Welcome FE-FC Fans to the 6th Bulletin
http://www.fefcholden.org.au/nats/onlionconvoy.htmlJoin the OnLion Convoy!
The great news for everyone is that it looks like we’re on target for a record number of entrants for the 10th FE-FC Holden Nationals to be held in Jindabyne NSW during Easter 2005 with expressions of interest growing to over 80 vehicles.
For the 10th Nats, there has been talk of three interstate convoys to sweep together all the FE-FC’s cruising towards Jindabyne from the north, west & south of Australia. This highway cruise should be HUGE, we can’t wait to see you all arrive in the Snowies! We’ll talk to all FE-FC Clubs soon to work out some arrangements for getting those interested together.
In the meantime, to get everyone revved up, we’re inviting all FE-FC Holden owners to join what we’ve called the “OnLion Convoy”. This involves you sending us a photo of your FE or FC & submitting the details (as per below), so that everyone can preview from just how far & wide our interstate participants are coming from to join us all at the 10th Nats.
This information will be gathered for inclusion in the Official 10th Nats Program, which will be distributed to all entrants several weeks prior to the Nationals. On the 10th Nats website, we'll display a shortened version (which will only include name, vehicle photo & town of origin) on each entrant, so everyone can check out who else is coming along.
So whether you have submitted your formal entry as yet or not, please email your details ASAP. The sooner we get this information, the better the website & official program will be, providing readers with the history & interesting details on each vehicle that not everyone gets an opportunity to discover with so many cars and people at each Nationals.
Of course, we appreciate that a few entrants would like to surprise their interstate mates by unveiling a brand new or unusual car at the 10th Nats. So, please still feel free to submit your details & town of origin but put a “to be announced” under the vehicle details.
Email one vehicle photo & your details as per below to: tim.miller@dotars.gov.au
Name: Tim Miller
Origin: Canberra ACT
Vehicle: Stock 1959 FC Holden Special Sedan
Rego & Colours: ACT Historic 058 - Ice Green & Forester Green
Club: FE-HR Holden Owners Club ACT Inc (member since 1993)
History: Purchased in 1993 from Thornleigh NSW, maintained as original with later inclusion of various NASCO accessories ie wheel spats, taxi-rail, rear venetians, weather shields, etc. Last major restoration was back in 1981. Since my first Nats in 1995, I’ve only missed the 6th Nats in Adelaide (1999) as my fiancé and I spent ’98-99 cruising in a Kombi from Alaska to Europe.
“See you in the Snowies”
Cheers, Tim.
