Well I am back in Melbourne now and would like to give a big thank you to Barry and Lynn for putting up with me in Cootamundra
And for Barry taking me to some great places on the way and on the way back from Toranafest we did some great laps at Bathurst.

Also like to thank the HVTC for setting up a great weekend with the dinner on Friday night was a great night and good to talk
to Bruce & Ned Nowacki and get my photo with Bev.

Was good to catch up with Forum members from everywhere and was good to put a face to Name.

Had a great meal with the boys from Canberra on Sunday night thanks for been so friendly guys.

Also thanks to Bruce (threeblindmice) and John (Frash da Bucket) for breakfast and tour old Catalina Race track and Katoomba

Nothing like cruising down the hwy with a bunch of guys who share your passion

I dont mind people bringing their animals along, I have a feeling that the folks with the huskies are somehow invovled with toranas, as they were there last year with all the dogs (BUT they were only about 2 or 3 months old, and just little fluffball pups)

but yeah, IMO the dogs ferrets and whatever else are fine, atleast they dont run their paws along the side of the car!

And i must admit, I probably played with about 10 dogs during the day, every owner that came near us had Karlie and I introduce ourselves and see if we could pet the dogs (wasnt too keen on the ferret though)

My old man said he had a chat the the "ferret dude" and he was actually a nice guy! not a scabby so and so like he looked.

G'day All

I'm still coming down from a high after such a great weekend :spoton:
Unfortunately my body isn't recovering as quick as I would like :blink:

Gary, it was our pleasure to have you here as our guest :D and for me to have you along with me for the weekend and it would have been a boring trip by myself.
One thing I have to say and that is you sure can put away the tucker :tease:

Yes, Sunday night's dinner at the motel was great with the Canberra mob but I had to keep guard on my tucker with one lad who was eyeing off my Seafood Platter :<_<: won't mention any names red, um, anyway top evening.

The 4 NOS SS hubcaps was a good score and I could have made a profit on that same day but they will remain in my shed to be used on special occassions. Sorry :cry: Graham.
Hope someone snuffled up the XU-1 gearbox.

Sorry if I forgot any forum member's names, it's an age thing.
Earlier mentioned for name tags with possible forum username and christian names together sounds like a good idea :spoton:

We do this with our Wattle Time Rally here in Cootamundra which will be held in August next year.

Regards ........................ Barry

PS ................. The Master of Polishing and funny jokes, Jeremy

Nice shot of Jeremy there Barry, he does a tremendous job! :) I had forgotten about the Sunday evening dinner we all spent together, damn that was a pleasant evening.

Talk about a high I too am high as a kite on life. Considering the pain I was in all weekend I didn't pull up too badly after I got home.

With any luck I might be able to get the photo's Jeremy took up on the forum tonight. I am waiting for the slack B to get them on his photobucket :P

Cheers
Herne

First chance ive had to post since sunday. Top job to all involved in another great day :spoton: . I some how got placed way out back with a few others and it did feel a bit like by the time most saw our cars they were over it. Just my 2 cents for what its worth. I would like to get in the main area for next year so ill have to look at joining a club. I got ot meet Herne and Jeremy and a couple of others. I think the highlight of my day was on the cruise up when Tiny gave me a big thumbs up and huge smile ( most gratifying thanks). Not sure how many even paid attention to my car but i think a colour change might be needed from my existing persian sand colour to help draw more interest. Bring on 09 :clap:

Jayson, we had room for at least another car or two with us. When you saw me you should have asked me to inquire for you if you could park along side us! I would not have minded mate, no guarantee they would have but ya never know :)
I park with either of the Canberra clubs but am currently not a member of either. The day they don't let me park is the day I start a third club in Canberra lol ;) Joke

If you really want a colour change you could do worse than look at the PPG range or even House of Kolor. Those brands are not the cheapest but they are quality :)

Glad you enjoyed it mate.

Cheers
Herne

It was a good turn out. I left just after 11 but there were some awesome cars there. Yeah i watched Bev Brock looking at the Replica Race cars with a big smile on her face which was good to see. I think the Torana Fan Club is alive and well.. Oh and i have a little video from the trip up with TINY ToranaJudd and afew of the other boys which i will TRY and upload tonight.
Cheers

Josh

Persian Sand is a good colour.

Jayson - I like the look of your car the way it is, with the colour does it have more metallic flake in it?

Sorry, for only stopping briefly to chat, wasn't feeling the best after I ate, next year I am bringing a Kebab van along!

Thanks BCR42Y, the metallic is the same amount but it has a course flake rather than the finer flake. I have a bit of a love hate with the colour in the shade its just brown but get it in the light and all of a sudden im in love again. Since i was a kid i have always wanted a black hatch,flairs and drop tank so if i change this will be the combo i go for.
