Bathurst 12 Hour 2017

On our way to Bathurst for the 12 hour race .... First stop is Cobram ... Great meal at the Cobram Top Pub ... celebrating my entry into the world as an OLD AGE PENSIONER  ....


Chicken Parma  ... must have been a big CHOOK


Slumming it as an old age pensioner



Outside the Cobram Top Pub



Checkout the outside temp ... 39 degrees


It is Wrong Wrong not to stop at Grong Grong for a drink at the Grong Grong Royal Hotel .... just our luck the Grong Grong Royal Hotel was closed

There are 99 Royal Hotels in NSW and 29 in Victoria


The Royal Hotel at Mirool was open .... so we had a drink.


The Royal Hotel at Mandurana ... We stopped for a drink


Royal Hotel at Carcoar ... had lunch


The Royal Hotel at West Wyalong


I always have one at eleven


Royal Hotel at Blayney .. unable to find a parking spot for the Jeep and the van
We shall return!!


Shorty's new Motto!!!!


Military on the job


Corona in cans ....


When race cars looked like race cars .. loved those JPS cars










These AMG sound great .... like a V8 should sound




Frosty is going to drive a real car






A real V8 in this car ...sounds great





A KTM race car ... go figure













Must be money in Broccolini this chap is running the 488 Ferrari


Shorty with the smiling assassin.


This is the Lowndes, Wincup car for the weekend  488 Ferrari


Smart looking car










The chap on the left is not big enough to reach the pedals


Nice car in the pits


Frosty checking out his new car for the weekend


Ginetta race cars ...


That's why they have wheels


Paul Morris, Russell Ingal and Chaz Mostert


Garth Tander ... back to us




These ladies were an embarrassment ... they hassled heaps of drivers


Getting the ice baths ready for Sunday ... temp expected to be in the high 30's


Might be the place to be on Saturday and Sunday




The bridge to the Rydges Hotel


Guess where we are going


Beats looking at Fords and Holdens




NSW Police latest cars .... they wish




No one would get away from these


When I win Tattslotto


Off to work he goes




Rich Ferrari owners


The roof top bar


Doing what one does in a bar


These are sure smart looking cars


She is in heaven   ... in a bar




Even outside the van .... glass in hand


These guys were smart ... brought their own POOL


5:30 am .... Bloody early to start a race










Dawn rising



What can I say ... nice car










The winning car .... only needed one Ferrari


Fast but fragile


Still the best sounding V8




One more drink


Great little Duet


Home


Had trouble getting the lime in the can


Why did the chook cross the road ????


The big sheep at Goulburn


Maybe not a sheep


Going home ...


Royal Hotel in Cooma ... another one off the list


Was a Royal Hotel in Nimmitbel ... now a B & B


Not fun with a 3 tonne van behind the Jeep


Snowy River at Orbost


Shorty loves these Trestle Bridges


Break stop at lakes Entrance
