OK there it is. 9.30 meet @ Maccas as above. Googled it and it has wireless so we can log onto Luft for a quick fix too!

A very belated follow up on the Berry run...no way an indication of my review! Many thanks to all for making me welcome on my first Northern Alliance mission.

I thought I'd get some of my pics of that day before posting (but 3 weeks later!?). Like others, didn't shoot much, and only 1 shot of the MLNA cars! There's a few following.

Moving forward...

Fish, I like the calendar idea and will assist however I can (I've got cars, many accessories stored, but only one tattooed girl...always looking to expand the collection tho!)

pre Nats night Pizza run, what I know: cruise to Dino's Pizza. "Meet at M4 Macca's westbound at 5.30 pm, or Damo's Monster Garage at 6pm." Trying to start an annual Nat's Eve event and looking for a big 1st year start. Includes the Speed Bump Hit Squad, DSK, and ...? I hope to go (unless trapped under a car)

Sunday, I hope to have 2 cars and a swap meet stall, so a morning cruise will be out for me this time :(

Hope to see you all soon. Thanks again for Berry.

Hi boys, once again a hoot of a meet with all its bells, whistles, rats and rods. Getting bigger and funnier every year, all credit to the organizers and people that work selflessly to make a day like this happen.

It was good to catch up with the likes of Dave, Dan, Paul, Nafe, LJ, Gary etc. and meet Sam and FONZ....eeeeeeyyyyy!!!, looking forward to the cruise to Valla guys, its gonna be a blast, would love to have a ride in Sam's beast.

Until the next monthly....... meet that is.

PS already started on the flamed polka dot PORRAGA???

Likewise re the Nats. Good to see you all again, as well as new faces (only 'new' to me of course: FONZ....eeeeeeyyyyy!!!, LJ), including some that had been online correspondence only to date (Sam).

See you next month or elsewhere.

Cheers,
vince4valla

P.S. Nice plate selection fish, seems the PORRAGA conversation is continuing, I might have to stock up on NOS Whale Tails after all (you're laughing now...but it's only fun until someone gets hurt. I should know... once I said in passing "hey, you know a really ugly red beetle with shitloads of shiny Billet everything would be really, really cool"...and look where that got us!)

it's starting to get hot...not a sniff for a year and now they all want it...

Might have to bump this to it's own thread. "Porrera Watch", or "Whale 'Tales' and other Sunbug Spy Stories".

(but always: 'each to their own', as I have questionable tastes myself!)
