Hi to all,

Mt.Gambier was a great weekend with 11 cars involved and 2 others calling in during the weekend. Anton from Portland Victoria has a great story to tell about locking his steering column. No doubt Bruce Allen - 'Snake Tales' editor in Chief will tell the tale.

Whilst it was cold and occassionally wet in Mt. Gambier we had a great weekend and I think everyone enjoyed themselves. Both Bruce from Sth. Aus and Jason from Victoria are keen - `as is everyone' - to have an annual event to Mt. Gambier. Watch 'Snake Tails' for details. Bruce is considering calling it 'Weekend at Bernie's' I dont know if I should be flattered or concerned. I have just watched the movie..

I spent a fair bit of time looking at every part of the two Superformance Cobras from Victoria. Garrett - portifino blue car -took the motel owner Evan for a spin and really impressed him. Everyone was impressed with the two cars.

I have picked up some good ideas on how to stay warm and dry in a Cobra also.

I am now really keen to get on with my car.

I travel to Melbourne two or three times each month and work on the car at McDonald Bros. Racing. Nothing to do with the food business!!! The guys there have designed a great chassis that sees me sitting down between the rails. I can just see the leading edge of the guard. After this cold weekend I think this has been a good design.

Will keep you posted on my progress. Thought I was a bit of a dill trying to pick a colour for the car until I was told most have gone through this dilemma.

I have been getting some great advice.

Thanks also for the ideas for my trip to the 'Run N Gun' in October. I think I will visit the Shelby and Finishline business when going through Las Vegas.

Will keep checking this site. Cheers to all.

Give me a call when in Mt. Gambier.

Bernie
