April Drive Day – Mornington

Twenty intrepid members braved the cold and rain at Bunnings Keysborough as we met up for April’s drive day. Fortunately the skies cleared as we headed south down the Mornington Peninsula. Taking the roads less travelled, our first stop was the village of Mt Eliza for coffee at the Cafe on the Mount.

4CV MUSTER – EASTER 2017 – GRIFFITH NSW

I was invited to attend the 4CV Register bi-annual muster at Griffith NSW over Easter 2017.  I had offered to transport David Jenkins’ 4CV on my trailer and use his car for the activities.  Whilst the Register is primarily aimed at 4CV’s (Renault 750’s), all rear engine Renaults are welcome to join. This includes Dauphine, R8, R10, Floride, Caravelle, Alpine etc. Any Renault is welcome to join in their events. We travelled to Griffith on Thursday to avoid some of the Easter traffic with the event officially commencing at 3.00pm on Good Friday. Saturday morning brought a short drive to a preserves factory for a tasting followed by a procession through the middle of Griffith to a park for a line up and photo shoot.
