Boys Day Out...our visit to East Coast Race Cars

 so..most of us met at the PB Yatala...about 20 or so..looked like a good day for a drive in the country...

 Destination was Craig Lockharts East Coast Race Cars shop at Wonglepong...where's that!!...1/2 way up the mountain out the back near Tamborine...top spot to live and work...

 always high calibre cars on the go here...

 and the guys were busy as beavers soaking up all the cars/parts..in the end, i think we had 28 turn up..even Boydie came all the way from Broadwater..just a 2 hour drive....

 what these days are all about...talking cars and whatever..

 left my Tudor at home today and rode shotgun in the captains 40 coupe..that little flattie gets along now with the 5 speed overdrive box..
