Aussie Nostalgia Fathers day PICS

[jimbob]

Headed off nice and early Sunday morning (Fathers day) for a 300 kilometer (dunno how many miles) trip to nostalgia day run/BBQ run held by a couple of blokes with rod related buisnesses in and industrial area. Local police tried to shut it down, canning the band for playing without a permit and ticketing a young kid for riding his chopper bycicle without a helmet http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/mad.gif

Anyhow, most still had a great day and made it home safe thru some hellish weather.

Here's a sample of what attended....

Fuel stop early morning, halfway there..

Burgo took the trophy home this year with the T coupe. Sorry, but it and the roadster are 348's. The trophy has to be returned each year with a new addition bolted,welded or screwed on to it.As you can see from this photo,it is starting to get some weight. The other winners were Charlie for open (348 T roadster)and T.J for closed car(30 delivery).

[Retroline]

Sorry to hog the post but this was for Harpoon........

[primerkid]

Nice pictures and some great cars from down under, thanks mate !
Really dig the T coupé with 348 engine... http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif

Very nice pics. Thanks.

[aussiesteve]

Do you have any photos of Burgo,s 50,s Ford that he drove to the Rat Run several years ago?The boys on the board should get a good laugh out of that.

Cool pics JIMBOB. Mine are all on transparencies, so it'll be a while...

Skippy... you REALLY need to fix that camera! http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif

[K.S.K]

Great photo's Jimbob,Did your mate just buy the 32 coop?.
2 issues back i think of the Cruzin,was it forsale?.
The truck i think is a beford 46 to 49 .I had one and took
six inches out of the roof,measured the width of the floor
and placed the beford cab on a 52 cusso chassis.Photos of the truck were in the newsledder few years back.
looked really good but sold it at the folks fruit and veg
shop,they own 8 acres on a main highway south of perth.
Just park it and wait to sell it.

[Retroline]

This is for you aussiesteve, I have some of Charlie's nomad with no tailgate from the following year also,but this was Burgo's finest. Clear enough Brootal??

[Retroline]

and stand proud..

Shit a brick! I've never seen Burgo looking so handsome. Every time I see him he's wearing tracksuit pants, sloppy joe and a beanie! http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif
