WEST COAST CRUISE
FEB 2008
After an early start and an enjoyable breakfast, attended by Chris
Day & Karen, Carlo, Ken & Alison, Val & Bill, Trevor and Natalie, we
were met by Craig & Corinne and the family in the car park outside
the Café.
After a brief chat a few of us decided to head off on the West Coast
Cruise. It was fantastic weather for a cruise along the coast. I was
amazed at the changes that had taken place around Port beach but
cruising through Cottesloe beach really brought back many a memory from many a year gone by.
We were driving along the first stretch of West Coast Highway when
we spotted, parked down a side street, Mick and Belinda. We
slowed so they could catch up and join us for the rest of the cruise.
Scarborough through to Trigg was truly buzzing with all ages walking, jogging, roller-blading and cycling. They all seemed to stop and
stare as we rolled by. Due to the low speed limits we seemed to be
stuck in third gear and the number of roundabouts was annoying.
We decided that this is not really a good place to cruise.
We arrived at Hilary’s around 12.30. It was jam packed with families
and tourists so we decided to have a bit of a chat and then we
headed off.
It was really nice to meet Craig, Corrine and the family - welcome to
the club. Also to catch up with Mick and especially Belinda after her
operation.
Looking forward to the next run and seeing you all there. Happy and
safe cruising.
Val & Bill.
Thanks to the club for sending me one of the stubby holders it was a nice surprise.I
have actually put it along side my 1:18 Biante model of my LC XU1.
I have recently rejoined the club and hope the south west side of things can get off the
ground.
A couple of shots of my torries .
Regards
Mick Clark Bunbury.

I
My addiction started back in 74 with my first xu-1, an ex police chase car from Northam, 2 years
old and strike me pink in colour. They knocked the price down to $2,400.00 and still had to fit of
two other xu-1 mad people trying to stop me.
Rebuilt the car from bumper to bumper and naturally changer the colour to a more manly colour “red”.
Sold the xu-1 after nearly 10 years she was sold for princely sum of $5,500.00 (1982 a lot of
money) to settle down and do the family thing ,, wife, three kids etc,,
Needed a car to go to work so picked up a 72 orange xu-1 rust bucket as my daily drive but no
money and practicality of a family car (holden wagon) won the day and sold it for $1,000.00 after
heated discussions about blocking it in my parents garage,, I still thing I should blocked the
bloody thing ,, my way..
Now 28 years later the whole thing has been started again with he purchase of this xu-1 via a
friend in melbourne and you know “only selling it for a friend line” was used followed by surprise phone call from the real owner offering the id TAGS as a separate item. After checking
with GMH and the parts ID BIBLE realized I had another bloody STRIKE ME PINK car to contend
with !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! we picked up the whole package inc engine block for $6,000.00.
Well the car has been to two panel shops with the second blaming the first etc you know the
story and now almost ready to be painted before the end of june (I HOPE)
All other parts are ready, seats, gear box, motor etc and in need of a home.
Relying only on memory and some good books and friends the saga starts again !!! HELP !!!
There is a lot of special people in the club that I won’t name but have been a great help to keep
the flame alight
Hopefully the car will be ready for GMH day in November so I NEED HELP,,,,,,,,
