Sorry Jim, for such a late response, for some reason I've missed this post. My fault totally. I'll be in NZ for a couple of weeks over this mid June period. I'll do the next one for sure.

Glyn sorry to hear about your bad luck, hope it gets fixed quickly - who's your repairer?
Cheers
Mike

 

No worries Mike, we'll catch up soon...safe trip to the Kiwi Isle's.

 

We are using Koudsy who repaired the rust around the hood ornament. Very happy with them.

 

Bump Below.

Anyone else like to join us for lunch?

 

Hi everyone, unfortunately sickness has struck some of us and our families so we need to reschedule this meet....Glyn, hope mum is ok with the surgery and Ken hope your wife recovers well....all the very best!

 

Hi Jim, yes a bit disappointing but the wife is on the mend, managed to get the car washed today. Lets pick a date and make it happen. Saturdays from here on will be busy for me so Sundays are more achievable.

 

Winter is nearly over so how about we get some ideas together for a nice lunch and drive somewhere.........any takers?

 

I'll be at the all Brit day this Sunday so if any of you guys are there come up and say hi and discuss. Blue XJS Convertible

 

I'll be tied up with a prior engagement (wife's function) but post up some piccies and info Ken!

 

Hi Ken, Jim, and others . . .
Despite living in Inverell, I have committed to helping my son in Sydney with his home reno and extensions, so finding myself back and forth. Will be doing so for some months yet so I have subscribed to this thread to keep me up with your plans to meet. Hope all is well now on the health front and you have a fun ABD meet.

Cheers and best wishes,

Ken

 

Hi Jim, I was part of a run to Goulburn around this time last year (Poured with rain). Is there anything planned in the near future? Ive been unwell for last 6 months and just getting back into life so would be keen to know of any plans

 

Remember the day well Rodger....sure hope your feeling a lot better now.
I've just put it out there for a date that's suitable and then maybe the Bells line of Road Kurrajong?

 

Hello all and greetings from the wet northern tablelands after yet another long absence. Hallelujah; rain at last. Yes, there are 5yo nippers running around up here screaming . . . "Mummy; Mummy; the sky is broke and all this wet stuff is leaking out!!!"

Just a much needed bump as I am backwards & forwards to Sydney and would love to meet up if possible. Jim's idea for a run & lunch through Kurrajong/Bell suits my Parramatta/Merrylands base - so, any further interest late in October or into November?

Downside to my travels is no internet access when away from home, but Jim has my mobile number if you wish to call or sms . . . yes, yes . . . I know it's a smart phone (often, too smart) but I'm not such a smart mobile user!

Cheers and best wishes,

Ken

 

Good to hear from you mate......late October early November sounds good..give me some dates you'll be around and we'll lock in. ( I'll keep you up to date via phone)

 

Thanks Jim. My next Sydney visit is from Mon 23 until at least Mon 30 October.

Like you, and perhaps others nearby, I can happily tear myself away for a weekday meet (son's building project will struggle on without my expert supervision, LOL). Such could be a more pleasant drive and less crowded lunch, but understand if weekend date suits others better.

Dates later in November not yet decided - other than w/e of 4th/5th being out for me - but will be confirmed once I reach Sydney, so I can phone you then.

October/November are the "drop dead gorgeous" Spring months that see the Blue Mountains at their very best - whether the Kurrajong/Bilpin/Tomah side, or the gardens of Leura over on the main drag. Perhaps we could meet somewhere near Rouse Hill for the run through Windsor and up to Kurrajong?

Best wishes to you & Nina and looking forward to meeting up with any other JF members too.

Ken

 

Well no one has got back other than Ken and checking with my wife Nina most weekends until Christmas are full now. I can do mid week as Ken suggested so we'll need to look at the New Year for a weekend. Come on Guy's let's plan something.

 

Good-oh Jim. I will phone you to arrange a catch-up with you and Nina - perhaps late next week. I'll be on the silver S-Type. Perhaps lunch at The Fiddler if that suits you and Nina? Or, somewhere closer to your home?

Cheers,

Ken

 

Sounds great.........I'll talk with you then.
