Redland Bay Pub lunch run today..

 I was crackin' the whip on the Telstra linesman trying to get this phone line/internet webby thing fixed, so I could get to the pub to meet the Gold Coast crews lunch run..
 I bolted from home at 11:30....drove all of 15 minutes, but...Only six here...that's ok, thought there would be more.

 DC full of fun as usual..
 The rest of the Brissy guys turned up at 12 anyway...so a dozen cars and about 30 people made it a nice get-together after all.
Now...just have to decide where to take my mid week lunch run on April 24...

at last...10 days without the interweb thingy...now time to blog!

 I had heard about this OLD SCHOOL car show that is held first Saturday night of the month, over at Morayfield, so decided to head off early for the 5pm start..
 The pics tell the rest...over 800 cars I was told, and thousands of spectators...
crowd starting to build..
Real early commodore....

hundreds of cars I have never seen before...

Is this 32 ever home!!
Lots of Fords there..

Don't ya just love it!
Moving from Masters to a bigger location next month.


Tuff enough?



Lots of VWs add to the show..
Now this was a good swap....


Still they come...overflow had to park up the hill..


Long way back down to my parking spot at the other end!
It was like sideshow alley at the EKKA

Pantera power..
This was nice!
'nother deuce sedan I hadn't seen before..
