    Albury visit

    We are heading off to Albury for a couple days next week (road trip).

    Anyone have some recommendations on sights to see, places to visit or sheds full of undiscovered classic cars?

    There's an old service station on Urana Road full of Oddbox cars. Fiats, Alfa's etc. it's private property but you can have a good look from the footpath. If you happen to catch the owner there he's pretty friendly. He was showing us a Lancia Sedan with a factory fitted FWD Ferrari V8 under the bonnet last time I was there. Had a lot of trouble with vandalism so he may have moved the good ones.

    Have you got accomodation sorted? Mother-law has a couple of self contained cottages reasonably close to town. A cold beer in the outdoor spa at night is something I try to do whenever we stay there.

    We have a place to stay thank you. I'll have a day free to look around even if it's a couple hours drive out of Albury to look around.

    He has gone, the bank moved in on him, all the cars are gone and the property has been sold by the bank, he has lots of stuff including v12 jag engines, a lambo urraco. lancias, alfas, fiats and so on.

    Head across the Hume Wier and there's a nice quiet twisty road that follows the lake. Good driving road.
