"Coca Cola" Yellow.

The Nagari's original deep yellow was always called Coca Cola yellow in my circles because it was the colour of Coke trucks. Everyone tells me that those trucks were always red. My memory takes me back to the 50s when they were definately yellow and here's proof. Micro Models' International Coke truck was certainly "Coca Cola yellow".

And here's a real one from the mid 30s (Ford).

Kapunda - Week 68.

My neighbour's 12' caravan ready to set off on its maiden trip after a 5 year rebuild. Not a long trip but a shake-down cruise to Clare for the long weekend.

A crack in the windscreen.

Studio shot.

Here's a pic from Phil's photo shoot.

Smart looking unit.
I'm harking back to when I had a studio like that with all the edges rounded off to create oblivion. Doing it on the cheap, for the corners we took a mould from half of a giant beach ball. If the studio was white, you could bet the next job would require black walls and floor. So out would come the black paint and the rollers on long poles. It used to get repainted weekly on average.
Here's a studio shot of Roger's 7 at Orange Lane.

Lakeside today.

Good on you Barry.

Showed those Ferraris a thing or two.
Thanks Stacey for the pic.

F86

These things are everywhere.

Even a couple of black ones in our little town.

That 6 litre sporty at the Targa that caught Phil's eye (after looking up from catwoman) was one of Craig Williams' Ultras.

Here's a turbo Nissan powered one at the Mt. Alma climb a couple of years back.

Graham's Ikara.

Looks like a hive of activity. The pace quickens as an interruption comes up soon with an orchestral tour of New Zealand and Japan. That's followed by a move to a new workshop when the lease runs out on this one. Meanwhile Graham has the tedious job of getting the silicon off the windscreen surrounds. That's all that holds them together as that wonderful new material they are made from cracks into small pieces. This is something I'm not looking forward to when I get around to doing mine but by then both Ross and Graham will have become windscreen experts and can advise me.

What caught my eye at the Gawler swap meet.

Birdwood.

Couldn't spend a day at the museum without posting a photo.

Or two.

This is sad. These same cars have sat in this old stable for donkeys years, getting pooped on by birds and generally deteriorating. Nothing extra special really, but how long since you've seen a Mark 1 Consul? There's a Jowett Javelin, the first of the Coronas, a Fiat 500, a Dodge Kingsway, a Mini, an Austin Lancer, a Vanguard and one other car that escapes me (and it was only this afternoon). Never mind.

Rush

Doesn't come to Palace Nova until 3rd Oct.

Limousine?

That's what BMW called it.

You see, it has a back door.
It has a longer wheelbase than a normal Isetta so, I guess, it's a stretched limo.
