A real hardy lot, well done to all who attended and congratualtions to the trophy winners. Sorry we couldn't make it but we had to brave the weather at a family function. Derrick.

Glad to help Kevin and pleased you had a good time. Thats what it's all about, people helping each other out so everyone has a good time, and what a weekend it was. Derrick.

I'm sure there will be no shortage of quality pictures or video of the event. I took 133 pictures at over 24mb just with the camera in my phone. What a great weekend I still have a big grin plastered on my face. Orange here we come, with two kids in the back. Derrick

A great trip to MT Gambier on Friday with 4 cars in tow, two FC utes, a wagon and sedan. No major mechanical problems, a cracked exhaust manifold in Kevins ute which was sorted on Saturday and I'm sure a great time was had by all. Thanks to SA for having us. Derrick

Hi Tim,

With the price of petrol these days, rather than come back to Ballan to go through Ballarat again why not catch up with us on the way out of Ballarat heading towards Hamilton? Ballan is about half an hour out of Ballarat.

You've got my number and if we are on time we should be going through Ballarat about 8:30 -9:00 am and we could pick you up on the Glenelg Hwy. Unless of course you'd like like McD's for breakfast with me while we wait for others to turn up at Ballan.

Derrick.

Need at least one more from Tassie to set a record I think. I was one of three that went to Sydney. FC0000 Derrick

Thanks for the kind thoughts. The years keep sneaking by.
Derrick

Happy Birthday Richard,

Hope you get all thos Nasco items you want.

Derrick, Jodie and Angus.

Hello All,

Given we all like cars and Santa might have brought us one of these if we were good I thought I'd let the most number of people I know that might be affected by posting this message.

Safe Tinkering,
Derrick.

For what looks like a quality product the price seems reasonable, if we can get a club discount all the better. I'd buy one. Derrick.

I reckon 4Hammers in TAS could put you onto a set. I lived down there for a while and saw a couple of sets floating around. Derrick.

Great work Tim, I look forward to spending some time at the site.

Regards Derrick.

Thanks Wayne, as a naturalised New South Welshman living in VIC I got the best pressie of all. Tickets to game 3 of the state of origin. Go Blues!!!!

Derrick.

Thanks for the heads up about blemishes I'll have to give mine a good once over.
Derrick.

Great effort by all the organisers, a terrific weekend. And to have all these photos already available is outstanding.

Roll on SA 08. Derrick.

Thanks for the birthday wishes Wayne. Likewise happy birthday to all celebrating today. Derrick.

G'day Ken,

It's always sad to hear of a Holden owner passing, especially after a battle with cancer. Condolances to any family John may have left behind. A terrible indiscriminate disease and I'm sure we all personally know someone who has affected.

I for one have had cancer. I'm about to have an annual follow up inspection and hope to be given the all clear five years after the surgery.  :-/

Dig deep and throw a few bob in the biggest morning tea collections this week and we might help find a cure for this horrible disease.

Derrick.

What a site, there were some bargains there. Being a Caddilac type of bloke lot 832 a  '64 Caddie Fleetwood for $14,000 looked good, until I saw lot 862 a '72 Caddie Hearse (Eddie Munster would be proud). Lot 871 a '60 Caddie Coupe was about the money at $27,000.

The best buy had to be lot 868 Richard Petty's 1986 Winston Cup Pontiac race car in full trim for only $6,000. The picture only showed the left hand side so maybe the right hand side had some battle damage after leaning on a few walls during the '86 season.

Ah, for dreamers only alright.

Derrick.
