Title: Two Days in a P
Post by: Doggie 1 on May 26, 2013, 10:39:12: Six cars (& nine people) from the Leyland P76 Owners Club of W.A. went on a bit of a drive this weekend.
We met at 0730 hours on Saturday at Armadale and then travelled in convoy down to Pinjarra for breakfast here:

After which we continued on to Collie in the state's south-west and booked in here:

On the way down most of us got flashed by one of these:

We were being extremely careful so if we receive infringements we are thinking that it can't be for much more than 104/105 in a 100 km/h speed zone but if we've done the wrong thing we're all more than happy to financially support our state government who are doing it tough. :D

After check-in, we headed off to the beautiful Ferguson Valley and had lunch (and a drink or two) here:

In fact, we sat under that very verandah for lunch and beverages. :D

Then we went back to Collie and visited the Collie Motorplex where the Formula Fords and Holden HQ's were practising for race day (Sunday) here:

From there we went and dropped the cars off at the motel and walked to here:

....and here:

http://www.crownhotelcollie.com.au/ (http://www.crownhotelcollie.com.au/)

...and another one that doesn't have a website.

Then back to the motel for some sleep before getting up Sunday morning to a beautiful, home-cooked breakfast here:

A quick re-fuel (for the cars) then a bit of a drive to here:

...where I took some pics for you. :D

A P76 T-Shirt. I reckon a Deluxe (single headlight) version with the picture on the front would make a great female's T-shirt. :D

A modified P76 in Envy Green.

And then it was head for home and back to my global friendly i30 forum where I was missed so much. :lol:

The End.

I don't think you'll find one on carsales.
Occasionally you do, but usually they are sold through the clubs.
We can always find one for someone who wants one.

Post by: Eureka on June 10, 2013, 07:11:40: You were right; none on car sales.

Post by: Doggie 1 on June 10, 2013, 08:27:36: There's one on Gumtree at the moment but I'm not aware of any others advertised.
They are available through clubs though.

Managed to squeeze 15.5 hours of overtime, two days of work and my daughters birthday party over three days (well I cheated and went 3 hours into the 4th day).... 7 nights of night work start tonight..... :Pout:
