Day 99 - 102: Clubman Nationals

Sunday, October 28th, 2007

I couldn’t pass up the opportunity to spend the weekend with 97 other clubman cars at the Clubman Nationals held here in Adelaide this weekend.  Thursday was meet and greet, Friday was the Climb to the Eagle followed by Southern Venture, an Observation Run and BBQ dinner back at Hahndorf Resort.  Saturday was the Hillclimb at Collingrove and sit down dinner at the Resort for 200 people.  Lastly, today was the Show and Shine at Birdwood Mill.  The weather had been kind to us for most of the weekend but was a little cool on Saturday arvo at Collingrove and miserably cold and threatened to rain any moment today at Birdwood.

Thanks to all those that made me feel welcome, introduced me to others, spend time talking with me about my build, took me for a run, let me drive their car and a special big thank you to all the organisers for letting me be part of this great weekend.  The weekend has certainly heightened my levels of motivation!!

 Here are a selection of photos from the weekend!!

Day 80 - Steering Rack Arrives from Canberra!

Saturday, October 6th, 2007

Well I know that my blog has been quiet for a while, but my husband Richard and I are currently away in Malaysia and Singapore having a well deserved holiday without the children.

Luckily, my parents are looking after the children and more importantly, my dad was able to meet the courier from Canberra to collect my steering rack and store it until we get back on October 15th.

Again, many thanks to Kim for helping me out.
