Kiwanis All Ford Day '08 - Page 2

Go baby Go · 12-02-2008, 03:54 PM

Hi Everyone,

You will be receiving an email confirming (read: reminding!) Kiwanis on Sunday.

Rumour has it the marquee class has been scrapped? So, this means that Robert G's car will be back in with us and not in the separate area.

Meeting times.

Shell Westgate. 6:45am
I'll be there –

Ford Factory- old chassis plant carpark, opposite Ray’s Outdoors, Princes Hwy Geelong 7:30am
We thought this would be easier for those who live closer to Geelong-Brute6 is the contact. His number is 0418 107056 if you have any questions.......

Sorry guys and girls ..... we won't be able to make it there for the day as I have only just today started working ..... bloody Nurses Board took their sweet time (3 months) and has caused us some financial discomfort. Our current priority is to have enough money to play with on our Gold Coast trip in 4 or 5 weeks time ....... so what spare dollars we have aren't going to be used for accommodation out that way. The 4am wake up to get to a meeting point for 7am is probably not going to work for us this time ...... I struggled to stay awake on the drive home after the last early start with us going to Phillip Island

:

We will try to come down during the day because we both really want to see all of Gods greatest creations ..................................... now now .... I am talking about the Fords ;)

Hey Stranger!

That's no good, but is totally understandable.......... hope to catch up on Sunday......

XRNIL8 · 15-02-2008, 09:21 AM

There is still a glimmer of hope ..... ;) ...... we may be right to meet up in Geelong .... fingers crossed .... save me a spot

and we are most likely going to be in the AU ....

Great event today, can't believe how busy the roads were on the way home and the traffic heading the other way.
Here's a couple of pics.

XRNIL8 · 17-02-2008, 10:47 PM

I have a few shots to add too .......

Again ...... we were really impressed with the quality of the clubs members and their cars ...... always so many really nice members to chat to, including anothe AU owner or two from today ...... damn I am glad I joined such a great club.

Go baby Go · 17-02-2008, 11:05 PM

Hi Guys,
Hey, there's pics of my little toy....!!!!!

Thanks to everyone who came along today.

Congratulations to Keith and Joe who took a clean sweep of the Best AU-BF class. Joe was runner up, and Keith was the winner.

There were a few purchases from the auction by club members - we thought XRNIL8 may have had to ditch his current card door for the FPR one he bought! And to see Murray Carter offer the shirt off his back was great - he is 77 and still races and is in fabulous shape.

I'll post pics up tomorrow - it's been a very long day!

It took us over an hour just to get to the engine plant in Geelong - wasn't the traffic through there fun

: (mind you there were a few old girls on the side of the road from the heat)
Well over 2 hours back to Moorabbin to drop off the GT-P, then still had to head home! AUVXRIII you certainly beat us !

GRNKPR · 18-02-2008, 09:14 AM

Traffic was a joke stopped off for a couple of cold ones after esky run out in the first 3/4 of hour in the traffic !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Organisers need to have a better look at getting people in quicker

Word is they will be having a pre register but i think the same lines will apply

Go baby Go · 18-02-2008, 10:17 AM

Okay- here's some more- trying not to double-up on pics.....

Driving down....

Now that is a beautiful car........ poor old Jack behind me must have wondered what I was doing- i was too busy drooling at this to stay on the speed limit!

Rob G was in the elite marquee class....

A sea of blue...........

Murray Carter literally offering the shirt of his back - he's still racing at the tender age of 77.........

Keith and Joe took a clean sweep.... this is Keith's 2nd award at Kiwanis....

One thing i doscovered on Saturday, was the streaks over ALL my windows... a thorough scrub and glass polish still didn't lift them - people yesterday must have been thinking "she could have at least cleaned the windows properly"

:
It appears it's etched in to all windows- the alkaline wash they use in pre-delivery has stained EVERY window. Off to Ford today for the 3,000km check and that is now #1 on the list........

Nicely set out display you had, and all your cars looked great.
Can't say the same for our area- a little tight with such lonnnnng doors on our cars.
Just to pre-warn you, you may have another AU XR joining your ranks.

KOUPE76 · 20-02-2008, 09:06 PM
