Last Sunday attended the meet for the Ausrotary Bonanza Cruise for 2008. As the first little meet this car has attended it was great to meet other Mazda fanatics and a nice range of incredible 60's and 70's classics.]]> Project Story http://www.dawnindustry.com/Familia/index.php?entry=entry081115-232036 Ivan Bullock Sun, 16 Nov 2008 04:20:36 GMT http://www.dawnindustry.com/Familia/comments.php?y=08&m=11&entry=entry081115-232036 http://www.dawnindustry.com/Familia/index.php?entry=entry081006-222143
My heartfelt thanks go out to a lot of people who made this journey possible.

Jonathan of Japanese Restorer magazine, for his kindness and unparalleled knowledge of these vehicles, advice, and help finding the rare things along the way. I recommend J Classic followers grab his backissues as they are a great testament to these old things.
