Just  a teaser for now as I have around 4-500 photos to process and I couldn’t bring them all with me on one day as I ran over my USB Flashdrives a while ago…

OK, so I’ve been slack recently in that I went outside the realms of automotive interest to travel a cumulative total of 1300 odd kilometres to attend the Faith No More – Second Coming gig recently held in CHC.  Despite this however, on the journey up the country I took note of the placing of a few cars on the side of the road and in paddocks and other such thing and during my return voyage I took the time to stop and snap photos where possible of said cars with my “backup camera”.  The results are as such;

Hampton Downs – Drift

February 12, 2010

During my morning troll of the blog sites (on the right) I came across a post on GS that then lead me to a blog by a photographer chap named Matt Malcolm.   Who had some sweet shots of the day (with more to come evidently).  I’ll pinch a couple of the more retro machines (shhh, don’t tell him) and you can scope the rest on his own blog;

February 11, 2010

I went and visited my panel beater chap today.  I had left my spare rear panel there and decided to go pick it up and have a yarn.  Thankfully he still had it sitting aside, despite one of his workers trying to throw it out at one point.  So after a bit of a natter about the state of the 110 and other vehicles I grabbed the panel and made haste, allowing him to return to work as well.  A quick stop over at E Hayes & Sons to buy some screws to fit the Japanese domestic lamps to it and I made my way home and dug the lamps out of storage, made use of my new screws and played a game of comparison.

The Datsun one is obviously not entirely stock having had the badge recess filled and then the whole panel re-painted.  However, that’s not important, what is important is that the spare panel needed some tidying up, so before I shot off to work I started on that…
