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.

How can a cab 12 be anything but pretty?

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.

The Murray River is up at the moment. I was there last week and I took a few photos. Let's hope a few people with amphibious vehicles will attend too.

Fantastic. Now it's back to mere severe drought conditions.

Default Condition

Hi all - Phoenix is now at Colins for the track work and I am awaiting new files from National Archives thanks to Ian Fawberts diligence. However, irrespective of where we get with Phoenix, she will be there even if we have to tek screw, cable tie and/or duct tape the tracks on. Of course, having said all that, we still have to be aware of Murphy.

Bob

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.
