Yes, I live. And yes, I haven't posted in some 12 months. And finally, yes I'll be at the meet.   

This is mainly for those that are heading to the meet from the south. There's a quite a big section on the M1 that is having roadworks. They're finally widening the next section of the freeway to 3 lanes each way. This is from just north of the Tuggerah interchange right up towards the Doylson interchange. That's 12 klm for those that are counting. This means the speed limit has been brought down from 110 k's to 80k's. And as I live/work local, I have cause to run this gauntlet regularly (mainly due to work, I try my best to avoid it when I'm off work). I can tell you the NSW Highway Patrol have taken to the reduced speed limit with gusto & much joy. Not that I've been caught (the most use I get out of cruise control), but I've seen plenty 'sponsoring' the policemans ball.

I meant to post this a little early this week, just kept forgetting.

Well I'm all back safe and well 2,600KM later.
Thanks to the organizers.
Great to catch everyone again. Good weekend all round.
Too much port Saturday night but.
Echuca is confirmed for 2018 and I'll be working on that soon.
Don't expect the rain. Expect bugs. Soon as I got near home I had more bugs on the car than Windows Vista.
Sorry I didn't bring the reek this year but as I did a conference in Sydney I really couldn't.
Although it would make an awesome youtube moment watching a Valet parking a Eureka. (particularly mine)
Thanks
Peter

Hi all, I had a great time thanks to all those who attended. To Darren, Ron and their family members must go the strongest thank you, with out you we would have nothing. Mark got me safely back to his home leaving me just 1 hour to get home (haven't I got an easy life). The Victorian reek owners who did not go missed an opportunity to wash their cars inside and out. It rained for 900Km. of our 1050Km. trip up to Tarro. Trip home was fine for a 1 day dash. Only 360 sleeps till Echuca.

Regard Morris.

Thanks to All who attended this years meet
I do hope everyone had a great time , a BIG Thanks to Ron & Kris and Tina & Brendon for putting up with my stress levels.
And also to Mary for getting up early to help with breakfast each morning but I'm sure she was out to prove me wrong  .
Charlie from Autobarn said to give everyone a big thanks from him & Barry as well , as they enjoyed hosting the Saturday display.
I trust everyone had a safe trip home from the meet.
