From the Editor’s Desk by Shane Krueger Hello everyone and welcome to your December edition of REVS. With Doug off this month to the Nationals in Launceston I have put together this month’s newsletter for you. There will be no REVS in January, so the full run down from Tasmania will be in the next edition in February. Thanks to everyone that has contributed articles, stories and photos. Without you there would be no REV’S, but we are always looking for more interesting stories and/or articles for REVS. We will endeavour to reproduce all submissions faithfully, but might need to edit if required. Please let us know if there are any errors in articles or on address labels, apologies in advance if this occurs. Articles / ads are not necessarily pre sanctioned by the Executive Committee.
Closing date for submission of articles for February Revs by 15th
February 2015.
Email submissions to: [email protected], or post to P.O. Box 179, Rocklea, Qld, 4106
President’s Report by Shane Krueger Good luck and safe motoring to all that are attending the A.E.H.F. Nationals in Launceston. It will be a lot of
kilometres to travel and all are looking forward to the trip and representing our club at this prestigious event.
Sunday 30th
November was our Xmas run and lunch at the Woodford Hotel (report by Kel later in REVS), and
we made presentation of the Club Champion for 2014, Dave Clarke, and the encouragement award to Randy
Smith. Congratulations to both for their hard work and dedication to the club this year.
Once again it has been an enjoyable year to be a member, and have the honour to be President of our club. I
would like to thank all members of the committee for their continued support throughout the year. Also a big
thanks to all members that put their hands up to do the tasks that have been required, attending both meetings
and club runs is what makes ours a great club to a part of.
Don’t forget that the next meeting on 9th
February is the A.G.M. and if you wish to run for, or nominate
someone for a position on the executive committee. Nomination forms later in REVS.
Finally, on behalf of the committee, we wish all a happy and safe festive season and look forward to seeing all
in the New Year.
Wheels to the ground.

FX/FJ Christmas Party 30th November 2014 By Kel Towerton.
The day before run I panicked……… where, when, and what to bring to Xmas party? Quick call to Donna to
check payment and meeting times, then a scan of pantry for a Christmas hamper item. Doh, no luck there, only
just a half-empty a packet of Weet-Bix and some a stale SAO biscuits!! Then I spied a set of still-in-the box
Red Holden tumbler and jug set from a raffle win on a previous Christmas party. Bottler, do the trick, and no
one will be the wiser (Oops, cats out of the bag now). I never did get all that collectable stuff anyway, who
needs a tumbler set to remind them of what car they drive
anyway!
Zipp…………….. Fast forward to the MI an hour later.
Some old couple trying to drag my attention and beeping
the horn and wav’in as they go past……. another of those
reminiscing folk (my dad used to have one of those)
recalling their youth.
Oh sorry, it’s Rosanne and John Gager (they’re still
relatively young really and good looking) in their Honda on
the way to the meet point, oh so I’m not that late after all.
The days turned out to be pretty good and it is mild. After a couple of hot stinkers we have had lately, it’s a
relief. Warm but pleasant and still no showers in sight.
So at the start point, normal meet and greet, and
Peter Whalley done another stellar job of briefing
the assembly for the run, and as Tony Greg
would have said, ‘And what a magnificent job
he’s done this year, awesome form and batting
well-above-the-average!’
On the road and I singled in amongst the group
leaders to ensure I was not ending up on the
wrong road, as good as Pete’s directions are, its
nigh-all-but-impossible to read them whilst
driving. Lyn had elected to follow along later in
the family car and meet us at the Woodford Pub.
In the 13.5 years of my FJ Ute ownership, she has yet to sit inside the old FJ!
Still as I was driving along I thought of some unstated advantages of going solo on the runs. Firstly you have
the right to make a wrong-turn or some driving indiscretion, without having to get discouraging comment from
she or he that sits beside you. Many an argument has ensued between me and the better-half over bloody
directions! Secondly; you can sing your favourite song, curse at other stupid driver’s bad driving habits or let
that pain in the gut from last night’s curry pass, without hearing a complaining wailing louder than fire-engine
beside you. And lastly, you can engage your thoughts and listen to the purr of the engine without being asked
questions or pestered about things you had promised to do, but have yet to accomplish at home. So you can see
all clearly see why I travel alone!
So finally we climb the mountain and the FJ is flying up
the range, only to be slowed by the car in front, when a
green flash passes by like a punter collecting his
winnings bet at the Melbourne Cup. It’s Willy giving
the FX its head as he manoeuvres past, apparently tired
of following in my wake. Once at the top of the
mountain the serine blue haze of the Glasshouse
mountains backdrop behind the green pastures of the
valley below, reminds me why I love the region so
much. These are the roads my friends that old Holden’s
seem to give their best and belie their short-comings.
Until your mind has wandered a little…………….and then you meet a sharp downhill section and you have to
stand on the brakes hard before almost greeting the car in front’s bumper bar. The joys of FJ stocky ownership!

