.,..it's February already!!....time for a non 32 blog...

As you know, my January got screwed up between visitors, and the rain event that killed my computer...anyway, back again to annoy you...here's the missing pic from visiting Maleny, this all steel 34 was first sold in N.Z., and brought to Aus when Graham Robinson made the swith many years ago......He has the neatest collection of models/diecast/signs/books etc.
Another stop was to see how Dave Fairbrother was going with all his projects..his Mercury coupe is coming together well!
Dave is also well into the restoration of this 1920s belgiun built rocket....my bad memory, and I've forgotten what it is...."Metallurgic" or something like that....Dave has been experimenting with nickel plating....and it looks good!
Another stocker just waiting to be rebuilt.........I'd be starting here first!!  haha.
Pride of the fleet will be this 1930s Rolls Royce. It's all there, but needs a major resto that will take years and gobble up a bit of money..(apparently, the moment you mention R.R., the prices for parts or labour  jump enormously!)
Next stop in my non 32 blog is a visit to Chris Dansie to check progress on his imported 'glass 33 five window. All the hard work is done, sort of, so expect to see it later this year.
Lots of innovative bits here, like the dash mounted shifter, under dash pull style handbrake, hanging pedals, all to make it a lot tidier inside. Now, there's your fix, Doug, of non deuce doins, so back to them next blog.
