I still have the attendance list for Maldon 2001. 16 203's, 13 403's, 12 404's.
The roll call on 23 OCT.'88 with first names, car Rego. No. Anyone out there who can fill in those few ????? name spots from the roll call?How many of the cars are still about? More to the point, how many of the drivers?
Well, I can say I've got one............but I'm locked up in Melbourne in Dan's "Ring of Steel." Car is longer 'French Blue' but now fully restored in a period correct burgundy. Renamed "Poubelle" and sporting my father's 1956 original rego plates. If you communicate with "Lewmax" or read Torque you may even know a bit about her. Reno. Just about finished after five years of labour and expenditure........... Next time I'll just buy another MG! Sorry I can't make the reunion and would like to come up for the drive. Blame that bloody virus (or the Premier if your politics are of the blue kind!) If you make it.......have fun!
The baby-cack coloured 404 in the background in the first photo, that was mine. Sorry to spoil the shot.

Wasn't there also a maroon and silver 203 with a Holden engine in it, there that weekend? I'm sure it had the same mags as Gary's car. From memory, the cream ute was also Holden powered, which later became black and then was bought by Keith Bridge and converted to a 505 2.2 litre (which came out of one of my cars).
Another couple of 'warm babys' also there for the weekend. Denis with YRC-212. GMH Red motor. Horizontal plane floor shift. SCARY fast.Some slightly warm babys that fronted for the weekend.
