No drama's Michel. I wont bring food though. I'll have to duck into Narellan at some stage anyway for supplies because I've just been through my check list which reads -

car........... check

That's it :D

Really looking forward to seeing all you guys - I'll have camera and "Gleaming Beauty", but we will be spectating only.

BTW, photobucket is giving me no end of trouble. Again trying to work out how to transfer pics to the Discussion Board. Regards Styria

Hi abl567, what you're talking about ? He never did a thing, except to show off ! But Boy, did he make a success of it ! Big Time.

Michel, great stuff, thanks for everything - your driving was almost flawlewss, quite exhilarating to watch, but no way could I let you take 'Gleaming Beauty' for a spin.

I hope you understood. You know the usual - daily transport, took BB back to Prestons, David back home, me to work next day, just put new discs and pads on within the last fortnight, no insurance cover - please forgive me as I did not like to say no.

Big thanks also to SELfor50 and, shall I say so, his lovely girlfriend, as well as their friends all the way from Canberra (his mate had a body extraordinaire, a fab. sounding Commodore Station Wagon - and F - A - S - T -but no brakes after three laps, we also had bb with his 6.9 (sorry about your little problems), Ossie (Simon) and family all the way from Griffith and we also had the real pleasure of meeting up with Adytum (Tony) with his super sounding 450 SLC as well as Regie Wright in his 600 - boy, did he light up the first corner just about each and every time he came along TOTALLY out of control - in fact, he was the only one to show us how to spin without trying.

We also had abl567 (Anthony) with his well maintained and restored 6.3, and some club members (from MBCNSW) with their magnficently turned out 126 - 500 Couipe and another with a fabulous CLK55 AMG and Albie, Michel's wife look alike son with a very, very nice and efficionado Mitsubishi EVO 10.

I've probably left a few people out and to those I apologize. What a grand, and enjoyable day-enjoyment and camaraderie at its absolute best. Thanks everyone, and I mean heaps. Regards Styria

Ah look, I could try and whinge, and yes, fair enough, I wimped out on medical grounds, but looking at those photos I know I missed a great day's fun.
Michel would I am sure have looked full-on pushing the big red thing around on smoking tyres, looks like Tony had his SLC wound up, and a 6.3 driven in anger would be something to see.
I know SELfor50 will try to have a go at me for not turning up,
(and tell him, I still have those negatives.........and the boy scouts......
the large cucumber......and I will turn the lot over to the lovely Julie-Ann if he gives me grief) but if ever again, and wherever, I'll be there.
I had an exciting day watching paint dry, well actually deck stain, and while Mrs G.M. did the hard work, I watched.
I even gave my old helmet a polish after gathering dust for years.
