Hi John
when we turned up at the gate there was a huge outcry! Bedfords are not allowed to be on display!!! ???
When Ray sent in application form they took our money and sent us our sticker so we thought yeah ! they let us in.
But it Turns out the vechile has to have a Holden Badge...they dont take compliance plates as being a Holden :( :( :( :(
So the good news is we saved $15 $5 for each person entry and $5 parking. As when we took out recipt to office they refunded our $60n in full.
so we wandered around the cars and swap meet looking for tar babies stainless steel mud flaps then left as we were all holdened out.
I did night shift that night and got two hours sleep and with a head cold to I wanted to headed back home.
hey i put a matress pillows and blankets in the back as i was going to have a sleep...so i m sorted glad we didnt have to spend the whole day there. Long day when your car is on display.
We will call in another time soon John as we are keen to see how yourcomig along with your van.
anyway following is some pics of the 800 cars that turned up.
-
so many cars to look at ..so i took pics of my favourite colours purple and blue ;D
-
Even the Majestic Vanners were in the blue and purple theme :D
some vanners to realise how lucky they are to be able to have the luxury of space to put in what ever size engine they choose.
-
This is Rays favourite colour and he spotted this Torana that had its original very first rego sticker from 1971 still on the windscreen :o
-
Opps soory clicked b4 i posted the pics ;
They have a huge turn out of cars and had to knock heaps back...
the sawp meet was big but cessnock next week is even bigger!
hope you all enjoyed the pics
-
Bet you felt like a right convict!!
I had the same at Gingin British Car Day when I pulled in next to the Triumph's who told me to piss off into the Vauxhall zone which was right next to them. But got the last laugh with being the only Beddy and with all the kids dragging their parents away from other vehicles to look at Scooby Doo van, friggin funny and the old boy who told me to move let me know he wasn't happy either.
Just tell em next time that Holden bought in the Beddy as a convenient way to move Holden parts around to the dealers hehe :D :D
-
Hahaha Truck Mate we didnt evem makit it thru the gate...you should have seen em running...no no no u cant let a bedford in hahahah.
yeah they are so padanitc...i have a printed sheet i usually put on the van detailing all components of the van...since we have some fods bits Ray made me change them to borgwaner bits of just leave them out ;D ;D ;D ;D
as he reckons any ford bits may have us kicked out...turns out being a beddy got us kicked out
We were going to the all british day on newcaslte for shore last week end but it rained so we gave it a miss..but i was keen to go n park next t the Jags ehehehe
Any way were really looking forward to the Van nats in easter...just sent away our registration forms today...as after 30th sep prices go up
Im hoping to have a great roll up of the BUGA group there!
-
Thanks for the pics Wendy.
-
I thought some of the CF's had a Bedford by Holden bonnet badge..... If I find one, would send it to you, so you can tell them next year where to go...And not politely. ;)
-
mine has a plate on it stating its made by general motors holden
might by under the bonnet
-
They had a 'Powered By Holden' sticker under the Bedford badge.
I could make a couple of these for anyone that wants, but I don't think it would satisfy those Holden purists. LOL
-
Yep your right Hobbit stickers dont count nor do Compliance plates issued " Manufacted by General Motors Holden PTY LTD"
all bedfords have that but OOOOOHHHHH NNNOOOOOO no it did not come with a Holden Badge so its not a holden...
got me confused as Holden owners seem to think thay can increase power by adding a Chev badge and it is totally accepted by the Holden lovers ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D
Not going next year or any actually if they cant accept a black sheep cousin in the family to their meets ;)
-
;D ;D ;D
All ford day had the same thing in Adelaide 10 years ago...had a sign saying all ford powered vehicles and the some "highly intelligent person" tried to stop a Bolwell (mk 7 ?) with a 351 going in (as built in the bolwell factory in melbourne)
So the next year they changed the rules... to all ford BUILT vehicles.
And they wonder why numbers are dropping off.......
-
Maybe they thought you were gonna Out Cool!!! them Wendy. These are the sort of people that brainwashthere kids into thinking a plastic dunnydore is cool, but boy have they got their head up their exhaust. ;D :D ;D
I am sure that will change next year after Bathurst.
-
yeah Truck I might just have out kooled them.....when we were at the gate with all the carfuffle...some random dude come up to our window and asked if the van was for sale???
Ray said yes and i said NO unless he has 20k hahaha
this random guy wanted to buy a van already done up for next to nothing...didnt want to do all the hard yakka
reckons he turned up to buy a car that day and loved bedfords and has been hassling a guy in Asthpen?? for two years to sell his LWB to him...and low and behold that guy wanted 20 k as well !
Hey we cant have everyone liking bedfords as there are not enough to round them eh...
so sssshhhhhh we cant tell the world how good they ...they have to have bedfords in their genes to really like and own one...then you get one by hook or by crook to own one and spend a small fortune and time doing it up.
-
Well i recon holden went belly up after the WB
and VK,
Anything built after them were rubbish
Computers, plastic and tin instead of steel and chrome. :)
Our bedfords are more holden than that crap thats for sure
To be sure to be sure. :)
