Yeah was a nice cruise this morning, a little early but was good once out there.Some new and familiar faces and shiny and well presented Fords, from old school to BA's, was good to catch up and talk Fords.
Here are some pics I took with the phone cam.








5.6 ltr in AU Wagon Engine Bay-Niiicccce :evil3:




PINK BITS- My favourite car on the cruise. I hate you Mark :




THE BEAST- Kevs psycho/crazy ute. I love it.


Cheers
Mick

Looks like a good cruise.

That 5.6 - does that mean somebody has done it before Chief?

And is that a sunroof I spy in Kev's ute? I want one!

Sorry we missd you cool65, Daniel, Andy and I waited until 10:35ish for late comers. We departed there for a spot under the Westgate for pictures and chat. We departed that spot for coffee, not far (less than a km) from where we originally met up.

Great pics Mick! You even managed to get one of me pondering how I could steal the V8! LOL!

A great morning indeed!

It was a good meet, when i finally got there!! I didn't end up getting to Station Pier till about 11am. But i made it over to Pier 35 in the end, thanks for the directs Woosh, even if you did have to repeat them six times!! :P Good to catch up for a coffee with some fellow ford fans.
By the way, cool65 was that you at Station Pier at about 11am as well in the Fairlane with the BA front end on it? If so that is an awesome looking car. Too bad i didn't work up the courage to go over and ask!

'twas me
I did about 3 laps of the station pier car park. Geez, I even came in off Todd rd. so a diversion to pier 35 would have been quicker than rockin' to station pier

well thanks for a good day gang its always good to catch up and have a yarn
sorry we missed you cool65 but with just escaping the parking dudes at mordiallock cars park we weren"t real keen on pushing our luck a second time,
$3.00 an hour is a bit steep . but under the bridge was free





When we ended up finding a open coffee shop Down with the Yuppys on Kerrferd rd we did look the part even if we didn"t shell out $20 for a burger WTF.......... :

Yes Ray you beat me to it. I will admit to that.

I reckon next time I am in Melbourne we got to the drag strip and send our 5.6L wagons down the gauntlet. That would be a site to see. :evil3:
