    Well, what a weekend, this is the fourth instalment of the river city reliability run held over the Australia Day long weekend. The action once again kicked of with a casual get together at antique cycles, a great turn out to see some very cool cycles.
    Saturday 60 of some the finest period hot rods assembled for the start of a 60 mile jaunt, starting at a steam train heritage station. The route took in coastal roads, winding through forest and open fields and wineries.
    Two check points later we finished the day on the opposite side of the peninsula, a pub on the waterfront at Hastings.
    Live band a great dinner, auction and plenty of socialising, a great day.
    Congrats to Shannon Cato, a well deserved recipient of our trophy, "spirit of the run".
    This morning, Sunday a quiet breakfast at rancho deluxe, Ben opened the shop, bacon and egg rolls, a garage sale before Ben heads stateside, great coffee, another auction and a farewell to our interstate entrants.
    A few special thanks, firstly the rccrc boys and their partners/wives,we do this because we love it, it's our passion, and the reward is seeing the smiles of the entrants.
    The entrants, you guys and girls rock, not only great cars but a great spirit,thanks for being a part of it.
    All those who support our auctions, a big thank you, without your support we could not do what we do.
    To all the clubs, Kardinals, Eldorados and especially the vultures for the great brekkie this morning, thank you.
    Hope I haven't missed anyone.
    I didn't take many pics over the weekend, here's a mixed up bag so add if you've got pics.
    See you all next year.
    Thommo

  9. Great pic and event hope to be able to make it over there one day, instead of being away with work.
     
  10. As always, looks like it was a great event guys. Well done to the guys that organize it each year. Looks like you got a turn out of some of the nicest traditional cars is Australia and it's good to see them in their natural environment, on the road!

    @lowlids Loving the "power park" at Rancho Deluxe;).
     
  11. Thanks to the RCCRC guys what a weekend, had a great time and loved that casual feel about the whole run. Here is my pics. Thanks again.

    image.jpg image.jpg image.jpg image.jpg This has become exactly what you RCCRC guys wanted it to be. The best event of the year in Melbourne. Perfect formula. I didn't take many pics this year but here are a couple of random ones

    looks like a great way to spend the day.
     
  18. Great pic coverage! I saw a few left hand drive cars. Can you leave them that way or do you have to convert to r.h.?

    Some are imports, some are converted to RHD, some are built here as LHD and some as RHD. Some could be original RHD but they would be rare. We are allowed to drive either so it just comes down to personal choice.
     
  24. Do doubt in my mind you guys know how to build nice cars and drive the wheels off! HRP

    Thanks Striper for answering my Question.
     
  26. You guys are living well down there.
     
  27. As well as a big thank you to the RCCRC guys for a great run through some fantastic scenery, I have to make an extra special thanks to Gary (509garyd) and Jase (63compact) for without these two I would not have made the run Saturday. Friday night my fan tried to go through my 6 month old radiator. Luckily it failed and only took off 6 blades rendering it useless. Gary (through his work) got me a great price on a new fan which I picked up at 8am and Jase was there to help weld back on the mounting bracket that had broken off at one end. Very grateful for there help as it enabled me to make the run!
     
  28. What a great bunch of cars, nice turn out !
