Thread: Matilda Day- Friday 13th!

Hi there Well done buddy - there is nothing like driving down the road in a series one.

The smell of oil, excessive engine noise, ratteling alloy body work and every possible orifice wihin the canvas tilt is belting you with air.

As for myself - winter is almost over in the Flinders Rangers so just waiting for the day I can get mine out of the shed for a drive without getting wet of freezing (must be an age thing as it never used to bother me).

As a few of you would know the wife uses the 1954 "86" to feed the horses. She will not drive it iwhen the soft top is fitted, and many time I have seen it raining and always the winscreen laying down on the spare tyre on the bonetts and the occupants rugged up like ekimos ............. but its great to watch.

Enjoy
