Hey Max, I was meant to be there but it didn't happen when the wife got sick. So crapped off I didn't get there. Oh well, maybe next time. Did a small car meet last night in Innuendo and had a good time with a pretty good turn out considering the low temperatures we are getting.

G'day Inners, that's no good, hopefully it keeps going/growing.
I was absolutely amazed how good it was, I went as it was only 3 1/2 hours away &just to give a donation to the cause, not expecting half the turn out. Went by myself & it took about 1 minute for someone to come & chat with me, & next thing it was bourbon time, at which time I'll talk to anyone!
Saw Rodney & Jennie (but no van) & some other faces from other shows. I will definately go to the next one
Thanks Inners
He's growing on me slowly, at least he's passionate. Gotta say all those studs on his jacket at a carshow....hmmm. I remember mates getting narky if you sat on their bonnet in jeans thinking rivets would scratch it.
It's always good to see State titles or sometimes big local "all types" shows because there are so many "other" great vans that don't travel to Nationals.
I love the royal plum Sandman too, but the Gypsy lady saying only 50 made had me wondering?
I'd be very surprised if that is a fact. But I'm not up on Gemini stats at all. Still appreciate seeing them around though.Originally Posted by Blue victor

Not sure if it was mentioned, the gypsy was stamped XX7
Same as Sandman though only id assembled at the Brisbane Acacia Ridge plant.

Yep, Brisbane plant.
I was just pointing out that XX7 code wasn't exclusive to Sandman
Oh, OK I'm with you now. I was pointing out that they like the Sandman would have the same issue with identification with only those with XX7 stamped being Brisbane assembled versions.
Was that one at the NSW State titles stamped XX7?
