Well bugger me...I was at South Nowra this evening (in My XR8 Ute)at the Servo and before me was a rare sight...2 LX Sedans (Red and Black) with full flare kits etc filling up with fuel...I spoke to the guy in the Red one and mentioned this run and he said he is trying to get to it....it will depend if he can get back in time. I hadnt seen either of them before and asked if they were locals and said yes...sorry no pics...

I have also seen a White and Yellow LX Sedans on the coast...Havent had a chance to catch up with these 2 yet. Hopefully they will get along???

Hey Pat...I should be able to join your mob ...so send me a pm on your intended travels times etc.

Yella is ready.

Mid-Life, you have something nice going on with that bonnet, can't quite put my finger on it.

Knew there was a reason I wasn't looking forward to a plug change - Damn you No. 7. My arms seem to have gotten fatter.

Hi Keith

No driver for mine PLUS and this is a biggie, I only found out last week my car is needed at the wedding Expo here at the AIS tomorrow (The Dream is now a reg'd restricted hire car for formals and weddings. Danny will be driving those.)
So that excluded me from going as a passenger too - not that anyone offered lol I did know about the expo a long time ago but forgot all about it.

I spent the day cleaning and polishing my car for tomorrow and luckily Danny turned up so he got on the creeper and painted the black tail pipes again.

greet the Canberra boys on their way up the coast at 11am near Sussex Inlet.

For those in Canberra that thought that my car was a right off as it was wrapped around a Telegraph pole back in 2002...well no, it was actually a small 10cm pole (by previous owner)
Not that bad really, here is the damage before the panel beater got to it. They repaired the guard.
