Yours was the Atlantis Blue ute Vombil? Very nice. Who owns the orange van, without the airbrushing?

That blue ute belongs to XX7Sandman and the brown van not orange belongs to some old bloke he was telling us his stripes are painted on and they are

Was Vombil's there?

[Valencia]

I didnt find him Vombil not that i was looking for him but i did ask Paul if he had seen him to

Vombil the international man of mystery

[Vombil]

i was undercover. hat and all.

i tried to chat with XX7 but there were so many bearded bogans hanging around his ute I couldnt get a sniff. I did have a very long chat with the older fella who owns the brown HX Sandman van (i agree it looks very brown but it's supposed to be VZ/VE Ignition). Lovely bloke. $20,000 panel and paint bill (including fill ins). He has owned it since 30,000kms and it was a daily until resto started 6 years ago. Still has original 253 (warm?) and 4 speed with 3.08 now. A miracle van imo. He said after 30 years out in the WA weather the only rust was rockers, RH floor pan, cowls and RH a-pillar. He reckons he stumbled on it in a yard when he crashed his HG Monaro and was looking for a ride. They gave him $1000 for his monaro and he paid $6,800 change over.

Anyone get a pic of it? I didnt take any photos. There was a very original HQ 253 GTS coupe in a sparkly dark brown that I completely fell in love with.
OK turn out I thought. Very few spectators though when i was there. It was sooo hot in the sun!!!!!!!!

Deep that I didnt get to meet any of the mysandman members though. I was only there an hour tops
