Yeah Gerry, fitted and looks sweet. Your a legend.

I have fitted new brake shoes but still waiting for radiator to get back from repair still got heaps of time........
Was going to give the rear bearings a few pumps of grease as they have been making some not so pleasant noises for some time now but it seems that Donkey is a little older and longer in the tooth than most others and it turns out that his rear end is non-greasable
Not to worry, I'll just pretend that the noise is coming from the radio that I fitted under the dash, that doesn't actually work but I thought it looked the part.....as you do.

Thats how Donkey and I roll (squeak squeak squeak GRIND squeak) and besides, the view is much better if you live life on the edge

do you want to bring donkey out friday and see if we can get some grease in him, the offer is still open for lizzies race car radiator if you get desperate. you can stay here friday night if you need to

I've got a pretty full day on friday working out at my brothers place so not likely to have time to bring donkey up so he'll have to squeak and moan all the way south and I'll most likely crash at his place for the night, as tempting as it is to start the trip a day earlier and head up to your place to start from there.
I might however need to take you up on the offer on the radiator if they don't give me mine back tomorrow. They swore black and blue I'd have it back today but it never happened.
I'll give you a call tomorrow and if need be I'll head up after I finish work for the day (working in Bardon atm so will be bit of a hike with traffic and all) Hope to have a short workday tomorrow but will see how it goes, will let you know.

3 sleeps to go

Well the radiator is finally back and fitted so I took Donkey for a burl around the block a few times in the rain, damn we had fun.
Brakes feel much better too but I may need to give them a good bleed to get full peddle.
I did get a little impatient while waiting for the radiator to get back so I had a little play with Donkey's rear springs.....
PLAY meaning CUT + I removed his rear bumper because it was too shiny and it was just dead weight, never did get around to fitting his 2 and a half foot long gear shifter though.

Can't wait for Saturday morning.............bring on the dots!

Hey Guys,
Have a safe and fun road trip I'll be bringing up the rear of the Qld contingent.
I have a some new key rings to bring along to suit your unique cars
Cheers, Lewis

Thanks Lewis, you have a safe trip as well, see you there.

Lewis. Do you have any of the pieces that hold the trim in the side window . Someone told me you make them If so bring a couple please . Gricey.

All, be aware and careful, I have been told by our Agent in Bega there are a lot of road works between Bega and Merimbula.
Yesterday they had laid a lot of lime on the roads, THEN IT RAINED, you can imagine the mess cars got into passing over them yesterday.

they ripped our road up wednesday and went home caue it was raining we cant even leave home without a mess
thanks for the heads up Dave.
It's hard to believe in 24hrs we will be on the road some of the convoy have already left home.

Safe trip to all you Dots and dashers, See you all soon
