Actually I had a visit from a nice bloke called Ray from Melbourne who wanted to have a good look over Monty in his original state.
Ray made the trip up the Princes Hwy from out Rindwood way, cruised on a very comfortable 85kph and arrived just on 10am as arranged and what I bloody nice car he has to, a 1928 Chevrolet and looks every bit brand new since his restoration was completed 35years ago, the car is made up out of 3 separate vehicles which were gathered from around the Victoria & South Australia, the paint work is immaculate and very tastefully finshed off both inside and out....Great job mate.
It wasn't long before we both had our heads looking under the hood of ole Monty and to tell you the truth Monty looked a bit "rough around the edges" after staring at Rays car for a while but anyway Ray gave me a few tips and pointers and quickly ironed out a few motor troubles which was a great help, the motor is still "missing" just a little but it is getting there and will be sorted soon.
Time for a ride in Ray Chev and there is not much room in them really but down the driveway we went and I pointed Ray out towards Uncle Diggers house on the edge of town to give him a look as he had owned a 1927 as a young fella to flog around in.
They get along the road well, a little bumpy, the vinly tops jump and flap around, the motor is a little loud, but you can talk alright and I can see that in there day they would of been better than a horse for transport.
We arrived home, had a cuppa coffee and Ray was off again back down the Hwy towards Melbourne.
Many thanks once again Ray for the visit and a lovely car you have there.
