Default FDC display relections.

Great day that started early.

Snypereb and I loaded the LTD onto the trailerr last night and gave it a wash. Which ended up being pointless as it rained today!

Smooth drive in my bro's hilux with LTD in tow up to first meet point, then continuing on to Geelong. Only drama was the cyclists who blocked off the roads to FDC!



Below are a couple of pictures I took. I haven't quiet mastered taking photos indoors yet.




Thanks to Shaun and everyone who helped out today.

Great day, gave the car a detail yesterday and since we left a little later than everybody else we managed to miss most of the rain (got a little bit just before we entered geelong). Huge thanx to Dan for towing it up there, surprisingly had little drama getting the car onto the trailer, which was my main concern. Feels so liberating to not haveto think about my car for a whole month! Spewin i forgot my camera tho, i'll prolly head up there some time to take a few happy snaps.

PS. How freakin annoying were the road blocks! Almost every bloody road to get there was blocked off....

Re Holmsy.Dosent matter mate as the 4 cars in there are of very high standard. It would have been good to have more yes, but the standard of the 4 that are in there representing E-SERIES.COM.AU makes this a very good day for anyone in this club.

I believe you can disconnect your battery if you want probably no need to if you remove your interior light globe because the only other power would be your constant power to your headunit and if the cars are running I believe that they do start them up every few days I think.

I gotta say this is going to sound as gay as ClubStockie™, but the feeling of pride from displaying my car in the Ford Discovery Centre was huuuggeeee. I want to thank Wayne for setting this all up and giving me the opportunity to display the car in there.

It was a very smoothly organised day besides a bike race through Geelong which messed the whole plan up, but if we didn't get stuck in traffic we would've had too much time on our hands when we go there anyways.

Can't wait to head back up and get some more snaps. Free entry and ****
