They seem to have built T2,T3, LT, Mercedes and probably a lot of others but Palamino appears to be the only model name.

Edit, and Autostrada.

Edit, Ultra-Autobahn......cue for a song.

So we're back!!! guys n gals
the old girl was starting to tell us to point home so we did what we were told.
In total we did 8690 Kilometres, met alot of great people, saw some wonderful sights and as the leyland Brothers said all those years ago
"travelled all over the countryside" !!!, Ive been home 4 days and have spent my time on ebay Smile and constructing a third driveway for Uglly Betty to call home.

Once things settle down a little, we'll get into it and cut a little more rust and paint the whole thing.
I've ordered new whitewalls, headlamp peaks and a quality caravan cover so I can "tuck her up" for the winter :)
This will probably get deleted, but I thought I should leave you with a memory of my excellent trip.
Feel free to have this blown up and framed for your gamesroom wall or possibly your wifes bedside tableSmileLOL

Not here. One would be immediately arrested pending an NSA data leak and as such one would be subjected to a multitude of frivilous lawsuits of sheeple claiming to be scarred for life. Murrica!

So just abit of an update.

I'm out of money. Nadine and I have just spent a week at the Cadillac nationals drinking beer and eating food and driving my kool car" :)
Since i last posted Ugly Betty has been sat but she is sitting on her own flash new concrete driveway.
The new Whitewalls have arrived and I am presently trying to fit retro headlight peaks to her which means somehow fitting them to the plastic grille instead of around the headlamp.
I'll bore you with a pic later today...
I need to go get a job so I can continue doing some more panel and paint..
Her next big adventure won't be till later in the year, I'm hoping to take her to "DAY OF THE DUB" in Perth (1000km round trip)

Righto Kiddies I'm back!!!
Been doing a little on my other cars so after the big trip Betty has been a little neglected :)
I've been using her as abit of a parts hauler, she's developed even more leaks over the winter months but we can fix that!!!, just need some time and money :)
I've built her, her own driveway so she has a home of her own, otherwise its been slow going so this morning I decided (in the rain) to fit the new floor, bit of retro going on here :)

Also gave her some sad eyes awhile a go!!

i have a new set of Whitewalls to go on her too, but thats next week :)
