Default Merry Christmas from Downunder.

Gooday Friends,
Just wanted to say.....
MERRY CHRISTMAS and
THANKS for all of the HELP & advice over the last 12 months.

I decided to drive my '74 to my workplace Christmas party on Friday,
I've been telling them for ages that I'd bring "Her" in one day.
Everyone was trying to find out who the "Red Car" belonged to
and some didn't believe it was mine when I told them. LOL
The Girls were ooohing and ahhhing all over her (even some of the "stuck up" ones).
Hell, even some of the board members were impressed.
Now I just gotta get'em to sponsor me.

Have a GREAT Christmas & New Year and PLEASE -DRIVE SAFE.
Best Wishes from Downunder.

Gav

Gav/All,
A very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to you as well. I additionally want to thank you as well as everyone else on the homefront the same (thank you for all of the help/wisdom and comedic times over the last year). Looking forward to another fun filled year with my Vette buddies!!!

Happy Holidays to all and be safe out there!

Terry

doorgunner,
Yep, about 11 hours earlier.
briankeery, Yes, Santa was good to me

Wife got me a pair of RAY BANS for driving "the Vette, NOT for on the bike"
and my Son got me a (TALKING) DAVE MINION (Despicable Me)
I Love those little guys.
Nothing for the Vette this year BUT I'm planning an oil change tomorrow....
IF
I can still get underneath (after Christmas dinner) LOL !!!
I HOPE Santa brings Y'all the GOODIES you asked for and some Surprises too.
BE SAFE -BE KIND.
Cheers From Gav, Julie and MIRCALLA - The '74.
