A trip south of the border

As a lot of you guys would know our '67 Panel is our main family ride and if I posted pics of every trip I did in it I could run my own pictorial website! But a week or so back we spent 7 days with my folks in Daylesford, about an hour or 2 north of Melbourne up in the hills. Fortunately it was fairly cool throughout the period and we didn't experience the 44 degree C days the week before. We did a few winerys and some craft places and markets and also spent one day at Sovereign Hill and another at Hepburn Spa. So it was a good time. I had to feel sorry for the Panel as it was 37 C the day we drove down from NSW and although it was only 33 C the day we drove back we had a significantly fuller vehicle. But the external oil cooler did its job and the 1776cc ran well. Unfortunately we didn't see any other splits on the Trip but I saw a few Bays about.

Damn, forgot you were in Ballarat, Matt! :x
I would definitely liked to have caught up with you guys but we were still a ways from Mexico City and even further from Geelong so I figured it might be a bit hard.
I promise next time I'll make sure I let you know I'm heading down.
