Year of the Blitz II - who is coming?
And amphibious Jeeps of course...
OK, who is planning to bring their CMP this year to Corowa. The record to beat is 34 which was set in 2002 (so long ago!) From this small corner of the globe Euan is planning to make a couple of semi-trailer trips with: His CGT9, my C60S, my FGT9 and Chris' F15... I know there are a couple of cab 12s planned from Ganmain, the Yass boys will excel as usual, Hugh Thompson is bringing his ambulance, Salesman will have project Phoenix, Robert Pearce will have his C15A, just to name a few. Also hopefully (and perhaps) Len Watkins will bring his cab 12 FGT, although I don't know it's current status. Please add to the list... this is going to be a very special year.

I have received a number of entries from Blitz owners. I wonder how many we will end up with? Shortly I will be able to provide you with a better list of vehicles attending this year. With less than 9 weeks to go I am sure there are many people working to get their vehicles registered or on a permit. Remember to send me your entry and $10 entry fee by the end of February to receive a complimentary memento package.

But does that mean though Tony's will be prettier than yours?

Quick Question
What condition does the vehicle have to be in to be counted ?

The vehicle can be in any condition. It is good to have vehicles in various states of restoration. We won't be doing another Guinness Book of Records attempt like we did in 2002 as it requires someone to focus on meeting more requirements than in the past. I am wondering if we can achieve a total of more than 50 Blitz's. I have heard of a number of people who are busy trying to get their vehicles on the road and wish you all the best.

Condition? Who said anything about condition...
There were several non-runners last time, thats so you can see what they look like underneath. If I can get the crankshaft (which means clutch, Gearbox, radiator etc) back in I will be there in yet another incarnation of my C60S. Unfortunatley this is not all that close to the top of the list, and I have to wait until my finger grows back. (Note, I do not write the list). So will have to see. Rich.
