River Rambling

Hi
With weather finally improving as Australia heads in to summer I have been preparing the GPA for a 9 day trip down the River Murray.
Last week we spent 3 1/2 hours non stop running from Murray Bridge to Tailem Bend.
The weather was cool and spent the day threatening to ran, but this did not dampen our spirits.
At half throttle she cruised a long happily doing what she was designed to do.

To day we depart for our 9 day adventure with 3 other GPA,s. I will keep you all posted on how we go.
Regards
Richard

Hi
Well we made back after a great river trip.
Here is the first article:-


River Rambling
Renmark to Morgan.

I often feel one of the biggest mistakes in doing a first class job of restoring a vehicle is that you are then to afraid that you may mark the vehicle so it does not get the use it might other wise get.

This was the mistake I made when I restored my first GPA some 25 years ago. It was a first class restoration, but some how it never got the use it deserved. Family, work and a mortgage got in the way and the GPA ended up sold.
Then I had the chance to buy another unrestored GPA 9398 I committed that it would be used even if it did end up damaged.
