4hammers in Melbourne for the day

[4hammers]

Hi all.
I am in Melbourne on the 3rd May (Next Wednesday) to pick up my new toy, so if anyone wants to catch up for a coffee & a chat (Or to come & beat me up, hey Sarge ) let me know. I will be sitting on the wharf where the TT Line ferry loads up, as I am to shite scarted to drive my new beast in unfamiliar territory (I also don't know the car that well).
I am just gonna hang out from about 3pm to the ship loads at 7pm. A LONG boring wait, so it would be nice to catch up with someone. Bring a car along & we can check each others out.

Hope to see someone there!

Can someone meet him please and keep him there, the IQ of tassie will go up in leaps and bounds if 4headswells stays away.

With all my love, Andy

Man, how many times do I need to tell you. It works like this;
"If I need any crap from you, I squeeze your big head". Remember?

OK. You know how embarressed I can make you? Well, if I remember rightly, you will be working with "Katie" on Monday night. "Katie of the amples", Correct? You may want to apologise now, or I am gonna have a BALL at your expense come Monday!

Give it your best shot numb nuts, I have already worked something out with her. You also have to be careful, I was told that you scared Tess so much with your paunch that she is doing a runner to Sydney .

 I suppose I should apologise seeing you havent paid me yet.

 With love, Andy

Man thaf is a long boring wait, I remember doing it when I bought my EK and took it back to Queenstown.  The guys behind me in the que must have thought I was nuts as I would sit there in my car for five minutes thinking about it before I would jump out and sick my head under it somewhere to check if it had this or that.  Is a good way to get to know a new car though - forced sitting around for 4 hours - no decent coffee shop within cooee either when I did it back in 1999.  On the good side though, the wireless was rewired and working by the time I boarded the boat

Cheers,
Mike

Hi Dave.
Long time, no talk. How's things? All well I hope. How is that 57 wagon going? Mmmmm, I like that wagon......

I have developed a hankering for something really different. I still have my FC wagon, but am playing around with Split window Kombis & a bay window dual cab. All quite rare.
Look at my avatar. That is the one I am picking up from Melbourne on wednesday. It is a 55.
Here is a link to another site. But beware, there isn't a Holden in sight

Man, I am excited.

Hi Mike, you replied while I was relying to Dave! Yes, it is a long wait. I always get there early, as I am paranoid something will go wrong & I will miss the boat. Could have got a later flight, but would rather sit around for awhile, than miss the boat completely. It does give me time to "Become as one" with my new toy.

Ha ha, Kiwi.
Probably the only chance you will get to behold the mighty 4hammers. Quarantine resctrictions prohibit, short, smelly, dumpy birds from entering Tassie. They reckon they are pests! Read through some of his posts guys & you will see where they got that classification.

Actually, I will be in QLD before too long.

Crikey, guys. The response has been overwhelming. 140 + views & not one VIC guy who wants to catch up with a fellow FE FC lover. I am heartbroken. Now I remember why I like NSW better

Gday Rob,

Its not that the Vics dont want to come and say hello to you , its just that theyre scareder than you are to drive through that Melbourne traffic !!

Where else in the world do you pull over to the left to do a right turn then wait for your green light to go red then hold up the traffic on the green light while youre checking no trams are coming through the intersection??


PS I apologise to those people I nearly killed when i drove up the left of the tram that stopped on the green light

[4hammers]

Hi Surferboy.
Spot on. That is why I am not going anywhere near them. Referred to as a "J" turn. The "J" stands for "Jeeeeeeezuz, this is a stupid idea". Or something along those lines.
I now exactly where you are coming from with the tram stopping & me darting by on the left in my old Monaro. Wondered why those Melbournians were always so aangry. Didn't realise I was actually suppose to stop. But then again, my old Monaro & me would stop for NO MAN!

Kiwi.
Man, you have waaaaaay to much time on your hands. Where do you find this stuff. You have a funny picture for EVERY occassion.
I do like that though. Damn Honkies!

SRV.
It is usually at the Supreme court, but when I appear there, I am not usually allowed to wander the streets. That is why I don't mention it. This time however, no court & I am free!!

Hi.
OK, I am on my way in the morning. The response has been staggering, nearly 3 people! I am all warm & fuzzy.

I have lost all my messages from the 26th April on, so those top guys that did PM me, I have lost your details.

Ok, see you there, guys.

Dammit i am washing my hair on that day(well whats left of it anyway)
                               Cheers Rusty

[4hammers]

Hi Rusty, Phantom, Bogan or whatever.
Washing your hair?.....Is it that time of year again already
You were my number one hopeful. I was counting on you coming along & we could make friends & bond in my Kombi. But alas, it is not to be. maybe next time, my strange purple friend

cheers kiwi

[4hammers]

haha, Kiwi.
Very good. Original.
Not lonely, mate. I hope to return the favour to any Melb whacka that decides to visit TAS. I just expected maybe a couple of "G'days, but sorry, can't make it". Melbourne is a busy place.....dirty & smelly too
I understand now, how hard it must be to get around, so in future, I probably won't be sending any old Holden bits over there, as it is too much for the poor postie to handle Not really fussed, too busy playing with my new VW! Lots of fun.
Here is a photo of my new toy, just to give those diehard Holden boys a coronary!

Good to see the giant warning badge still attached to the front!

Very nice looking unit.  North Sydney Bears Supporters' Bus  Or Essendon, I suppose

Has it got those pop-open windscreens?  She looks pretty cosy in your garage.   That might be the only way to get in or out

cheers
