Scouts...that's I.H.,..not Boy.

We made it to the Scout Club Convention at Port Lincoln.  So many models and colours.  It's amazing.

The Scout was one of the original 4WD designed for personal use.

And as we listen to the pipes this morning (mmm..piiipes)... as they warmed up the vehicles, Chris, I know, is TRULY missing his Scout at the moment.  It's a testosterone thing for the guys to show their vehicles off to the others.  Sort of like, when girls show off their 'bargains' they got from the shops.

While most of these scouts are done up as the original, Chris modified his, which makes his a bit different.

Being a short wheel based ute with the up-to-date, colour  Neo' blue, the painted dashboard, (which our son-in-law did for us), the little cooler console, and a few extra bits, it truly is an exciting car to drive.

And being surrounded by the larger versions, our little ute would have stood out.  But.. still, we ARE having fun even though we're in the "Japanese" car,..or the 'Wife's" car.  Either way, no decent Scout man would lay claim to owning a Landcruiser.

Today, we meandered on down the peninsula which has a national park located on it.  This place is truly picturesque.  The water in the bay is pristine clear. 

We saw dolphins swimming along the shore and the emus were behind us in the bush. 

But never the less, a good day was had by all.  Tomorrow the Scout club has been invited to look at over 200 International Harvester Tractors.

 

Some how, that didn't appeal to us, so we're going to have a rest day while we wait for Col and Margaret to arrive. 

In the meantime, I'm off to bed.   And once again, I've run out of upload time, so all the pictures are being put on the "my space" link for the time being.  Enjoy.
