I had a chat to the gent advertising his FC on Gumtree and after we exchanged some currency I now have the front half of the Florida flash kit to go with the back half already on my car. Now for some TLC and maybe a new look for my old girl.

FE Bus  is that one form GMH Skunkworks....

Glad you got home safely, shame the big blow bent your vintage Hills Hoist. Mother nature can be so inconsiderate.

regards Derrick

You may not be the best welder now but when you have the ute on the road you'll be a guru. A bit of work ahead of you but glad to see one being resurrected rather than left to rot. Good Luck, Derrick.

The airbags got me. Nasco?

Hi Bill,

Please put me down for One (1) lunch pack as well. Entrant #94 Derrick Roberts.

Hey Pete.
I also would like to know price and payment details please.
Regards Derrick.

Looking forward to it........I think my insurance is paid up.

Wiper button posted hope it does the trick.

Hi Josh,

I'll have a look at the bits I have lying around and see if I have one. Do you need it before the NATS?

Derrick

Great wagon Trevor, you and Chris must be very proud of the result. I had to look twice at the colour because my first FC was a wagon that looked very similar to yours though mine were standard colours. Looks great, well done. Derrick

Yep, I'm going over on the 17th day sail at 9:00am with the others from VIC.

I'm coming back on the night sail 21st at 9:00pm. Looking forward to it.

What a crock, if someone wanted to use my car for a wedding and decided I could do with $100 to cover fuel and polish I'd be grateful. If the government then wanted to fine me $15k for helping someone out they had better buy some more blankets coz the prison is going to fill up fast.

Here we go, I took this picture last night of the odd hubcap. As you can see it has been well used so it must have slipped through a few sets of eyes over the years. 

On the subject of hubcaps I have an interesting one at home. The lion is upside down, I have attached a couple of pictures here of a normal one and a quick photoshop of what the wrong one looks like, I'll take a picture of the one I have at home and put it up. Has anyone seen one of these upside-down hubcaps before? I'd be curious to find out just how many of these "Friday" hubcaps are floating around.

Hi Guys,

Just in time for Fathers Day the new 2014 Holden Calendar is out, available at Target and where all good calendars are sold.

I have Miss December at home and would gladly make room for all the others if circumstances permitted.

Enjoy the sneak preview attached.

Hi Shane,

Little did I know when watching the news reports about the fires in TAS that when I spotted the tail end of an FC poking out of a blackened shed in Dunalley it would turn out to belong to my old mate Shane.

We'll keep looking for you and hope to catch up with you when you are next in VIC. Very sorry to hear the "old girl" was destroyed, there aren't to many standard FC's around that were as original as yours.

I hope you get a suitable replacement and the healing process is a swift one.

Kind Regards Derrick & Family.

Terrific pics thanks Tim. Congratulations to all who participated and looking forward to the next Nats. Derrick

Hi Guys & Gals,

I hope you all make it safely to WA and have a great Nationals. Happy Easter from Derrick and Family

Hi Tim, What a great effort, good luck and we hope the birth goes well for all of of you. Doing your bit for he economy too I see, the property values must be soaring around your place.
See you all in Orange, Derrick.
