Guest scottf Posted October 16, 2016 Share Posted October 16, 2016 We joined in the National Rally as well. As Bob noted, about 500kms on the rally itself, but we clocked up 1000km in total by the time we drove around locally and the trip to/from home. Looking forward to the next one in Geelong, Victoria in two years. Bob's work as tail-end charlie was much appreciated .. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nearchoclatetown Posted October 16, 2016 Share Posted October 16, 2016 You folks are not afraid to drive your cars. I've heard stories from those I know from down under of long travels to your tours and mostly on rough roads. I'm guessing that Cled and Alan Sharpe were there?

Guest scottf Posted October 16, 2016 Share Posted October 16, 2016 (edited) Cled was, not sure about Alan. Long trips and rough roads are bit of a necessity - there's plenty of 'sunday drives' to go on locally, but if you want a longer trip, you have to be prepared to travel a bit. Others travelled further than we did though - I can think of a couple of folks who drove their cars 1000km just to get to the really (2000km round trip + rally). If we make it to Geelong in two years, that will be an 1800km drive each way. Already planning how i might make it to that one.

2251DB Posted October 16, 2016 Share Posted October 16, 2016 As 1 of the rally organisers and the owner of the 2251 senior six I was pleasantly surprised to see a 2249 senior six (wood wheels and deep purple colour) and a 2251 senior six as well (on the trailer under restoration) It was rare to see the three models at the one time given their rarity in Australia Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ron Lawson Posted October 16, 2016 Share Posted October 16, 2016 Hi Stewart, Thank you and the team for a fantastic rally The venue, the places that we visited and mostly the people that we met and renewed friendships with was just great. That 2252 Sedan is sure going to be one magnificent car when its finished.I will have to get my rear end into gear and get my 2249 Tourer ready for 2020 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ken_Lincoln Posted October 17, 2016 Share Posted October 17, 2016 Thanks for the pics .. Looks like the weather gods were smiling on you.. I was unable to go to Warwick as I have just attended The Chrysler Restorers National Rally in Cowra in the week before ... Went to Forbes and unlike the 2014 D.B Rally, the whole area is flooded and had to go to Forbes via Parkes .. All roads in the area were in atrocious condition with potholes and water over the road ... Looks like you had a great event, and sorry we missed it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

30DodgePanel Posted October 9, 2018 Share Posted October 9, 2018 (edited) Amazing... The work that went into this truck is to be commended. Pinstriped running boards on a DB/GB truck this size has to be a first.. Edited October 10, 2018 by 30DodgePanel (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cxgvd Posted October 10, 2018 Share Posted October 10, 2018 Thank you for the report and photos. I hang out on the Buick forums though this DB thread gets my attention, you DB fellows always have interesting cars, problems and camaraderie. If I could ever find a Victory Six roadster my heart would sing, lovely looking cars. Regards, Gary Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regards, Gary The Victory roadster is a beautiful looking car, but I think there is only about 12 known in the world so that will be a hard one to get.
