For those of you on Facebook have a look here.
Not sure exactly what's going on with the car, but with 3M and Car-o-liner being thanked, I wonder if they're going to reassemble the body? Will be an interesting story. https://www.facebook.com/90105385690...1864643494451/

Nice picture. Took the old Hume back from Violet Town to Chiltern this morning, wouldn't want to be pushing it in a HO as there were a few of Mexican bubble gum machines taking pictures.

Nice sleepy little town. Sleepier since Hub 62 café closed. Howlong's not much bigger.

There used to be rumours of race H.O,s running the Hume at 160 rather than the 140 odd n the photo
