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.

Hi Rick,
When I wrote "un-registered", I was referring to vehicles or trailers not registered in with KVE for the event and not road registrations.
Regards,
Richard

I have just altered the vehicle list as I was informed that there were 4 mokes not 3 at the event. So now we can say 184 vehicles. Hopefuly next year if participants see a vehicle which doesnt have one of our vehicle numbers they will ask them to go to the Site Office or see us on Saturday at Bangerang Park or the Showgrounds.

Just a note on Charlie Anderson.

I went to his memorial service yesterday. It was quite a large hall with seating for a few hundred, people were standing all around the walls and there was a large crowd outside who could not get in. Good wake with lots of laughs. I was told numbers between 400 and 800 but whatever it was, Charlie sure had a lot of friends. Of that X00? I guess most of them would have been helped by Charlie either physically or with advice at some time.

His two sons now have the huge task of trying to stocktake all his vehicles, equipment and workshop machinery. A great loss to the old vehicle movement.
