Our drive day commenced with a meeting at McDonalds Berwick, Unfortunately we did not realise there were two McDonalds in Clyde Rd Berwick and a couple went to the other one (I wont say wrong one). We remained mainly south of the freeway through to Drouin for coffee. Our Convoy had Clio’s 2,3 & 4, Megane 265’s, a Renault 750 and a Renault 12 Gordini. We travelled from Drouin to…
Starting from Mc Donalds, Clyde Road in Berwick. Assemble 9.00am for 9.30am departure. The coffee break will be at Nick’s Bakehouse in Drouin and lunch at the Moe Racing Club Bistro. The theme of the current exhibition at Maffra is “Never Been Kissed” meaning most of the motorcycles, cars & trucks have little or no restoration work done. Exhibits range from a 1908 Renault which remained in the ownership of one…
Last Sunday we had 15 Renaults (and a Mercedes) carrying 19 members and one potential new member for our drive day to the Farmers Arms Hotel in Beeac . The potential new member had previously enquired about joining the club and when I sent out the info I inadvertently selected “all contacts” instead of the social list. Even Vic Roads were advised of the run. We started from Glen Iris,…
We had an excellent turnout for breakfast at Garazi this morning. About twenty members and friends attended for breakfast and a talkfest. Not all came to see the Liberator so it was good that they joined us for breakfast. At about 11.00am we headed to Werribee and had guided tours of the Liberator and the restoration facility. As well as the Liberator they are also restoring a Boomerang (Australian designed…
The June Social Day is on the 19th and is a breakfast at Garazi Cafe in Yarraville followed by a visit to the B-24 Liberator bomber being restored at Werribee. Garazi Cafe is a cafe in a garage with old cars scattered throughout. Pretty cool. The B-24 Liberator is an iconic 2nd World War bomber. The one in Laverton is the only remaining Liberator in the Southern Hemisphere and is one…
The Club is having a run to Winton for the Classic Winton race meeting on Sunday May 29th. Some are travelling on Saturday and overnighting at Beechworth, others are going up early Sunday
We had a good mix of cars at this years display as you can see above. We had two late withdrawals including a breakdown on the way to the track on Wednesday. The location was excellent being only 40 – 50 metres from the track (you can see the safety fence behind the cars). This enabled us to leave folding chairs, umbrellas, car fridges etc. in the cars to access each day. Displaying your car gives access to all days of the event for yourself and a guest at no cost. We were allocated 15 places and could only fill 12 (including one car from the ACT). I think all who came along had a good few days and I hope we can fill our allocation next year. Glenn Armstrong
