Thanks to all that added to a top day with the mySandman crowd at AHD.
Both waggin and panno are rapidly cooling down in the shed after a safe haul home.
We were however gestured to by some uncooth local rif-raf at ther Lithgow sevro, only later to be passed (and further gestured at) by the same above said rif-raf traveling at at least 190 km/ hr. (I can only guess, I was too shocked to glance at my own speedo). Both were in vans (the scoundrels), a yelowish one with a trailer and a burgandish one with side-pipes (yes -side pipes!!). I was temped to pursue them and give the a bit of what-for but, um well, er.... I couldnt keep up :shifty:
Good to sit and hear the stories of the rides on Sunday. I was nursing a bit of a cold and was beginning to dread the drive home but a good walk around the 700 odd vehicles on site helped clear the head.
Had a double check of the swap-meet but failed to find anything too exciting. I did find a left-hand side bumper over-rider, but buying it would commit me to finding the right hand side one too. Rod was so right as identifying the mid-80's volvoi wagon for $600 as being the bargin of the day. (Weld up the rear doors and cover up the rear side windows, and it's almost a panno, sorta'.)
I sat and looked at that leopard while having a coffee in the back of agrOs van, thinkin' "whatever does it for you" (not knowing the whole story). But also witnessed a string of ladies lining up for a photo with it. Maybe theres something in a large plush feline show-prize in the back of your van after-all!
Well done to R&J for their award, also to Damian for car of the day. Imprssive. I can now put a face to the driver of that throaty panno that I have waved at out on the road.
Finally thanks to the group for inviting us to park in with you, Maybe starting afresh the timeless arguement of whether wagons can join the panelvan club... what if we get curtains?....
