Default Total Vehicle list is 183

I have just made an adjustment to the vehicle list as I was told Bernie Brooks had a Dodge Command Car at Corowa this year. One thing which is irritating is that people have arrived at Corowa without their vehicle and have put it on the attendance list. The other thing I have noticed by looking through my photos and photos on forums is that there are people who don't come and Enter their vehicle so in the future KVE would prefer people to preregister or if they turn up without preregistering come over and add their details to the attendance list.

This official vehicle attendance list is now 183. I will post the trailed items list shotly.

Thanks Jan, that could mean that there was one trailer for each 2.23 vehicles. But, there were 5 vehicles towing 2 trailers, 3 gun tractors with limber and 25pdr. gun, one Jeep with 2 Jeep trailers and one ex-Norforce Toyota troopy with 2 trailers, so the equation comes down to a trailer on every 2.37 vehicles.

The ultra rare Ford S1. Scout Car was a sight to see. One of only 2 known to exist. (not a clear photo as it was nearly dark.)

What a great theme 2013 had.

Thanks Keith. It wasnt put on the list unfortunately. I am hoping Euan will send me a report on getting all his equipment to and from Corowa as he put in a huge effort this year.

Make that 3 Corio trailers. Colin Young also had one behind his F1 Inter 6x6 tipper.

It makes it difficult when people don't provide us with these details. I am amazed at some people who don't even know the year their vehicle was manufactured. One vehicle was signed in as a GMC US6.

Hi Rick,
I helped Jan collate the entered vehicles and trailers, and trailers especially were often lacking in details of make or type, so quite possibly counted in the total. Photo evidence from other forums is showing a few un-registered vehicles popping up.

We even had a 1943 Hotchkiss MB jeep entered !

regards, Richard

Richard, I do not think that there were many, if any, unregistered vehicles on the road on Saturday. All of the ones I checked on had had an Unregistered Vehicle Permit issued to them. I had one for my trailer from Vicroads. There were a few trailers which fitted into the unregistered category. The concrete mixer and bomb trailer to name two.

Bob Schutt with the Ford S1. carried his on his tray truck as he had not obtained an unregistered vehicle permit for it.

This is something which KVE Inc. must keep an eye on.

Regards Rick.
