Most in the club have not entered in the event itself, but
we are making a cruise of it ourselves.

We are meeting at Tea Tree Plaza,(leaving at 9:30) cruising the route to Gumeracha
to watch the parade past by, then heading of for a feed and yak.

Forum members most welcome :wink:

Hope to see you all either, waving as you go past us, or
out with us 8)

Cheers

Just back from doing the "join in at Brighton Road drive up to TTP chuck a U to do the reverse run back to the bay" to check out all the cars!

Good turn out - lots of FB EK's, heaps of interstate cars and the overall quality of all the cars is way higher than a couple of years ago.

BTW - if anyone needs a HR front end, my advice is to get up to Birdwood today with a few spanners - plenty to choose from! :lol:

Thanks for the pics Stinga 8)

I reckon there were almost as many cars cruising the route
as there were entered by what we saw at gumeracha.
It took a good four hours for the cars to thin out :o

Mike and Sue, Roger and myself have just got home from Adelaide after being in the Bay to Birdwood. Was again a great event. The weather at Birdwood fined up nicely and was quite comfortable walking around checking out the 1700 cars. Was great to catch up with Ray,Sheridan and Brock and Cameron, also to see the rest of the S.A. club clan as we drove through Gumeracha.
cheers
