Went to the local sausage sizzle for brekkie. Pulled the chassis out and started to strip back and clean out rails, got an ice cream container full of grass and hay out of it WTF, wire brushed and Killrusted the bottom frame from one of the seats then too bloody hot so took kids to the pool. Just about to start dinner and crack a beer, Happy Australia Day everyone

We too got up late, got organised, and went for a cruis in the van

, pulled up at the park for a look at a display of Aussie cars, they rushed over and insisted we get the van into the park and join them so we put an aussie

on the window, sat down and chatted to fellow classic car lovers, lined up a xy GTHO drive for No1 daughter, for her 21st later this year for a carton of

We listened to the awards, was very hot and

nearly melted, heaps of interest in the van, came home at midday jumped into the pool to cool off then had a

with some friends. Had a nice long nap this arv. and now sitting on the lounge, contemplating another drive this arv.

PS blocker heaps of people liked the mysandman sticker we put on the van window before we left...

PSS happy Australia day...

Actually I don't think it is a HO just a GT, sorry an XYGT white with black stripes, he has had it since 1974....kept it in a shed, and has just registered it, our daughter loves Fords, we have a BF GT as our town car....she will get that after we go and our son gets the Sandman.....

Up at sparrows ... hit the road with BIL on a 4 hour dinki di aussie day road trip to save a pink dinosaur from extinction. We rescued a 1974 Orchid metallic HQ stato which is now resting peacefully in my back shed which my BIL plans to do a nice resto on.

Lamb chops have just come off the barbie ... yum yum it's din din time!
