Whilst storm clouds have been dumping south of the border, it was a crisp clear day up here and the northern brethren convened to partake of the primary purpose of Typ901 - a great drive on a great day with a great bunch of people. We had a truly fantastic turn out for this run, organised by Justin and Dennis.
We had thirteen cars - an unlucky number to be sure, so inevitably there had to be a casualty - unfortunately, ... moi. Big problem with electric fuel pump - I dont know exactly what yet but at a catch-up stop I noticed fuel spewing from under the car. It looks maybe like the main supply line had split (cloth covering soaked with fuel) or maybe the pump itself. So a $400, 100km tow back home whilst the neat remaining dozen blatted off into the glorious winter country side and I imagine a very pleasant lunch in Berrima.
Aside from that, The Crossroads pub carpark was a truly spectacular spray of P-car colour (see pix). It was wonderful to see some new faces, partners, and some great cars. I would have got everyones details and reported more thoroughly had I managed to make lunch. But to mention a couple of new members and vehicles, Chris and Leonie Morkane and their super ex David Cottee 73S (welcome guys, hope you enjoyed the day), Nick Taylor's ravishing Bahia Red 2.2S (why do I like that car so much?), Ryan's new 73E and a beautiful recently restored Irish Green T whose owner I met briefly but didnt get a chance to catch up with. Emile Jansen also somehow apparated into the drive line after we had departed, in a very mean race car which I was dying to find out more about.
I'm sure there will be more pix of the rest of the day from the rest of the bunch. I have to say, it was really fantastic to have such a great turn-out, way past critical mass and an encouraging sign for the future of Typ901 in NSW.
cheers
