Well last weekend I got an invite to attend a very special event, the 1st River City Coupe and Roadster Club's reliability run. Based on the US version from the 50's entry criteria was very slective, nothing past 1936, traditional styled Hot Rods. Half the events organizing committee's cars didn't even make the cut. It was sensational, best run I've been on in a hell of a long time.

We started out at Essendon Fields, then headed off up the Hume, cruised through Whittlesea, Kinglake, Yarra Glen, Lillydale, up over Mount Dandenong then down into the Basin finishing at Como Gardens. Anyway enjoy the pics...

Out on the road...

And final destination...















And the surpise at the end, George Hetrell's private gardens/museum. At 81 he still racecs this... 1927 Bugatti!!!Sound out of this was something in itself.















And Just for Mini....
