For this year we had 15 display place allocated.  Unfortunately Mike Garafillis R12 Gordini did not make it on the day.  We had many people interested in our cars, particularly the Alpines A110 and A310, and in the Renault 750. It cost each person $30.00 to display their car. In return they received 2 X 4 day general admission passes to the event. In addition, each person goes into a draw…

Our drive day for March will be to Marysville for lunch at the Bakery. We will be meeting at McDonalds Tecoma (rear of) at 9.30am for a 9.45am departure.

In addition to club members, anyone driving a Renault is welcome to join us.

As might be expected, there are Renault models and variants on the market in Europe that we never see in Australia. A recent trip to the UK, France and Germany highlighted this for me. However, my overall impression was that apart from the exotic Twizzy and the all-electric Zoe, some of the offerings were losing some of the traditional French uniqueness and flair.

Exhibits range from a 1908 Renault which remained in the ownership of one…

Last Sunday we had  15 Renaults (and a Mercedes) carrying 19 members and one potential new member for our drive day to the Farmers Arms Hotel in Beeac .  The potential new member had previously enquired about joining the club  and when I sent out the info I inadvertently selected “all contacts” instead of the social list. Even Vic Roads were advised of the run. We started from Glen Iris,…

We had an excellent turnout for breakfast at Garazi this morning. About twenty members and friends attended for breakfast and a talkfest. Not all came to see the Liberator so it was good that they joined us for breakfast. At about 11.00am we headed to Werribee and had guided tours of the Liberator and the restoration facility. As well as the Liberator they are also restoring a Boomerang (Australian designed…
