Safe and sound in Innisfail now.
Caught up with Colin and Peter (and there better halves) this morning, went up to teh tea rooms on hervey range road (yes Les it is a tea room - if it makes you feel better it used to be a pub
)
Nice drive up the hill on what was a nice road (newly laid). And very nice coffee and breakfast.
My nephew Blake came along and loved seeing the Cobra's with the shiney paint, we then headed back down the hill and went and caught up with some Chrysler guys.
And proof that rego parts do fall off, the R/H reflector is gooooone (L/H will follow soon I think)
Also lost the R/H "GOODYEAR" decal at some stage (first day) anyone have a spare to sell?
Blake was real happy about comming along, as he now has a ride for him and his girlfriend to the deb ball, Ken with the green Challenger was nice enough to help out.
By the time I repacked the car it was about 2.45 as I left Townsville, all was going well until Cardwell, then the clouds started looking bad.
About 20kls south of Tully the rain started, it was only very light at first.
Leaving Tully it started to get heavier, and by the time I reached the ElArish range the rain was getting too heavy. I was allready wet so I pulled off the side of the road and put the tonneau cover on and stood in the rain.
After about 10 minutes it slowed down a little and I figured I was allready wet so I may aswell keep going to Innisfail.
Well the rain did not slow down much, no roof, no wipers, and glasses off (fogging up) I made my way to Innisfail at about 60kph.
The car is now in the carport trying to dry out.
