Hi All,

Here is the flyer advertising the event and we hope the final auction list will be up in the next day or so. We will have the usual pies & hotdogs for sale to keep you sustained during the auction and the parts stall tables will be available from 5pm to 7pm for those looking for a bargain early. We have another terrific batch of items up for auction again this year and we are looking forward to seeing you there.

G'day Mike,

My FC is a 59 model and I think the original rego was HBY-644 so pretty close to yours. I'd have to check the body number etc, the rego might just mean it was registered later than some others. Derrick

Our club has again received an official invitation from the Austin 7 Club and we have received
A limited number of tickets for Saturday and Sunday to display our FE-FC’s for FREE.
Tickets will be distributed on a first come first served basis and I’m sure they’ll be popular.

There is a designated camping area at the track with modern toilet and shower facilities and a BBQ area however, the sites are unpowered but you can bring a generator. I’ve been told there is plenty of room so no urgency to pre-book and it costs around $25 per head per night, with children about half that price.

Please let us know at the May meeting if you plan to attend, a sheet will be available and you can note if you will be camping at the track. Alternatively you can text Derrick on 0416 200 978 or email Derrick  droberts@airmaster.com.au if you are planning to attend.

C'mon Trevor, get the old pics up, they are fantastic.

G’day,

You can try this guy in VIC who has cut a few old Holden's lately. He might have the part you are after.

G'day Derrick, What are you travel arrangements - when are leaving Melbourne, coming back, etc....

Cheers, Graeme

Hi Graeme, not too sure yet but it will be a leisurely drive of at least 3 days I imagine. We are booked in from Thurs- leaving Tue morn. Might do the theme parks with the boys, not sure yet. We will likely run a couple of convoys from VIC as different people have different lengths of time off to attend.  Derrick

A pic or two would be great to assist with the price estimate.

Booked in at Big 4. Derrick , Jodie and the boys.

I love all these pictures, great work digging them up and sharing them. There is a picture of me and my cousin in cowboy suits in almost the same pose as these girls, again no ankle holster.

Hi Everyone,

I hope you all enjoy December in your official Holden calendar, the old girl is in my garage resting after a very warm FE-FC Christmas in VIC yesterday.

Derrick
 

Jox was getting along at a fair clip on the track too, I was struggling to get close enough to get a picture. Apparently you can apply filters to your pictures. I didn't know that I wasn't looking at the phone.

I've got one tucked away somewhere too, not sure what they issued for or if they were just a special aftermarket key. Might need some more light?

Thanks for the kind words about my car Gents.

I saw those on ebay too, current bid is $295 so they might go for less than the $480 originally asked.

I hope they go to a good home too.

Derrick

Just turn up cash in hand Slim. I think the fins might be the highlight.

Saw the ute about 1986-87, very early on in the Summernats history. I think it was before the prawn mornings. Sunday arvo bands in the beer garden was about the era. 

YES.....

I am still in awe of this great ute I saw many moons ago shred a set of rear tyres one Sunday afternoon at Charnwood Tavern in ACT. The noise and the smoke generated by a blown Holden six is still etched in my memory and will be forever.

   

Love to go, but being the sons U10 Footy Trainer I have other commitments.  Might get along after footy season. Regards Derrick
