    Made it back home from the Expo.

    Got back home from the Expo in Camden yesterday afternoon, with no issues except very tired (sleeping conditions not good in Camden due to the wind!). And the fact that my grandchildren have used all my month's internet in less than two day's.

    From my point of view it was a successful expo! Started off by coming third in the trivia quiz on Saturday night, sold nearly all the bits I brought, won "Best restored Series 2", and did the round trip with no issues from the car (unlike last time when I developed an engine oil leak and spent hours by the roadside).

    Downside was the wind, and the heat on Saturday. Headwind on much of the trip home did not make it a quick trip.

    Interestingly, on the way back I dropped in on a relative in Lithgow - they were also in Camden on Saturday, as her husband works for the Cancer Council and was involved with the noisy event in the showground - I think it was "Ride for Life".

    Met a lot of old friends at the Expo, and made some new ones. Special thanks to Harry and Carolyn (Ho-hars) and Paul who helped when I was a bit off colour when setting up camp, probably dehydrated due to driving for eight hours with temperatures in the high thirties and humidities in single digits.

    Good to catch up again, John.

    i forgot to ask you if you wanted a Verizon CDMA phone for your upcoming trip? I bought it when I was there on holiday.

    So what did everyone think? is there a report thread with photos that ive missed?

    I made it down there on the Sunday, seemed like a pretty good turnout, and a good mix of vehicles too,

    Made it back home from the Expo.

    Sorry I missed you John. I was there and would have liked to have made your acquaintance. And the HH's. Met Lewy110, Trailraider, and saw Al_abroad again. And, who could miss Lots-a-Landys (thanks Diana!) what a great day.
    Cooma isn't that far off!

    See you again next year - neighbour, I thought you won ALL the trivia quizzes. Also great to catch up with Hilton Pollard and family as well as many others, somehow I missed seeing Slunnie.

    I was disappointed to have missed seeing you both also Erich. Mrs HH said you were there, but I suspect I was there too late on the Sunday and many were filing out. Next time I'll also have to hear about all of your travel!
    Cheers
