Another book on Aussie cars.

Here's one I hadn't noticed before.

Here's the Bolwell page.

That looks like Ron Westren's 7 unless I'm mistaken.

Another one hits the road.

Now there's an idea!

A favourite of mine.

Kapunda - week 95

Decorated Christmas tree Kapunda style.

Badge engineering.

There's been lots of discussion about these strange people who put Chev badges on their Commodores. It's something to do with Australia's cultural cringe and there's no real reason for it as Chevrolet had little to do with the manufacture of a Commodore.

But the opposite happens in the US. Here's an example. A 2014 Chev SS that the owner has exchanged the bow tie for Holden badges.

This makes more sense as these Chevs were, in fact, built by Holden in Australia.

What a shed.

Full of red Bollies.

It's happened to Bolwells too.

This happens to be a Corvette.

How on earth do these things hsppen?

Tapestries?

Errol is producing these giant tapestries.

He's taking order for personalised ones. I'm guessing they're printed on large pieces of woven material.

Nope, I was wrong they're woven not printed.

Supercharge!

68 years old.

The Holden had its 68th birthday last week.
Here's the very first.

And here's one of the very last so far.

That was a good night.

Tuesday saw us in the Adelaide Hills town of Oakbank after a spirited run from the Tower Hotel for our Christmas get-together - rib night at the Oakbank Hotel.

The long table.

A nice group of happy people and it was good to catch up with Margaret and Tony who we haven't seen for a while.

 Out the front was Alan's clubby.....

..........as was Scott's Nagari.

The PS red Nagari coupe was there too but must have been further down the street.
