June 2016 Drive Day – Garazi Garage and Liberator Bomber

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…

Grand Prix Display 2016

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…

Renault Roundup 2016

  Our roundup this year was held at Caribbean Gardens in Scoresby.  I think most people appreciated the change in venue from Docklands and we plan to return to Caribbean gardens for 2017. Justin Hocevar from Renault Australia addressed the gathering giving a little insight into the future of Renault over the coming months which was very interesting. The Renault Car Club of Victoria would like to thank all who…

FRENCH CAR FESTIVAL – 1 November 2015

We had a reasonable turnout of cars on Sunday considering the event fell on the weekend before Cup Day and the weather forecast was not overly inspiring. The cars covered many eras of Renault with some notable absences. Unfortunately there were no R8’s and no Dauphines.  A couple of notable cars were Mike Garafillis R12 Gordini, John Hardy’s Alpine A110, Joost Kuckartz R5 Convertible and an R5 Turbo2. There were two awards to Renaults on the day. One was a judged award for best Renault and that was won by David Jenkins for his R750. The other was a peoples choice award which went to Rowena Rasmussen for her Caravelle. We had three new members join on the day and we welcome them to the club.
