[SEL] Rusty Iron Rally

[michael christie]

great pics patrick and sounds like it was another excellent macksville rally, being that i am a big cooper/stover fan and that the theme for the rally was cooper/stover, going by your pics there didnt seem to be many there? bit dissapointing as i was hoping to see lots of pics of different cooper/stover engines, i thought there would have been heaps of them there?

    cheers

> Home and starting to recover from a big weekend. We left home on Friday
> morning and were in Macksville in 6 hours which was not too bad given all
> the road work on the highway and the general poor condition of the road (I
> think I lost my kidneys at one point).
> The YC Stover was soon on the ground and covered for the night. The Mid
> North Coast Club put on an excellent dinner on Friday night in their club
> shed with plenty of food and the large number of people were fed quickly.
> The Saturday night dinner was at a new venue and it was very good. Plenty of
> good quality food served quickly (I went back for seconds but could not fit
> thirds and dessert). The 'official' part of the evening was over quickly and
> we were back at our Motel by 9pm.
> Saturday the Stover started first pull and ran for 6.5 hours without missing
> a beat. Sunday it also started first pull and ran until it used up all its
> fuel (about 1230) which was perfect timing as that was my shut down time to
> load for the trip home.
> The weather was perfect all weekend which resulted in a big turnout of
> exhibitors and a huge crowd through the gate. There were lots of very nice
> engines both beautifully restored and in their 'working clothes'.
> Another great Rusty Iron Rally so now I can hardly wait until next year and
> our own rally at Clarendon in two weeks!
