My husband, Chris, has been in hot rod heaven for the last 5 days. He loves all things hot rod and always enjoys any event where he can spend time talking with his mates and checking out cars. This weekend, the Nationals were on at Parklands Showgrounds at Southport on the Gold Coast in Queensland. Saturday and Sunday were Public Days, so all the entrants had their cars on show on the oval. Chris and I spent all one morning checking out the cars as he is in the process of building our second one so we especially wanted to check out the Tudors. We now have a better idea as to how we want ours to look when it is finally finished. Below is how it looks today.

| Our Model A Tudor. An original steel car built in 1928. |
 |
| This is were Chris is at. New chassis getting built. |
We made lots of decisions on how it should look so will be interesting to see if we stick with them as building progresses.
Here are a few photos.

| Got to watch the Trotting as a race meeting was on when we arrived. The kids were covered with their own mini rods on display. Free rides as well. Food Stalls. Cars on the oval. Cruising on the Trotting Track. |

| The winning car, bottom left. Can you guess what colour our new car might be ? Just love that red. |
To finish, a Show and Shine at Coolangatta and a walk on the beach.
Finally, here is what I sent Kali in the Let's Celebrate Swap. My last OPAM finish for March.
Thanks to my friend Michelle Ridgway of
RagTag Stitchin for her wonderful bunny design. When I saw it in one of my current magazines, I knew I had to stitch it and am so pleased with how it turned out. So that makes 7 finishes for March.
If you have made it through to the end, Thank you. I didn't get a chance to reply to all your lovely comments on my previous post so many thanks. I can assure you I had the very best time. I also got to see my family as they came down to the coast to share lunch with us on Saturday.
Well must go, till next time Happy Stitching ............
