 wow...this has the "look".....

A-Bombers Wild Hillclimb at Devils Peak 2011.wmv

Did you miss me....!

 In no particular order...this sums up my last few weeks....I hurt my knee somehow about 2 weeks ago, and as a result..I have to have a minor repair done....before I head off to USA later in April...so during my recovery...I should be able to catch up with some "blogs"..

 Also, trying to think ahead for Newcastle...Street Rod Nats are only just over 4 weeks away now..so time to check over the old sedan before the journey..

 I also took a week off to stay with friends in Port Douglas...left the storms of Brisbane to have a week of perfect weather up north..

 as you can see...I rested my damaged knee.....the Ramada was great for relaxing...

 Here's about the only scenic pic I took....

This pic is here for no particular reason...just thought it was cool

 So..no work on the deuce coupe for last two weeks..been doing yard work after that storm....blocked drains..tree branches down...grass was a foot tall after we got back from Port Douglas...maybe might get to work on the 32 this coming week, as after that..I have to rest the knee..

Can't remember if I posted this...here goes.. found this old pic the other day...Les W and Jown W in my old A bucket.....1973..

That's the other thing I have been busy with ..planning for my Texas trip....that will be here in no time....I like to try ro plan where/when we will be each day, as this 3 week trip is full on with events and catching up with some US friends..

Epic Barn Find in Midwest, Superbird, Talladega, Charger 500 and MORE.

Another legend gone way too soon...R.I.P., Geoff Paradise

 Some of you out there  knew Geoff...to others, this man was an icon in the Australian motorsport publishing industry, and his untimely passing reminds us all of how fragile life is, and how important it is to live out life to the fullest, never putting off anything, as you don't know what can change in an instant..as you can see, Geoff had a bad car accident, and fought for a few days, but passed away Monday 16/2.

 Some of us knew Geoff from the early days of drag racing and hot rodding, but his rise to publishing fame came when he turned a small magazine called Van Wheels into the largest selling auto mag in Australia, "Street Machine"

Geoff went on from Street machine to bring lots more to the automotive press, including Performance Street Car, Caged heat, Fast Fours and Rotaries, National Drag Racer, Coach and Bus, as well as others....Geoff even travelled to USA in the 70s for a brief stint working on iconic US "Hot Rod" magazine. In recent times, we re-connected through social media outlet, "Facebook", and had a few brief conversations over the last year...he even found a 1973 Indooroopilly Hot Rod Show iron-on that he sent me for my collection...we talked about his projects, his freshly built hemi, his C10 pickup...all now never to be finished because of an instant moment, a trajic car accident that robbed us of a great man...

 

Geoff...you published magazines in the various sports we love...what you loved....condolences are sent to your family and friends.........you will be missed.....Rest In Peace, mate!
