So ..... What's a Woody and where do I get one?

For this thread our American friends are excused from answering. But why only 10% discount. Surely some should only get 1 or 2% then the big boys toys may be able to get a premium at 15 to 20%

Melbourne T&WWW Show EXHIBITOR DISCOUNTS

A childs doll dressed as a cowboy ( toy story )
so why did you think you would get ribald answers , I fear the gentleman protesteth too much

I think you can join Club Woody and pick up the discounts at the WWshows and get a discount on admision.

Woody – wooden bodied plane, usually antique (meaning Im not sure that a HNT Gordon, Mufung or a Japanese plane qualifies as a woody)

Woody – shortened version of wood worker, usually male and middle aged or older

Woody – a US automobile similar to an Australian station wagon or panel van with wooden strips on the sides (I have no idea why)


do i get a prize?

Thank you for the dispensation/exemption. Nigh lost otherwise.

Some of the first cars had all-wood bodies. See some of member Hickory's restorations. 1930s station wagons had wood doors fitted to steel bodies IIRC, and maybe a little more of the body. Nowadays, the wood strips are merely glued-on decoration to imitate the earlier work.

I'm glad someone asked the question. I didn't want to look blond AGAIN!

Although it might be a better look than the grey look I seem to be cultivating.
