Default Aussie Mike's car yard

Ok Aussie Mike,



Time to "Post" some pictures of that car yard of yours.

Now $700,000 plus worth of Cobras down your drive way certainly deserves a photo.

"Honest Mike's Car Yard"....

"3DSMILE:

Thanks again Mike for the great hospitality.

BBQ, Beer and chips and good Cobra talk..

Great drive home also - in the sunshine..

Cheers

Bernie

A very enjoyable afternoon. Nothing's quite as inspiring or encouraging for someone still building than a back yard full of Cobras.

Thanks for coming fellas, I had a great afternoon.

Hey Mike, You sure you live in Melbourne. I think I can see some blue sky in the background there????

How about some names to go with the pictures, it would be great to be able to put a face to the name.

Cheers.

Nice pics, but someone must have flipped the negatives! All the steering wheels appear on the wrong side!!

Les,

There were 2 stubbies of Stellar left and I think that's only cause they didn't know how to get the tops off.

No weeds in the garden but the lavender needs a trim. Spayed the weeds in the pavers a few weeks back, just got to go round a sweep them up. Yes all the roses need a prune. They grow like mad in the heavy clay soil we have. With water restrictions for the last few years the lawns are a lost cause.

Cheers

I like the security aspect of the access through the garage. when the doors are down you wouldn't know there was a huge workshop out the back.

It's a bit of a problem if you want to get a concrete truck into the yard since there isn't enough clearance. When I first built the shed we Wheel barrowed 6 meters of concrete through to do the floor. For the extension I did a couple of years back we lined the bucket of a bobcat with plastic to carry the concrete through.

Cheers

GAV MILDURA

Now we are all a little red in the face as we were holding our guts in for the photos...

Yes had a good time.



I'm wondering how a certain person (Jeremy) got the "Ronald McDonald" handle/name.... must ask a few questions...

Thanks again Mike

Cheers

Bernie

Mike

What kind of half-assed picture tour is that? Bunch of guys (nice guts, some of you) out front with a bunch of damn Cobras (very good looking driveway with all of them).

Come on now...give us a proper tour of what's outback.

This is all starting to sound like a bit of a double entendre. I'll up the ante by saying that going by Jamo's avitar it looks like the San Andreas fault is running through his back yard.

Cheers
