Friday night was held at the Moorabbin plane museum, the band was the F100's and they really rocked the night away, more photos to come from Saturday and Sunday, however I will most likely do them tomorrow when I can, time now to chat with the wife and daughter and tell them all about this great weekend that I had along with great Mates and my brother as well. We then finished this amazing weekend off at the Calder National drags this afternoon and we managed to get home from that at about 9.00 o'clock tonight so I am little tired as well.

The Saturday for the Reliability run kicked off at a private museum near Berwick, words cannot describe the private collection of cars and memorabilia that I have ever seen.

Once finished there we headed off travelling around Cockatoo - Gembrook and numerous other great little towns and the final destination for tea was at launching place, a great drive taking in some great roads including dirt gravel roads that just added fun to the whole adventure.

And some more from Saturday

My car after getting some fuel on the way home at BP Eastlink and also topping up the radiator, I got a leak in the radiator late in the day but all worked out well once Tony suggested I put some pepper in it to get me home, it held well and got us home trouble free, what a huge day but well worth the drive.

There were allot more cars there but I just run out of time to get more photos, but I am sure the pics I did get really give a good idea on how great this weekend was.

Finally every year that I have ever been on this run, one of the many highlights is the auctions held and I always end up buying a few things for memory sake, this year I got this doctors bag, the Vultures CC Tasmania run book and few RCCRC stickers, a huge thanks to the Bailey boys, there artwork is just simply the best. There were a few stories going around on Sunday morning after I won this bag in the auction about me and the docs bag but it was all in good fun, thanks to Tony and Vic.

Thankyou Gary for such a great selection of images, as well as your commentary about the 3 days.
You will really enjoy the Vultures book. Probably more because you now know a few of the gals and guys and put names to faces when you see them in the book.
Thanks again.

Thanks for the pics Gary, you even got a pic of the wife's 33 in the mix. We had to take that after my coupe came home on a tilt-tray on Friday arvo. Was good to meet you at the run also.

 

I borrowed an image from the thread below on the HAMB and combined it with one of Garyd's images to make this cover.

What a great weekend. It was great to meet a few people from this thread and see some old friends. The whole run is well thought out and a credit to all involved. If ever there was a ready made cover photo it would have to be Rhys' photo from the private car museum that was the start point. This shot is already going viral.

 

Geoff,digging these covers,Gary it was great to have a chance to chat on the weekend,rapt you got the bag.Cheers Bails

Hey Geoff, thanks for finding that missing hub cap. I won't need to look out for one at the Ballarat swap now.

 

Hi Gary.Thanks for posting those pictures.Looks like you folks Down Under have some really sweet rolling stock.
Good luck.Have fun.Be safe.

No worries Peter. It's all about the details. But I didn't think of addressing it when I first did the cover.
Now your lovely wife can say her coupe has been on the cover of Custom Rodder.

Here's another cover using a shot from the reliability run.
Now it's back to work on the house.

I was fortunate enough to spend the weekend and run with a hero of mine, great teacher and friend, big Tone. We all made it to the pub in one piece. Great day and weekend.

 

Hey Pat. roadster looks great. Love the single rear tail-light.
Was on the phone earlier to Tony. He had a great week-end and spoke very highly of your hot rod and said everyone loved it.
I see a magazine cover in the not to distant future.!
