| What do you need to do to your car John ?
There can't be a months worth of work surely !!
I have a spare ticket available. The NSW club has 1st option if someone misses out but if anyone from here wants to go, let me know.
Otherwise I'll hand it back to the Motorfest organisers.

andydraper@hotmail.com | Hi Andy.
Officially, it is too late to get tickets. Entries closed back in November.
Are you a member of a Minor club at all?

It was a good day. Great to meet you John, and Scott and Andy and plenty of other people.
My first MotorFest. It gives a real buzz seing a bunch of people standing around your car chatting and pointing at things.
I wish I was in a better state of health to enjoy the day fully, there's always next year - I might even have a chance to polish the '49 before then! ha I'm sure I'll have done lots of little jobs on the old girl by then. It kinda felt weird as I've only had the '49 for a week!
I had a bit of a stumble on the way back home, trying to keep up with a fellow club member on the M2, and we came to an abrupt halt off an exit (I hadn't used that one before and I think Derek might have forgotten how old and original Maggie is). There was a bit of smoke from under the car, and a squeaky noise under the bonnet. So I pulled over to have a look. A couple of blokes pulled over in an old Jaguar to help, mighty nice of them, I sent them on their way as I was alright. The fan belt is shot and noisy, and there is grease leaking from the NS front wheel bearing. Gawd knows how old the grease is, that's on my long list of service items on a vehicle that hasn't been driven for 10+ years. All in all, she performed admirably! Now I've just got to get back on my feet and get through the jobs on the '49. Saturday wore me out!
I admire you coming all the way from Dubbo. I'm at Bilpin if you ever need a hand on Bells Line (if you come this way).
Cheers,
Drew.
