Title: Shaping up to be a good'un.
Post by: amigov6 on 24 July 2009, 20:22:24: Sat in the pikey palace @ Winterton Showground steam rally (north of Scunny). Barbie on the go, drink flowing & the fridge has finally got cold! Cortina looking peachy after a serious valet ready to show in the arena tomorrow but there's some much older vehicles showing up already. Not to everyones taste i know but i'm like a kid in a sweetshop at these events! :)

Post by: amigov6 on 26 July 2009, 21:26:27: Hi John. See where i went wrong now regarding this & Skrunties music thread. Think i dropped the cursor in the wrong place so it hung onto the Ford Classic piccie.
Lovely motor though, you could buy a mint facelift Elite for less coin! 8-)
