Title: Hilda's No-Show
Post by: Emu on February 18, 2005, 11:39:31 AM
I have had a few enquiries about Hilda and the Nationals.
So I'm going to explain on her behalf.......

Kiwi and I had devised a wonderful plan to do a double act at Jindabyne. I was going to drive "Hilda" and Kiwi was going to fly over for a brief (very bloody brief) stay at my joint and drive "Harvey". Unfortunately I have had to let the dynamic duo down.  I am a Pharmacist and own a couple of "Terry White Chemist" franchises around the ridges. My business at Tweed is where I spend most of my waking hours and I have been unable to locate a locum to keep the show running during the Easter period. So........ while u guys are whooping it up, I'll be flippin' hamburgers!! :'(
My ol' mate Kiwi is a bit upset. He was salivating just thinking about the beers he was gunna  bot off all youse. Tragic.
Don't despair, we have started planning already for Phillip Island, so all you blokes I owe beers for your assistance over these last couple of years..... I will come good, and so will "Hilda". (I can't speak for no Kiwi).

I know you guys will have an excellent adventure and I can't wait to see some of the pics although I am feeling sick with jealousy as I write.

Thanks again for all your help and I will post some updated pics of the - almost complete Hilda -  in the appropriate spot.

Real bummer, Emu.    :(

I, for one,  was really looking forward to seeing the great Hilda in the metal and meeting you.  The things we have to do for the money to keep our obsessions on the road!!   :'(

That's a real shame Emu. We were looking forward to meeting you and Hilda  :'(.
We also had some serious piss-taking planned for Kiwi  ;D ;D ;D

I guess we'll just have to wait until '06

Cheers,

Graham.

PS I'll drink your share of the Bourbon at Jindabyne  :P

Does that mean that you can sell that headlining?
