1 Bravo 6 Posted January 25, 2007 Share #1 Posted January 25, 2007 Tomorrow is a big day in the land of OZ.The 26th of January is Australia Day, a public holiday. Practically every City and town in the country will be celebrating with activities, entertainment during the day and fireworks at night.The All Classic Motor Club, of which I am a member, has been invited to display our cars at the Rockhampton Heritage Village tomorrow. Should be a good days outing, even though I have to travel about 80 klms round trip. I know there'll be a 240Z there plus my 260 and we're hoping for a 280 to complete the series.I have a 2ft. x 3ft. Aussie Flag attached to the radio antennae. Hope it doesn't snap off.I'll take a few pics and post them when I get the film developed.Rick.:devious: :devious: Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/topic/23068-big-day-tomorrow/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Go240Zags Posted January 25, 2007 Share #4 Posted January 25, 2007 Happy Australia Day guys, wish I could join you to help you celebrate. Guess I'll just have to have a beer at home in your honor.

jackwarnock Posted January 25, 2007 Share #5 Posted January 25, 2007 Hey Rick, maybe you could tie your flag to something other than the radio antenna!! You are probably aware how difficult they are to find replacements for if you do happen to damage it.We will be having a quite, but traditional day with a BBQ tomorrow night with friends and a few quite ones - too old for full strength though!Happy Australia Day - send some rain if you can!!Regards, Jack Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/topic/23068-big-day-tomorrow/#findComment-196830 Share on other sites More sharing options...

boyblunda Posted January 27, 2007 Share #11 Posted January 27, 2007 G'day Rick and good to hear the day went well for you yesterday.On the matter of Fosters I think that the name is slipping as the iconic Australian beer that it became known for during the seventies and "The Adventures of Barry Mackenzie". It particularly seems to have slipped off its perch lately since it withdrew from most, if not all of its major sport sponsorship. I am not even sure that it is still made in Australia and I cannot remember the last time I saw it on the shelves in Australia while at the same time it was relatively freely available from liquor stores when I was last in Wyoming. I do not think it is shunned by Australians so much as just not really there to be chosen as soon as my last Coopers has been consumed - pray lord that the latter event does not occur and that Coopers remains safe from corporate takeovers.

EScanlon Posted January 27, 2007 Share #12 Posted January 27, 2007 Australians dont drink Fosters, and they called prawns.In the best Soup Nazi imitation..."No Beer for you!...Next!"I thought Prawns were FRESH water crustaceans, and Shrimp were SALT water crustaceans, and Lobster were COLD SALT water crustaceans.....But that's ok....No Shrimp/Prawns for Camo either....You're right Rick. If there were nothing else, he'd wizz and moan, but he'd probably drink it.E Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/topic/23068-big-day-tomorrow/#findComment-197066 Share on other sites More sharing options...
