G'day All

 

After leaving for Bathurst and driving SLOWLY (road works) we called into Lithgow for a pit-stop fill up for both cars and drivers

Then onto Bathurst where I thought Laurie from Tassie would feel at home amongst the mountain and hills of the area

AND we did end up at "The Mountain"  :spoton:

Of course you can not visit Mount Panorama without going to the Natonal Motor Racing Museum

Which is filled with great racing cars of the past

AND it wouldn't be right not to have at least some reference to Harry, albeit a Ffffffford he had raced at Baturst

AND here is a good reason NOT to own a Ffffffford

Finally we lined up on the start line for a lap or 2

There was another surprise on getting back home and finding the motel at the end of the block had some interesting guests

AND I don't know why but Laurie kept on following me home  :wtf:

Maybe it had something to do with the invite for B & B at our place  :spoton:

 

I love Toranafest with it's community of Torana enthusiasts and making NEW friends like Laurie and meeting OLD ones like Graham, Pete, Mick, Scott, Adam, Geno, Jason etc etc and please excuse me if I can't remember all of your names as you know, I am an old fart

 

Barry

 

This is the END of my ramblings, thank god you may say
