Loved reading that story mate as the first time I had heard it. Thank you for repeating it for us young folks to this site. ;)

To try where there is little hope, is to risk failure.
Not to try at all, is to guarantee it!

You are in so much trouble now Dave :) :)
Cheers,

I didn't need to think or imagine it, for reasons that may now be obvious to all, even those who are in denial. :wink:

Looking at the pics from Cocomo's yesterday, http://www.ozrodders.com/forum/viewtopi ... =4&t=45827 I was thinking maybe '35/6 Fords and Model A's should be banned from events because there's so many of them it's like they are taking over, only saw one FJ Holden there yesterday. :wink: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

Hmmm, good question. I'll have to think about it.

Wouldn't want any of the Gods thinking I'm trying to take over now, would we? :lol: :lol:

Nah it'd make two FJs plus a 48/215, that is of course if the one near you in Croydon is FJ not 48/215. :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

That's the trouble with you Ford guys, a bit like Collingwood supporters, follow your own brand with one eye and the other remains shut so you can't see the forrest for the trees.

Oh boy, I'm on fire tonight! :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

Great story Carps and the old girl looked great on Sunday. Might have to get JJ to leave the Coupe at home and bring his FJ Ute to Cocomo's next time, so you can have some company, or I might try to get some of the Early Model Holden Club boys along, then you can be in Humpy Heaven for a morning. :D :D
