The Incredible Journey

From left: Imp GT, Imp Mk I, Imp Mk II. Oh, the drivers? ... Debbie, Ron, me..

We arrived in Canberra one cold (is there any other kind?) night and bright and early next morning went around to investigate my new purchase.... At the Dickson BP there awaited us three Imps and this piece of paper...

• The Spares Car needed some moving.
• Rosemary can't believe she has got rid of Arthurs Imps
• The garage contained the familiar inevitable collection of Imp spares
• Down to the BP to view the new triplets
• Not too bad from closer up and no nasty surprises at the business end
• All started up and ready to roll
• RON the legend gets the Mark I
• A little fine tuning on the GT. I seem to have spent a lot of my life in this position.
• Drivers, start your engines!
• The incredible journey begins - the Canberra bypass
• First stop Yass. All is well....
• Homeward bound :) in convoy across the rural landcape of NSW....

Three very special people made it possible - Debbie and Ronnie Stafford, and Paul Culling who drove the camera and the Mitsubishi so didn't get into any of the pictures.

The full story as told in the HOCA newsletter.
