Cheers mate it's a beautiful place! Good fun to explore in a split
Yes I will but unfortunately I'm on a computer without a good version of photoshop. Although us Tasmanian's are quite proud of those power things, almost seems a shame to get rid of it. Apparently they make electricity or something
Great shot mate, i grew up around your area, lived there for 28 years. Mainlanders don't get the historical importance of the H.E.C .
On a side note, did i see a while ago that you had Alan Baths old DC ? geez it looked different to when i last saw it..
She's a beautiful place mate Where abouts in Tassie did you grow up?
Haha yes Barthys old bus, I'll try and dig up a pic. I'm guessing you saw it when it was still out at South Burnie? As far as I know the DC is currently being bare metal restoed in Launie!

Good to hear about Bathy's bus, in the day she was smick, did you ever see his Beetle? Frikkin amazing! .
I moved to Burnie when I was 18 from Penguin, also lived in Cooee and somerset for a few years. Alan looked after my dads Vdubs for 25 years, I learn't heaps from Alan, glad he has retired!
i was there the day it was sold to a 17 yo , later that night it was doing burnouts in the beach carpark..
So you didn't sell the panel in the end? keeping it?
13's going well, I've done a shit load of work to get things reliable , it's set up for distance touring for a while, as long as I take heaps of spare fuel we should be ok ! . Will bring it to Tas next year for a trip to catchup with mates, will sing out then , might be able to get a small cruise happening ..
I found this pic from about 2000 ish.. did you know Paul crossey? he was the manager at repco in Burnie, he own this car for years, i bought it then stacked it..hmm .
