Glad I travelled the long long distance from SA with Outer Control to make this run! Had an awesome day. The big guy was feeling under the weather so he gave me the keys - wicked driving his car, with the megaphone on you certainly know when the loud pedal is hit! Loved driving the car thanks mate!

Might have to think about buying an L34!

Big thumbs up and thanks to Craig for organising the weekend, and also his lovely wife and kids for letting myself and Wayne stay with them while over here. Much appreciated!

The GM day was fantastic and topped off on the way home to Craig's place by catching up (without breaking speed limits) with a very nice and tidy yellow flared hatch, and Outer telling me to drop it to second and blip it past them when we caught up. By the thumbs up from the hatch I think they enjoyed the sound of an L34 through a megaphone exhaust as it passed - we certainly did! :D By the distance the cars behind gave us afterwards I think it probably scared the crap out of them when it went to second. :D

Good to catch up with a lot of the WA guys - thanks for having us.

For me it was a weekend that started with bitter disappointment (when I couldn't get my car going), and ended with absolute euphoria after seeing a heap of awesome cars and meeting so many great people. I actually found it easier to remember a name when they were introduced with their forum name first. There were also a few blokes over both days who I meant to catch up with later and never did, so I apologise if I seemed a bit ignorant. I was just a bit overwhelmed by it all.

I'll chuck up a few photos here, but if anyone wants a pic of their car in a better resolution then PM me and I will send you a disk.

This was on Saturday from the South St overpass. (I have lots more photos from Saturday but it has been covered)

Cheers Dave, Paul and Mick. I appreciate the kind words. What a weekend, it was great to see the L34's on the park yesterday all together. It would happen without the participation of the people who own them, so a massive thankyou to those who joined in.

 

It was really good to have Mick and Wayne over to stay, anytime your in the West, you know you can stay again. Have  a safe trip home lads. And an extra thanks for making the trip to join in.

 

The whole weekend was brilliant, and to see the L34's and A9X's on the run together was very fitting. It's a sign of good things in WA for Torana's to be out together were they belong, ON THE ROAD.

I was a bit surprised at how many A9Xs are still around when the seven L34s we got together was the largest gathering Wayne had seen for years.

Cheers to you Craig. Awesome effort buddy. It was also great to finally meet Wayne. I learnt more about these cars in half an hour than I had in 20 years.

Thanks Laurie, great to catch up with you and Ray. Nice pictures of the cars on the Kwinana. Shame I forgot to tell them about getting grouped up!! How could I forget that. Pissed at myself.

 

Will keep in touch and hope to catch up for a drive later,

 

PS, I loved the Chev K20, that is one ultra tough Pick Up.

Craig, I enjoyed catching up briefly yesterday. And Dave, also good to see your car (the welcome ring-in) out and about once again.

 

As already mentioned the quantity and quality of the Torana's assembled there on Sunday was certainly special!

 

A few more pics:

Was a great day Saturday, thanks Craig. Sad end though thought I had run out of fuel, but after trying to find a fuel station, found it was the cheap fuel pump, and for the first time in 35 years the old girl had to get a lift home  :mellow: Tow truck driver was unique in a Wolf Creek genre, the Wife couldn't get out of the truck quick enough. But like I told her when you go out in the Torana, it's not a trip, it's an Adventure!!

At least your car didn't need a trailer to get there!!! I did stop when I saw your car but you must have already been way up the road as we never caught up to you. Your bride was still looking happy enough at that time, but I do wonder how long her patience held out. :)

Cheers Laurie, ended up going the wrong way and fuel station had been closed for years. Eventually found one, and an old guy gave me a lift back.

Geez Jim, that's a bugger. Hope you get her back on the road soon.

Creepy truck guy sounds even worse!! Last thing you need is a Mick Taylor wanna be.

 

You got some nice panoramic shots, they look great.

 

Will keep in touch and hope to catch up again soon.
