A collection of pics for no specific reason

 Just a neat old pic...seen it before..but still good..
 Tailshaft too short....we can fix that!
 Reminder for coffee this Sunday, Feb 15 at Victoria Point
 Just park near Maccas Bakery
 Blatant add for my son...if you need soil/mulch/rock/stone...and live in the Redlands....or anywhere close to that..Give Chris a call on 0408 195952


 Went to Toowoomba swapmeet...had to call in and see the progress on Norm Snapes 32 Tudor.....very close to finishing..
 nice detail, as usual






 Just needs a bit of trim and it's done!


 I intended taking enough pics to do a story on the swap....sorry  you get 2.
 all this came in from Cunamulla..was sold first arvo!
 This didn't sell, but a genuine 32 shell and insert was $1250...Mal Case..0457 718424
 found a bunch of old magazines...lots of good memories in them..


 John Force and Gary Densham...haha...I raced the same meeting as them!!...they had Funny cars...I had a Noddy car..
 Love the stories..
 My old A bucket.....was quick in its day..
 even quicker was Col Dunn and Graham Watson....11 second street rods in the mid 70s were not that common...
 Malcolm didn't sell either of his Spinners at Toowoomba...Vicky is $15,500
Convert is $26,000......but he is real keen to move them on...0457 718424.

Rough week, last week....

 I write this blog with a few tears happening....last Thursday, my sister Elaine (on the left ) passed away....she had been battling health problems for a while, and now she has gone to be with the rest of the family....R.I.P. Elaine..xx
I am the last of my immediate family...the reality hits hard....RIP Dad, d. June '65, RIP Mum, d. June 1993, RIP Jen, d. August 2006, and now RIP Elaine, d. February 2015.

Thomsen name will go on, with Danny and Chris, and their sons Ryan and Eli....but it is still a very sad week for me....at my age, I am finding more talk of health than cars...so look after yourself out there....

Bayer Boys Brekkie Bash

 Randy and Herby wanted to host another coffee morning..luckily, we found a free weekend on Feb 1......once again, beautiful weather!
 Cars started rolling in well before 7am.....and kept coming....63 turned up!
 and it always achieves what I srt out to provide...a relaxed couple of hours to stand around and talk..catch up with new and old friends..
 Shane Springers highboy looks nice with the new single scallop style paint

 Birds are starting to roost around here..











Interesting stats on my blog...as of today, Feb 3, there has been 39,981 views of my blog since it started back in 2011....403 blogs so far....I've organised 30 coffee mornings, and I think it's been 10 mid week runs
