There were a few tools on the way home I noticed... I've never been cut off so much on one trip!

Great day out. We need to have more forums cruises I think, there just aren't enough, and next time I will have my Fairlane there for sure.

I took a few pictures... just uploading them now.

Great day. Niceish weather, Nice Fords and a Daddo, good company and all for a great cause. What more could one ask for??? Thanks to everyone involved and big ups to Spoolman and Minge for gettin it all happening and Woosha for the bangers.

That Turkey in the Kia mini van had me worried big time. Undertaking in the emergency lane at near I'd guess 150 km/h and swerving back on again, Over steering with the thing body rolling to the bejesus, thought he was gonna have a bingle for sure! I moved as far across as I could to get some distance between him and me. Then the cocko gets next to me and looks at me with a smile like he's a legend???? I just shook me head. F*@#wit get away from me!!!

Anyway I had fun and it was nice to meet a few more AFF members and hook up with familiar faces.

Cheers
Glenn

Great cruise. Even if a few of us got lost by following the wrong people. Good point is we managed to make up our own "private" cruise :hihi: Any way here's a couple of pics to start the ball rolling.

g'day all..
gotta say a huge thanks to you all for coming out today, and making it happen
A massive thanks too to our sponsors, Burgess & Bird, CDAA,Tryinhere, and Container Reconditioning services. Without the assistance from you guys we couldn't have done this.

And of course, my Wife Lori, Paul and Mel, and Stu and Kathy, outstanding work with the snags and drinks!

Congratulations to those that won trophies, they were well earned. I was supposed to do the judging with Pete (doc), but i looked at the first two cars (red peppers Escort and cherie and family's XY GT) and realised i had no hope of picking the better car from the two, let alone the other 32+ cars there lol..
I checked out Petes points tally and there was not much at all between most of the cars.

Thanks to you guys that came from out of town aswell, we had some from Nairne, Jac and Eamon from mount barker, and a car from Wallaroo too

I think all up we had 34 or so cars? i never actually got the chance to count them.. I didn't even get a chance to go in the actual fort when they opened it :(
I think i didnt sit down at all either all day lol

The Salvo guy was 'over the moon' with our toy contributions. There'll be some very happy kids this Christmas

I did a tally of the proceeds for the day.. all up after costs for some of the food etc was covered, we made $365.80! Gotta be happy with that, well done guys'n'girls

A quick apology too for my 'speeches' (start of cruise, trophy presentation etc).. I've always had a bit of a phobia of public speaking, so when i have to do it, i usually end up mumbling and rambling etc..
bit like this post haha! (thats also a severe lack of sleep)

so anyways, thank you one and all


i'm gonna go unload the truck and go play in the dirt with a couple of the SA flatblack battle truck brigade

What a great day and I'm sure that there will be many kiddies that will have a much better Christmas because of this.

I only managed to get a couple of pics, spent too much time talking rubbish
