An excellent day with great attendance, nice one boyz n girlz. Big thanks to ukhsv for the organisation involved behind the scenes and for being the ‘font of all knowledge’ to quite a few.

What a great day, well, hour for me..I could have stayed all day but someone wanted to go home...

Fantastic to see such an array of fine machines makes me very homesick indeed. Was good to put some faces to the names on here and I'm sorry that I didn't get around to everyone to at least say hello or hoo roo for that matter (see above)..

All I can say is that today concreted my belief that only milk and orange juice come in 2 litres..Long live the V8!!

Yes great day again at the Ace, fantastic turn out of cars, about 32 I think.

Well done to Paul for all the organising & thanks to everyone for coming along. Special thanks again to Stu Harris for bringing the lovely 2005 Monaro’s along, also to Allen Orchard, Linden SV & WRC for their help in the event.

Good to see you all again & meet a few of the new guy's like Sean’s gen3 ute & Aussiedude. Sorry that I didn’t get to talk to everyone, but loads to see & do, like look after that Kangaroo! Well I had to keep an eye on his valve & make sure he didn’t go down on me, ha ha.

Karen & the Girls enjoyed themselves, apart from the trip up in the cold with no heater & the quarter windows open to demist the windscreen!

I did see the Brown Valiant early on, but it left before I got to talk to the owner. Sorry not to see a few Fords & Valiants come along, there was room guys.

All the best,

Can only second everything thats been said, thanks to all involved and it was good to meet some new faces and say hello to some recognisable ones.Paul, many thanks for your kind offer may well like to take you up on it sometime, if I keep the car. When I saw the 2005 Monaro I thought that was the answer ....until I saw the size of the boot!!..........not many pushchairs going in there.

Just to say Thanks to all. What a great day. I have never seen so many Holdens in one place.
Nice to have a chat with Stu, I found it very refreshing to have an honest chat about the good and not so good bits on the cars. Overall its a hell of a lot of car for the money.
