There was an event with the Cadillac Club where there was a cruise along the coast with the Cadillac Club combined with the Buick Car Club, so Dave and I joined up with that and ended up at the Drive In movies. An interesting line up of cars and some good people. We watched the movie BOLT...which was fun. A nice balmy evening with lovely red and pink streaks through the sky at dusk. Havent been to the drive in for years. I think this was the last drive in left in Perth. Here are some pics Morgana - Karen and Ken's Hearse that was our ride for the evening Great photos - I do like the look of Morgana's rocket motor lights and took a heap of them recently... and who is that pictured in the distance of the last photo?

This is a public forum and as such photos will get lifted and can end up anywhere with the wrong caption attached. The net is a big place. It can be a great source to learn some really cool stuff. On the other hand a lot of misinformation is also available. Dave I accept your apology and I am not a big fan of Jerry Seinfeld. I always remember a saying I grew up with: "Sarcasim is the lowest form of wit". Although it has an excellent use as a tool for the detection of dementia I personally have never been a big fan it it.
