G'Day from EH*ROB
Discussion
G'Day guy's, I have finally found a computer & got back on line, had to go to Australia to do it 
Got to tell ya it's been between 28 & 32 for the las few days & 37 tomorra, (sorry)
As Paul has told you I was cut of early in the UK (long story)
It's a bit late but I want to thank Paul for organising such a great send off. Thanks to everyone for making it a fantastic send off.
A BIG thanks to Graham a Picador for the Bacon roll to start the day plus the use of his forcourt to launch from & wake up the neighbours (don't know who was responsible for that)
Got to say though Brian I can't thank you enough for giving me the keys to that beast for, it was the drive of my life. Also a special thanks to Tanya for driving the Monaro down to Southampton so I could use it, now thats a Beaut Sheila !
I was the best day out I think I have had in the 12 years I have spent in the UK, what a great bunch of Guy's.
Will said he was interested in my coments on driving a 6L Monaro & the rid in the Maloo. I'm no Clarkson but I'll try to explain.
When some one gives you the key's to a 440 HP Monaro & your every day drive is a 1.4 Corsa, well it's going to be very different hay & Anyone who knows me will know that I like to use it if it has it & the Monaro has plenty, but I did have in the back of my mind that this car is not mine & I had to be careful not to plant it into a hedge. I have never driven a car that had so much power & Torque. The Torque was there all the way, in any gear at any time, Amazing ! & to my suprise I felt very comfortable with the car very quickly. The gear change was so short & sharp that I never even missed a gear, not even when I gave it some stick (now & again) I loved the sound, drove most of the way with the window down. As they say, I JUST WANT ONE !
The ride in the 6.L Maloo was another thing,again sounded fantastic & even from the passengers seat it felt like it wanted to excelorate all day, must be an animal with the blower on !
Just have to finish by saying it's a dream come true to be home in Aus, but you guy's back in the UK have something special, it's call The HSV UK DRIVERS CLUB, what a GREAT bunch of people, I will miss you all.
THANKS GUY'S
