Torquay Rotary Club Car Show - November 1st

[SilverRA23]

Just got an invite to a car show down at Torquay run by Rotary.

Apparently had 150 cars last year and it sounds like a good day.

Perhaps it could be a cruise for CH plated cars and then a bit of a show n shine. Anyone interested in going?

November 1st is the Sunday before Melbourne Cup.

There is an entry form for it and a cost of $5 to enter. If you want the form PM me with your email address

Dear Motor Enthusiast,

On behalf of the Rotary Club of Torquay I would like to report on the Torquay Motor Show held in November last year. It was this Club’s first Motor Show and by all accounts was very successful with car owners and their treasured vehicles coming from far and wide.

There were over 150 vehicles on display and each and every one of them contributed to the success and shine of the event.

This year, on Sunday 1st November, the Sunday before Melbourne Cup Day, the Torquay Rotary Club will again be running the event. We would be delighted if you would drive on down the coast road to help us show off your vehicle.

The event will be organised in a similar fashion to last year, but with improvements to layout and the entry process with extra events and displays to add the celebratory atmosphere to the day.

If you would like to enter this year’s show it would be appreciated if you could firstly leave a message on the Club’s mobile phone number or email Greg (address below), and secondly completing the attached Entry Form and bringing it with you on the day.

The entry fee will remain modest at $5.00 per contestant and spectators. There will be Devonshire teas provided by our local Relay For Life team and a variety of delicious food and refreshments available at any of the nearby cafe’s.

Members of the Torquay Rotary Club look forward to meeting you and seeing your unique vehicle. Please feel free to email or telephone the Club with any questions or suggestions about the day.

Yours in Rotary

*waits until the weeds have finished rolling by*

so, this weekend it appears this is on.

i'll be heading down in the crown, hopefully enjoy some window down beach weather.

anyone else interested, aside from SilverRA23??

[SilverRA23]

*crickets*

I have formed a plan.

Anyone who wants to come along, meet at the BP servo on the Princes Freeway at Little River (Avalon Airport - Geelong bound side) at 10.30am.

dfunkt i reckon we just meet you there eh?

[dfunkt]

hmm, it's a bit of a back track down from corio....but it's better than the back roads i could take from old geelong road to avalon.

**ding** (lightbulb moment)

i have a halloween party satday night in hoppers, so it might be a nice late wake up and short hop down the princes.

winnah!

[SilverRA23]

For any one who wants to come have a look, this is going to be held around "The Elephant Walk" which apparently is near the end of Zeally Bay Road at Torquay.

I might come down for sticky beak on sunday as the business l was working for has just gone broke and l don't think they will be open.

Will give the 65 a run.

[dfunkt]

any idea if i can get into the BP from the back, via Posties Rd???

[SilverRA23]

pass......

[dfunkt]

haha, righteo.

just did some map work, it'll take about 45-50 mins to get from BP to Torquay.

i'm waiting to see if katie wants to enter the crown. if she does, we'll have to skip the meet point.

i'll post up later today.

[SilverRA23]

Yeah fair enough - I emailed the guy last night and he was keen for some classic Toyota entries.

Wish I had a Toyota that was road reg'd and all in one piece!!

[dfunkt]

you can swing by my place and take our 55 coupe

something i should've asked at the meeting, are there any TCCAV stickers i can put on our cars??

i need to buy a shirt or 2 as well, but i'll do that at the meeting in two weeks.

[SilverRA23]

hehe tempting but I think the diversion may see a sense of humour failure in my co-pilot

Pete has stickers. I will get him to bring a few on Sunday.

[dfunkt]

awesome.

have confirmed with Katie that we'll be entering the crown, organiser advises to get there around 10 for entry

we'll see you both (hopefully more) when you get to Torquay.

[dfunkt]

have just purchased a new cardigan/old man jumper for sunday.

i hope it's a bit chilly down there, i would hate to have to leave it at home.

I was hoping to get to this event, but I have been unable to get the RS40 on Club Rego in time as the scrutineer would like to see it "cleaned up more".

Get plenty of pics.
