doesn't get more Oz than this ....?
72 HQ 202 trimatic (bought it for $900 with 12months rego) and drove it for nearly 4 years at which point it was so full of fibreglass matting and bog it would of floated Some guy offered me a $1000 for it so he could do it up and use it in the authentic HQ race series..


Lets see a few classic OZ surf vehicles people have had over the years .Not the tricked up sandmans/kombis but the fords, corollas, holdens you bought off your mate for 2 cartons of beer and a bottle of JD ....
classic shot of my mate (triple p, on the left) who died in a hang gliding accident sep 2000, who still owes me a carton of beer....
(RIP Pete)
PS one carton i am in no hurry to collect .....

If where I think it is, then about two hours north of S .....

One of my favourites (with a bit of swell), but haven't been there for years.

Is it really crowded now ?

(Surprising they still let you park on the dunes at D ....)

suba, just for future reference, naming spots isn't so much a good idea. Talking spots up the same thing, play it down, play it cool. You can name general regions, NW, midwest, north Perth, metro, Mandurah, SW, south coast. But naming specific locations isn't on, unless it sucked. It always sucks where I go . It's always 1' with 30+ out .

Yeah, we all do, so that's why we don't have to name it. I'm only comfortable naming Trigg Point, and that's about it. When I first came on here there was a thread about dream spots where I posted a screenshot from google earth. I thought it was pretty obscure. The place is difficult to get to, unknown as a surf spot and the chances of it being any good are pretty low. And I'd never been there. And I got reamed for it.

thommo knows he can name as many spots as he likes because he's got so many secrets up his sleeve that most of us will never even hear of, let alone visit.

Looks vaguely like H_r___k_, at the shop/servo. But the distances of things seem wrong.

I drove into the car park at my local and come across this awesome old VW,the guy who owns it just finished restoring it,lowered,skateboards on the roof racks,paint work was done so it looked like an old rust bucket,the inside was full of surf culture.

Classic mac!! He has done it up in the "gasser" style that's why the body work was neglected but was lowered and had that drag style tank up the front.
Love the old skaties on the roof
