SAVORING STANTHORPE - March 2015. Based in the tranquil surroundings of Sommerville Valley on the Storm King dam, this event had a little something for everyone. Food, wine, bespoke beers, lavender farming, a soaperie and even some truly pleasant motoring!

A WEEKEND OF TWO PARTS: Cruising the Ipswich region and the National Motoring Heritage Day - some driving and a cold radiator event. For the cruisy part, organised by Greg Hill, we were joined by cars and crews from several other clubs and everyone enjoyed a great meal at the Royal Hotel in Harrisville. Evening entertainment consists of repairs to Erik's T Ford under the carpark lights. Serious period dress was worn on Sunday and was greatly appreciated by the public.

Erik turned up and collected the trophy.
FAIL TO PROCEED. It happens to all of us... flat tires, out of petrol, starter that won't - about par for the course.
Two punctures in one day is a bit rough...
An unscheduled halt - T Ford people know what's happening here...
...and here!
Midnight starter repairs in the car park - Tech committee assesses the problem.
Repairs now under way...
... and done. Cheers!

BOREEN POINT RALLY, September 2015. The northern end of Queensland's Sunshine Coast is always worth a look, and it's even better if you're doing it in a veteran car! Rally Kommondant Russell laid on an almost spur-of-the-moment event and Rhonda Guthrie has provided just enough pictures to make the rest of us envious...

2015 VCCA (Victoria) COLAC RALLY, Colac, Victoria. Hot on the heels of the National event our enthusiastic motorists travelled south to Victoria's Western District to investigate rumours of highly variable weather, friendly people, nice cars and sheds full of Good Stuff. Rhonda Guthrie's pictorial report suggests that they found evidence to support the aforementioned scuttlebutt.
