it was a good turn out there at emerald.

i was out there on the weekend just taking a road trip holiday and stumbled across the show ( met a couple of guys from Marybough at the motel that told me about it) .
i spent most of the morning there and took a heap of piccys.

lots of good cars and a wide variety of fords from all eras.

Only use the car only weekends, mainly on trips away. Yes black wheels do look good with the seduce, car on the avitar is the previous citric xr. The ute belongs to a friend of ours, we are all members of the XR club of Qld.

will do, the range of FG falcons started arriving the other day for stock, they should be on the lot next week, they got a blue XR6 sedan, silver xt sedan, and a silver G6 sedan. Newhaven is also working on getting the FPV rights again, apparently shouldnt be too far away.

Pfffft, you've got as much chance as me old fella, but it would be good to have both the old girls there.

Octane, nothing to do with your thread mate, but are you just a mechanic in the service department? I want to have a rant to someone there but not sure who to talk to. I've tried to get a few things done there and have spoken to Michael Clarke, nothing seems to be any trouble when you talk to him but nothing ever gets done either.

Dave.
