One of the redeeming features about writing this Blog is all the nice comments I get from everyone. This week I received this unsolicited email from a couple I don't even know in the UK. How lovely, here it is...
Hi Ken,
We live in England, at Seaford on the South Coast. We get the NSW Model A Club news letters along with many others, via email, and much enjoyed reading your blog!
Our son lives in Dee Why on Sydney's northern beaches and we have been for extended holidays to Australia a number of times.
We have had two Model A Fords, a coupe and cabriolet. While at a rally over here we met a couple from Victoria who had a Phaeton, a long story short, we did a couple of National rallies with them, Adelaide and Bathurst also the Bay to Birdwood run.
When we get tired of Dee Why, we would head off into proper Oz! Where we enjoyed rural NSW Queensland and Victoria, and travelled the Bells Line of Road lots of times so it is sad to see the fruit farms and bush burnt, also the Zig Zag railway and we feel so sorry for the people and wildlife lost.

| This blue Model A Ford, a 1930 two-door coupe was the one that was subsequently written off |

| This red one was the replacement, a 1930 Cabriolet, with a model B engine, when we had finished getting it right! Turned out being lovely, and much admired and missed! |
We found Junee and the roundhouse on our trips to Echuca to see our pals with the Phaeton! and really enjoyed the outback, loved Australia, sadly ill health precludes any more visits, so we enjoy catching up with all the newsletters, and Outback Truckers!, but it's the first time I have found your blog, which took us back!
We had to part with the Model A Fords, first one, the Coupe written off by a drunk driver when coming home from a rally, fortunately I was on my own, but still suffered broken bones etc, we then got a Cabriolet from USA which turned out to need a lot of work, which kept me out of trouble for a few months and I could have done with out all the exxtra work!

| Our current 1966 Mustang, 289 Coupe, imported from California in 1968, we have had it since 2010 and got it re-registered a couple of years later in order to have the correct year number plate |
I wonder why do these people so misrepresent their cars when selling them? We had that for about four years and it was lovely when finished, but access for Sandy was eventually impossible.
So we now have '66 Mustang which I can get her in and out of and we enjoy that. Well I won't bore you anymore. I do look forward to the next one.
All the best,
