Event Coverage BLACK FOREST DRIVE #5 AUSTRALIA

Saturday the 14th saw the 5th running of this event. DStaig, Peddro and myself have put this on for the last 5 years. Traditional cars only up to 1941 ( scotty!) No BS, good cars, good people and good fun. As is usual with these events things didn't 100% go to plan. The servo we start at got broken into so there was no fuel for people to top up to start the run.



So we left a little late, but in the end, we had a magnificent day, some good grub and just a damn good time. As always a big thanks goes out to all those who come and support this event, it was great to see so many smiling faces. Some new additions this year and I think they enjoyed themselves.



We had just under 40 cars and close to 70 people . So for those in the cold in the Northern Hemisphere, check out the sunshine.



Anyway. Photos. everyone loves photos.











PEDDRO is our resident artist and designed the poster as he has for all the previous years. These are numbered and for entrants only as a thanks for coming.

Some beautiful scenery. Along the way.



























Some great weather and open country roads. THIS IS GREAT!!

 

Saw this at the first stop. Guy had driven it from 600+ miles away. Great effort. He was filling up with oil…









Look at that cute bum!













Some great Aussie countryside. We try and pick routes that the type of country your in changes a few times, as you can see perfect roadster weather.
