Corowa 2009 -'Year of the Amphibian & Year of the Blitz 2'

[Hanno Spoelstra]

My, my, my, looks you all had a lot fun.

I have to hand it to you, Australian friends: you all know how to organise and enjoy a good HMV show!

Here's hoping our neutral European representative behaved properly. And of course he was taking that beautiful F15 with him to Switzerland. They should have at least one example of a proper truck with an engine running like a Swiss watch.

A big hand for Keith for restoring that truck in record time. Well done!

Hope to make it down to Corowa one day. . .

Hanno,
You will be made more than welcome when you come to Australia.


I will be looking out for you at Normandy 2009. We will have to make a time and place to meet.

Corowa for the next few years will be as follows:

2010 The Year of the Jeep.
2011 The Year of the British and European Vehicle
2012 The Year of the 6X6 (anything with 3 driven axles)
2013 The Year of the Trailer and Towed Equiptment.

So please put these themes in you diary for future planning.
Regards
Rick

What are the actual dates for next year? Diary wants to know.

Hanno, after Corowa you could do the same as Chris and experience "Year of the Sheep" in Yass which of course is every year there.

Not only that it's perpetual Year of the Blitz, Carrier and Jeep there too.

This is one the very original Gremlins with the Forum which has been making intermittent appearances since 2003. Good to see he's still around.

Everyone

I have finished my article about this year's Corowa. When it comes to Blitzs my knowledge runs out at "short Blitz, long Blitz". So could someone who knows them apart please have a look and I.d the variants and email me? You can reference to the pictures by right clicking which will give the actual picture name (number.jpg).

Keep in mind this is not a photo record, just Corowa as I did it.

Regards
Doug

I have just received a copy of the Corowa Free Press which was put out on Wednesday 18th March. There are 2 pages of great photos and a number of them have MLU members in them. There is a great photo of Sidney & Errol Holgate, Rick Cove, Ian Grieve, Tim Scriven and Bob Moseley with his dog.

Other coverage was done by Jeep Action Magazine, Truckin Life and Owner Driver magazine.

I received a phone call from Michael Bishop from Queensland. He was staying at Ball Park Caravan Park and on either Saturday night at the auction of Sunday lost his prescription glasses.They were in a black vinyl case with 2 liquid paper marks on the flap. If you know where they are please phone Michael on 0428 117282.

At the Corowa airport in 2008 a large bunch of keys were found. A couple of months later I received a call regarding some lost keys and was able to put the person in contact with Tabitha at the airport.
