Telecaster wise I'm loathe to fly one both ways :roll: so I might have to buy one when I'm there....

PA, dunno yet.


Few understand what I'm trying to do but they vastly outnumber those who understand why...................

That's a good idea, although have you run that past the person who is picking you up at the airport
However, Telecasters are like motorbikes
19 isn't enough  :-D

Woodeneye, indeeedy,Funny you should mention that c***face , just the other day I decided to make some patterns to cut out a hollow-body with an f-hole of 3mm Aluminium, I'll weld and polish it then give it a little distressing....could be good, might go out in the recycling.... .....God bless Leo's bolt in necks..... She said" put it on the list"....this is the mystical list that includes all of my bright ideas which are listed in order of importance starting with "wedding".....BTW the "buy another Telecaster" idea has had provisional approval , I just have to stay under the "cap" ...that is I have 8, I'll sell the one my nephew is currently using for what I paid for it , that'll buy a better one in O.G land and I get free freight .....let's just say I'll be going in light, coming out heavy.

I look forward to meeting you all. :)

"Going in light and leaving heavy", I resemble that remark, many a baggage handler has cursed me (indirectly) for that very reason.
Just happy to be here. :-D

But we're healed up and ready to go, now we just have to get the car put back together again. ;)

Just got word yesterday that there'll be a few more cars going from Australia...one of our faves....

Wayne Pickles' HK Monaro "Marilyn" it ran 217 last year.




and Norm Bradshaw's taxi...499 and a BIG turbo, hasn't seen big speeds yet


Norm ran this for years with John Dent


And of course Norm Hardinge will be going back with his black '34 roadster
