Wagga All Ford Day - November 4th 2006

[b2tf]

Ah well, after an hour long dip in the pool the skin isn't burning so much.


One word - THANKYOU! to all who travelled, entered, helped, sat around, ate food, got their car/shirt/photos/elsewhere signed by Dick Johnson, organised displays and just made the day go so smoothly. I always get really embarrased when people thank me because in reality I'm only one very small part of a group of very dedicated people.

To mrs b2tf, minge, russ, gasolane, mygt05, ba bakes, crazy-au, actrob and any of our other helpers I have forgotten (sorry), a huge thankyou. It wouldnt have come together without the help from you all (there's only so many witches hats I can carry!)

Congrats to ORSM Ford Cruisers on taking out Best Club Display, I was with Dick when he saw the display and he was really impressed. It was a very tight contest with most awards coming down to a single vote.

Well done also to Mr Bling Bucky who took out the most promising example award, the stripes and big wheels all pay off mate! :ticking:

And a very special thankyou to Jai and Corinna (XC460/JCS Motorsport) who were fantastic on the day. The Killer Tomato looked (and sounded!) superb and I don't think I have ever met a bloke as dedicated and friendly as Jai. From handing out free balloons to engine startups and taking part in our judging, Jai put in huge hours and really epitomised to me what car shows are all about.

Highlights for me would have to be:

Getting DJ's sig on my ute
Driving the Accor Premiere Supercar down the main street of Wagga (oops!)
Jai's engine startup
Seeing the display as we drove back in from the airport
The promo girls :
Seeing everybody looking great on the day

I'm told we had around 135 cars on the day which is a fantastic turnout, also around 3000 spectators. Minge also consumed 46L of drinks.

Our promo girls worked approximately .0001 hours (some know what i mean)
Dick Johnson signed 4.6 million autographs, 280,000 shirts and spent 400hours shooting the breeze with numerous grateful owners :

I hope to get some pics up in the next few days, after I get some sleep!

Thanks again to all.
