Corowa 2014
Lots of people and vehicles here, some interesting ones too, seen here for the first time like Bob Schutt's Ford C11ADF, there's a F60S tipper, 3 cab 12s, two of them F60L and a C8 newly arrived from Perth.
I've been shooting interviews since I arrived this morning. There have already been some stories about difficulties along the way including a Nissan bonnet folding back over the roof and cracking a windscreen. There's been a little bit of rain but fine and warm (and dusty) today.

Some pics
The parade was brilliant, and by chance the Temora Aviation Museum's Spitfire Mk VIII was able to make a diversion via Corowa from Albury to Temora adding a thrill to the event.
Last night as the presentations were held at Ball Park the heavens opened and we had quite a storm. Attached a few frames from the video I've been shooting. Bob Schutt's Ford C11ADF was voted best of show and best Ford by attendees.

Out of Interest C11ADF
Quote:
Thank you for posting the photographs of Corowa and the information about the Ford C11ADF being judged the "best of show". Not having come across what a C11ADF before I did a bit of digging and found an auction site from back in 2009 that had a detailed description and numerous photographs of one. I cannot vouch for the vendor's accuracy. http://www.rmauctions.com/lots/lot.c...O09&CarID=r119 I have no relationship with the auctions or the vendor. I just found some detailed close-ups taken by Andy Bass of Ford C11ADF, 1941, located at the Canadian War Museum, Accessed 16th of March 2014 from http://svsm.org/gallery/FordC11ADF I wish a safe and trouble free journey home to everyone who attended Corowa this year. Maybe I will be able to visit it in 2015 :0) Kind Regards Lionel

My blitz finally made it back to Corowa and I had a great time. Now that I am home I have a list of repairs, Replace flange gasket, replace top radiator hose and replace a bolt that fell out of the mirror on the way home. Overall the blitz ran well and only used around fifty litres of petrol and half a litre of oil each way
 PS when I left Corowa early last year to attend a wedding who told me to get my priorities right? Hint he did the same this year
