Been to many of these and other HSV functions in the past...these days I have little interest for them, but if alot of you guys will be there and ' if ' I can get some time to myself on Sunday I'll rock up, it'll be a good oportunity to catch up with you all :)

[Nurb608]

Get down Ange, and bring that Vert of yours :D

[xplosv57]

Get down Ange, and bring that Vert of yours :D

Gee i guess that depends on the temperature, humidity, wind factor, if the moons align correctly and then maybe then the vert might come out! =P

Exactly right !!! :D

Hope all take note of the above, so I'm not pestered ' if ' I do get the chance to go and show up in something else - might drive the Mazda Tribute SUV :p

haha...you need to drive the vert otherwise your lines will dry up.

haha...you need to drive the vert otherwise your lines will dry up.

Don't worry, I take proper 'preventative' care of all my irregularly driven vehicles :)

I start her up and let it run for min. 20mins. min. once a fortnight, if not driven within that period and 'tickle' the throttle during that time, I also run through the gears on the spot and rotate the wheels to a different position, pump the brakes etc. etc...

Other tricks like separating wiper blades from windshield etc. to not leave marks are also done :)

Then it's back to hybernation :D

It's only covered 1,500km in the last 12 months, but I'll be taking it out alot more come this summer :)

That's the sheltered life its got due to 4 other cars I have, otherwise it'd be clocking up 30-35,000km per annum...

Did someone from here ring me yesterday? Had a missed call and a voice mail message but the message was all broken up so couldn't make it out. Thought it may have been someone from here asking about the open day?
