This is my fourth T-fest & I look forward to this every year. Doing the road trip with a bunch of Torana nuts, makes the journey just as fun.

I do have the correct switch fascia, just an ordinary one

I'll grab yours on the week end

But I'm taking the HB as I'm still waiting on the wheels for the LX

Have been doing a fair bit on the HB the last 3 days, will be getting tyres in the morning, as well as fuses, oils etc. For the trip, will need to pack my bag, Gawd I hope I don't forget anything

We need our heads read for leaving that bloody early.
I guess it means we get to Newcastle early so "Beer O'Clock" comes early too.

Yeah top work Big T & Shelly, Next year well show King Loz & his merry men how its done...

Im still amazed by how many people were looking at the HB, then I opened the bonnet and more came... lol ... there were awesome cars to the left & right to take there eyes away, but they still looked at the HB

I'll fix a few things up for next year as I have a year this time and not a week.

I drove into the motel doing the usual hand wave and "giday mate" but then I heard "HEY ITS PAUL" I looked over and it was gene, saw him last year but didnt get to meet him, but did this year, one hell of a character and top bloke, after all who else would take on a kick boxer...lol...

Every one I caught up with and met for the first time was awesome, I love going to this event, I have been at home only a few hours and cant wait for the journey next year.

Ando, I hope you get some sleep tonight, sorry about the freight train last night, I must have been tired... lol

Thanks Big T & helpers? for everything you did to make this past weekend a bloody brilliant trip away.
All the arrangements for our accomodation, meals etc, the booklets for the convoy participants, co ordinating & preparing the Club display & anything else I may have forgotten (I killed a few brain cells in Newcastle too).
Kerrie & I really appreciate your efforts. It won't be our last Toranafest

BRUCE

P.S. - Hey Dave, get your leave application filled out early so you can make it to next years event
