    Yeah, Jimmy excellent coverage. Thanks for taking the time to put all that together. Captures the whole week-end by the look of it.

    I've got one sittin' up the back yard, but it's a bit to far gone to ship half way around the world for someone to fix up :):).

    Well Jimmy I'm in the same boat as Al. It wasn't until Blake posted his very flattering pic of you that the penny dropped and I realised it was you driving Mike's T. I thought that being one of the HAMB historians that you would have been a wise old bugger like me but you're only a young bloke! Had me fooled. Like Al I would also have liked to say gidday. Thanks for the pics and I hope to catch you at Chopped this year.

    We had a River City get-together tonight, and the concensus was the same as your view. Old head on young shoulders.

    Some great looking cars! But those steering wheels are freaking me out. I feel like I'm stuck in a bad episode of The Twilight Zone...

    Very impressive cars and thanks for sharing your experience.
     
  15. We have a very hard time putting runs like this up here, quite a feat down under! Thanks for sharing!
     
  16. Hi Jimmy. Great pictures. I wish I'd taken a few more myself. It was a pleasure to meet you and have you drive the little T while I read the map, watched the scenery and worked the right rear brake with the hand brake lever ;). The T now has four new wheel cylinders in it as of about thirty minutes ago. :) I was more than totally bushed when I got home 7am Monday morning. So much fun to be had, there wasn't enough time for sleep over the weekend. Hope to catch up at one of these shows again.

    Get stuck into your roadster, man!

    Wow fantastic pictures Jimmy:cool::cool: Blew me away to see Chris`s old coupe in the first pic. Also loved the red 46-7 ford 1/2 ton. Just collecting the parts to redo mine with flathead and T-5.
