 PM A guy from the EJ-EH club here asked me how we got in the paper; it's usually so hard just to get them to turn up. As we were arriving at the Cotter we passed a Canberra Times car, he chucked a uie & followed us. Next day we get the beaut article. On page 3 no less!
How's that, Gwen. Your 1st club run & you get in the paper! Gotta be happy with that! Colin. |
