Topped out & towering over Gosford's green heart, 7th September 2018

Singo's tower AKA Bonython Tower topped out and towering over Gosford's green heart.

Congratulations, gentlemen :)

From the Imperial Centre's rooftop carpark, 7th September 2018

The residential tower, seen from the rooftop carpark of the Imperial Centre, the shopping centre next door. I asked how many storeys it ended up being but then I promptly forgot. Was it 15, including the penthouses?

In the left bottom background, we can see the other tallest building in Gosford, the local council building. It went up in the 1970's and there's been nothing else than tall until this 21st century building boom. And this is just the beginning.

Work still going on to make it move-in ready, 7th September 2018

Topping out means the last concrete pour on the height of the building is done. There's still plenty of work to do inside and out to make the whole thing move-in-ready for residents in the narrower part of the tower and office workers and restaurant runners in the bottom part.

Pumping & packaging down in Paul Lane, 7th September 2018

It was all hands on deck down in Paul Lane, as more pumping went on in the inside of the building (pump line fixed to wall) black rubber things were being unpackaged and a big bin was being lined with black plastic for some reason that is unfathomable to this blogger.

More building site photos next week and a new Crane Count later this month.

Tricked out Ford in Woy Woy, 25th March 2018

It says "Ford" across the front and its shape suggests its the real deal rather than a kit car. I prefer my veteran cars to look original but this is nice all the same.

Painted up pretty, 25th March 2018

Painted up pretty with blue flames down the sides too, an extra chrome something along the side and even the old fluffy dice hanging from the rear-view mirror.

"Fordomatic", 25th March 2018

That chrome lettering near the front wheel says "Fordomatic". "Ford-O-Matic" automatic transmission was introduced in 1951 models. There were apparently some issues with the transmisson in the beginning then things improved with the Cruise-O-Matic transmission introduced in 1958 and the FMX transmissions in 1968.

Chromefest 2018 will be held on October 26th - 28th at the usual place: Memorial Park at The Entrance on Tuggerah Lake. It's 20 - 30 minutes drive from Gosford. The cars come from near and far and you can dress up in your fifties gear and dance to the live music. It's fun.