A steep dive to morning-tea stop at the Bird sanctuary and gardens stop at Maleny, has the brakes warming –up
once more, after recovering from the former stop above, and me hoping that Willy’s are good if mine fade!
Morning was scrumptious home-made scones jam and fresh-cream served with tea or coffee.
In a rotunda and once again we had those glorious Glasshouse
Mountain views to be appreciated. After the scones and
tea/coffee there was made a bit-of-a-fuss over a certain club
member who had happened to have a birthday that coincided with
the club run date. Now I’m not usually excited about birthday
celebrations (particularly for adults, and certainly not for me) but
in this case I decided to make an exception. For it was Jill
Manganaro who is one of my favourite club members and is
always cheerful and willing to help anyone whenever the
occasion requires. So it was happy birthday and three cheers to
Jill, before she cut the cake and then took a piece over to Tony.
After smoko it was off to the bird aviary (for those who wished to
visit it) and the women were warned to remove their jewellery,
especially earrings, which are a favourite item to
retrieve from the tourists by the birds. There was an
outstanding collection of both exotic and native in the
thousand square metre cage. There were many species
from the parrot family including Macaws from South
America that loved all the attention (and almonds) that
they received from the crowd.
Then one Rosella decided to have a nibble at a recent
sun-spot removal I had on my ear, and left me with a
trickle of blood running down my neck.
Back on the road, and another scenic drive as we
descended the range passed Bellthorpe, which has some
magnificent stands of Ghost-gum eucalyptus. I have
previously visited some of these properties when
working for Greening Australia on native forest
management issues. Once back on more level terra-
firma I was relieved that I had no brake-fade issues, as
we cruised behind Woodford over Neunham Creek (base
of Mt Mee) and passed the correctional centre and into Woodford.
Lunch was in the historic Woodford pub which was the only one in town and therefore hard to miss. This is
where we met the remainder of club members and
family who had not wanted or had the time to
spend touring the Blackall ranges in the morning.
Over the road were some classic cars and hot-rods
that were parked together eluding to the fact there
were other clubs that were visiting the region, on
this fine day.
Lyn met me here and we joined Ricky and Tanya,
Maurie and Helen at our table and enjoyed a three
course meal of seafood, roast and sweets. It was
above the normal pub-fare meals and represented
good value for the money. Talk around the table
was of Rick and Tanya’s immaculate HG Monaro (see attached photos) and Maurie’s upcoming trip to the FX-
FJ Nationals in Tasmania.

After the raffle for the prior mentioned Christmas
hamper, there were the traditional speeches for the
good effort that Shane and the committee had put in
this year (especially to Tineke Whitten De Meer, who
had stepped up into the secretary’s job and had done
an excellent job). Two awards were given also the
first an Encouragement award to Randy Smith (who
wasn’t able to attend the run) and Club Champion
that went Dave Clarke who put in a lot of behind the
scenes work as back-up secretary until it was filled by
Tineke, and many other support roles he provided to
the club over the year. Well done Dave!
All in all this was one of the best organised and
orchestrated Christmas Parties the club has arranged
and thanks must go to Donna, Peter and the
organising committee that made this day the success
it ultimately became. Thanks Team!

FX/FJ Run 14th
December 2014 by Kel Towerton.
The day was overcast but a pleasant change to the hot humid days we had in the past weeks.
I arrived at the clubhouse early, with only Les and Sue Ross the only club members who were already there
before me. I was surprised to see Les driving a Ford Territory in lieu of a Commodore, but this is what work
provides, and today it was doing the chuck-wagon towing duties.
There were two utes and two sedans with two more
sedans joined us at the Redlands morning-tea stop.
Once again I was the only solo entrant. Apart from
waiting to get all the cars through the traffic lights it
was a scenic, but otherwise uneventful cruise to
Redland Bay.
Here we were joined by Alan and Liz Streader and
Sheryl and Jim Kilalea in their humpies. I have
always believed the marron interior on all black or
white car looks good and Alan’s black FJ is no
exception. It was enjoyable have our morning tea beside the sea with the sea breezes that accompanied it.
After smoko and the obligatory photos we headed back via the back roads, through Beenleigh and along
Camp Cable Road and Mt Lindsay Highway to Maclean’s Bridge.
It was almost a case of having the whole park to ourselves
and it was surprising cool under the pine trees as we ate
our burgers and remarked how quick the year had passed.
Bob Scofield then surprised us when he produced a plum
pudding and custard to seal another well organised run by
Peter.
Thanks Pete and all who attended.

Run Policies and Etiquette….. by Donna Hinds / Les Ross
Run participants are:
1. To ensure that their vehicle has adequate fuel to reach the destination or the next planned fuel stop. Run
departures will not be delayed for those vehicles needing last minute fuel; there is always ample time
before departure time to refuel.
2. Urged to be on time for the commencement of the run, 8am for 8.30 means be there at 8am, have a chat,
refuel, go the toilet, get a coffee and be ready for the run coordinators instructions. Should a member be
running behind, or wishing to join the run en-route please contact the run coordinator long before run
commencement time.
3. Urged to keep together wherever possible, particularly in built up areas. The leader will pull over where
safe and wait for everyone to get through lights etc.
4. To keep a eye out for the vehicle behind and shall slow down or stop so they can catch up before taking
the next turn, if this is done then the Run Coordinator would slow, and if required stop.
5. Not permitted to overtake the designated run leader. However members may move about in the group,
overtaking when safe and legal.
6. To keep to approximately 50 meters behind the vehicle in front where safe and practical, this allows
other traffic room to pass and lets the driver in front know that you are having no problems.
7. Encouraged to remain with the group until the agreed point at the end of the event. This also applies to
static displays such as car shows etc.
8. Encouraged to carry a small portable UHF CB radio and set it to Channel 20. Such radios are relatively
inexpensive, and have ranges varying from around one to five kilometers. Have a spare set of batteries
in the glove box. They are invaluable and a medium by which to keep informed about what is going on,
and to let the group know if you have become separated or broken down. They are also very good in
areas where mobile phones do not work.
Run coordinators are:
1. To provide a drivers briefing prior to departure for the run.
2. To lead the run, keeping to approximately 10km/h under the speed limit where possible (slowing down
if vehicle behind is out of sight).
3. Provide the address of each stopping point, to allow those that may get lost the chance to catch up.
