someone so young!!

Obviously confused me with someone else. :cry:

You can call me young if you can find the hair someone stole off the back of my head, or stop the hair growing out of my ears.

The admiration of your peers is better than ANY trophy.

Cheers,

Old Bugger, Craig.

55 years old? Nup.

42 years old with cricket inflicted skin cancer and arthritis, and a female inflicted bad attitude and dire financial situation. Nowhere near as handsome as you, and more follically challenged.

You win. :clap:

Having a Dinner the night before??

great idea...just as long as the cars are safe for the interstate travellers.
no one will leave them in a motel car park unattended.

so we would maybe need to take them? if we can see them?

just ideas

cheers Darren

What a crock of shit i cannot believe that some
people are crying over who should have won
trophies if you are that way then maybe they
should attend the Summernats. Who cares
about the awards we were all there to show
off to the public our pride & joy and more
importantly we were there for charity. Now
thats my 2 bobs worth.

100% agree with Keith.
Can't believe this is even being discussed after such a great event.

and here i was feeling upset I didnt win the best and only Durham Beige car on the day.... god dam it...... lol.....
I will only say one thing mine is a daily, and maybe a category for that would be approriate as well.... easy to keep a car clean when it only comes out once a month compared to a daily.... but hell i had a good time i have the hangover to prove it...
and i will be there again next year, just not sure which one I will be bringing yet....

CraigA,

You obviously have me confused with someone else, mmm not good looking, under tall, weight of a 6 foot six guy but yeh lotsa hair, mongrel stuff keeps growing on me bum, back, out me ears, out me nose, on me face and on the palm of my hand??? ooops I know what causes that!!

As I say wise words from someone so young, remember I was driving when the Torana came out, well the LJ anyhow!

I actually remember my sister bought a TA from Less Vagg Holden, now Barry Smith at Pennant Hills on the Pacific Highway, what a piece of shite it was then she bought a Pur Pul GTR now that was a car I gave some curry to when she wasn't around!!!

My mum even had a 4 door 3 on the tree LC light green with a white roof and Firestone Ice Racing Tyres, so called cause they never held on and you always thought you were on ice, they even needed to get warm to take the flat spot out of them after standing over night!!

If only I had bought thet GTR off my sister and kept it, if only.

The Fatman, Garry :spoton:

Well i have to say a BIG 3 cheers for the HVTC, what
an awsum display of Torana's & not to mention the
dedication that Mick Mc & Garry(not so large) and the
rest of the fine lads of the HVTC. HIP PIP HOORAY.

The day started bright & early arriving at the Macca's
carpark @ Thornleigh at 6.00am. then departing at 6.35am
travelling up Pennant Hills rd to the F3 where we were
overtaken by a highway patrol which was not to be seen for
the remainder of the trip to Newcastle. I can say 1 thing
that i released a few cobb webbs out of the old girl that
day.

On a sad note poor Howard had a slight glitch with his
trailer although he did get it up & running again but i
think it was too late to go on to the Toranafest so he
limped the vehicles home. It was sad not to see the
Litre 8 out on the paddock.

The cars on the park were awsum a full credit goes to
Tuffgong with his Torry Ute & that beautiful looking LC
(WYLDLC) they are both a credit to the owners.

cheers Keith

P.S. I can't wait to be there next year & i want a TROPHY.
LOL HAHAHAHA

Aaaaah yet another problem arises, in NSW Historic cars carry specific Plates, numbers followed by H on white backgrounds with purple lettering, obviously not so in the far off State of Queensland!!!

Good ol Peter Beatty.

For next year how can we identify Historic cars from other states, is it on their rego label? Anyone, anyone, voodoo economics? Sorry Ferris Bueller's day of flash back!

The Fatman, Garry

Grant was talking about my car LOL, up here (Queensland) a car on Club Rego (actually called Special Interest Vehicle Rego) can have either:

"S" plates (special interest plates starting with an S and corresponding numbers)

Historic Plates (little square ones - mainly used by old vintage cars)

Personalised Plates (any offered by PPQ - Personalised Plates QLD - think there are like 20 different types let alone colours etc)

Standard Plates (if a car is already road registered and just switching to SIV rego they can keep there standard plates, only an unregistered car going onto SIV rego needs one of the 1st three options) Oh and yyeeeeeessssssss before everyone tells me you cant keep standard plates on a SIV car, you can - I did for 2 years with the LC and Grants car has had SIV rego for 3 years with his standard plates too :spoton:

....... confused yet ????? :blink:

The only way to really tell is by the rego label. There is a hatched border around the label. Thats it, no special wording or colour - same label as everyone else just with the hatched border.

What about the other states? What are your 'historic'/'club'/SIV rego rules when it comes to identifying with plates or labels??? Be interesting to find out

Cheers
Kel

Ms Cameo Gold,

Yep youve confused me, wow how many ways to bake a cake do they have in Qld?

If a car is to be judged in Historic maybe we will need that to be identified on the entry form but we will need to rely on the honesty of the entrants because I failed detective school!!

And what about our other states?

The Fatman, Garry :blink:

colour me confused!
