2005 Event Stories

Mt Gambier

This year there was a total of four cars entered and due to differing work commitments everybody got to the Mount Gambier motel when they could. For members who haven’t attended the Mt Gambier show, the motel is a few hundred metres from the fitness centre where the show is held (makes life easier).

HPDC V8 Supercars

Arrived at Caltex Boliver about 7.15am where most members were already waiting. We left at 7.50 amid the misty rain and came across our first obstacle of the day - a huge pipe for a wind tower on the back of a semi trailer - no speeding past the police escort.

Auto Finesse Detailing and Winery Cruise

Arrived at City Dismantlers approx 11.30 AM where we saw the "SOURSOB" already waiting. (Steve & Melinda’s GT) After some of the others turned up we made our way to the Auto Finesse Detailing Shop. However, before Colin started showing us the range of Mequires products, Darren stopped in to say G’Day before heading off to watch aerial ping pong (Crows supporter)

Clipsal 500

This year was a combined display between the three Tickford / FPV clubs and the HSV Owners club. We also had a change of scenery - instead of the dusty area where we displayed our cars last year, we found ourselves under the trees in Rymill Park. It was still the same old routine though - Maccas for breakfast, meet outside by 7.00am, let the HSV’s in first, set up the displays, Wake Up.

NSW FPV Club Cruise

This was a unplanned cruise, A couple of members from the NSW FPV / Tickford Car Club were in town and Adrian thought we would do the "Tourist in your own town" and show them the south coast. 10 Club Cars plus our two visitors left the Kurralta Park K-Mart and headed south via Cape Jervis, Victor and Goolwa. A short detour via the Myponga Reservoir found a really nice dirt road, glad we took the time to wash the cars.

FPV Family Day Weekend

We all had decided that we would leave Adelaide early Friday morning. This gave us an extra day in Melbourne and we made a weekend out of the trip. We all met at Tailem Bend at 5am, we all congregated around at the BP with our toasted sandwiches as we waited to make sure we would all be travelling together. Steve and Deb were up before 9am yes that’s right before 9am, we met them in Horsham for bacon and egg rolls at Subway. It gave us a good chance to fill our tanks and stomaches and stretch our legs again before we carried on with our adventure.

Mystery Cruise

Meet at the Hackney Hotel car park at 10.30am. Yeah well most of us did, Paper said Harbour Town and that’s where 6 of us met – the other 13 cars followed the Fridge Friend – guess which one was right? After a phone call and a short drive, we were all together at the Hackney. We were late leaving - now where are we going? Berri, don’t know about that.
