Friends and Flying Machines

Jan and Mike 
had a two stage lunch plan !
Pizzas at Rochford...
then over the road to Levantine
for Coffee and Cake !


God I love the Yarra Valley !


Robert and Mark's was the next stop.
There was a Food Truck festival in Cheltenham
An afternoon of Sunshine , Wine , Music and Food....
Right up our alley !


Well he was interesting !!!!
Not sure which of the above he'd had
too much of ?
Perhaps he is a Pom !


Then on Sunday we caught up with Graham & Kerry
We hadn't seen them since Darwin in 2009


So after a fabulous Italian Lunch in Mornington...
This time we got to see more of his "Collection"
Now this is a "Man's Shed!" 


Doesn't every Man's Shed have a pair of
Granite Column Tops for Coffee Tables ? 


His Corsair which we saw being rebuilt in Darwin 
in 2009 was at Point Cook on loan....
But she looked OK to me !!! 


This "affliction" started with Graham's Father
who collected Vintage Cars....


So here are Graham & Kerry with a few Beauties.
But Graham has gone on to add
Vintage War Birds...
While still keeping a few cars !


This is the Super Charger end of a Corsair Engine.
Now that is a Blower
His is "detuned" to 2100 hp ...


A chap who does a bit of work for Graham built this
UFO ...
Useless Flying Object 
It does fly !

   
The Mind Boggles..




Alison , you thought I Collect "Stuff"


Thanks Graham and Kerry
A fantastic Sunday Afternoon...
Hopefully it won't be 7 years 'till the next catch up !

Stephen's Day Out

Kristian had organised me entry into
Motorclassica .
The first thing I spied was this lovely Inca Orange 
2002 Touring....


And then this replica Alpina...
Gorgeous !
I miss my 2002's


2 of the JPS 635s


This spectacular i Vision.



A rare M1



Then the new M6 GT3
Note the drivers !


I love these !


An 850 CSi



I still love Kombi's
This one is spectacular !


It was Tourings 90th year
so lots of cars from this famous house !


This Alfa was stunning !


Lambo's Muira


An SS100 was up for Auction



Check the price of this 
"Barn Find"



Maybe I should've hung onto my Beetle !


If you had the SS100 you'd need this too !
Made out of watch parts.


Upstairs was this very limited edition 
Carbon Fibre Ducati.


And the one of a kind
JPS K100 BMW
Now that'd look nice next to
The Black Bitch !!!


And a BMW Art Bike !


Down the Hall


Some Cars from "The Dark Side"


I'm sure the Original Rolls weren't this 
well finished.


And this "improved"
Mk 11 Jaguar.




And then hidden away..
Alpina is finally coming to Australia


Maybe a bit dearer than an M4 !


Another nice Alfa


The Muira and Homage !


What a restoration !


And to finish where I started...
Is this the future ?


Thanks Squirt 
I loved it !
