I hope you got some pictures of Xan to show me & you sound like the very proud dad that you have every right to be.
It was probably more exciting than standing around at a divey service station for an hour, eating a pie & a sausage roll & looking at a bunch of Turkeys. [real ones, they were down the back]

My stock 1200 Coupe with auto aquitted itself well under the circumstances & I had a very pleasant chat with Ianey on the way out & back. Turns out that he lives only 3 blocks from where I spent my formative years.

We headed off home after the burnouts [see vids] since there were no other activities planned other than perhaps another race back to Windsor & possibly some more impromptu donuts on main roads, something that my Coupe struggles to do. I also had an extra 100 to 140K further to drive than most, & all in a sweet running stocker, so I needed a bit more time than the others to make it home.
It was a very plasant run home with the ever reliable A series purring happily all the way & if it isn't fast, then at least I got good mileage, .... Datsun Saves.

Summary.
Unfortunate weather, nice road with some good twisties, very ordinary destination.
I probably should have stayed at home.

It has been many many years since I drove my very pukka British car [1952 Morris Minor] through the area out to Windsor & couldn't believe the transformation. I didn't recognise a thing. The village of Kellyville was completely unrecognisable & the only reason I knew I was there was from a sign on the roadside. Unbelieveable.

looks like everyone had a good day. well done shaun on the skids when my sedan is finished i will be keen for some cruises but until then i think i mite miss a few of them.

skid 2

the vids

The cruise was ok.Some nice wet performance from some members and a few skids

Good to hear about the dancing competition. I piked from the cruise, wasn't feeling good, and the rain was miserable at the time I was going to leave.

I considered the prospect of driving around on a back road all day, and I had flashbacks to the drive back from phillip island. I didn't enjoy the trip home, with suspension dragging and a headaces from the stress.

My ironing got done though... I'll have to wait for some photos.

Just for the record...Xanthia got 2nd place in her dance competition!!!! much better then her one 2wks ago in which she only got an "Honourable Mention"

SHE WAS BRILLIANT!!!!

Pick up a hitchiker on the way up

Don't think I can make this one now, can't get anyone to look after my son, so Kirstie can't come and I don't wanna drive all that way by myself (I get bored).
