I suggested this event as one that CCC of NSW members should know about. It went out this week in the events email to all members. I plan to be there in BX or C5 and have advised the organiser as such. Hopefully other CCC NSW members will attend.

I've also promoted it on a couple of FB groups.

But you can have a grand day out trying. History shows us that if it even looks like being a damp day the French will win. The English don't want to bring their precious out in the rain as Lucas Prince of Darkness may be about.

Well, would someone tell Trump that? On second thoughts why not just send a few Prussians to knock on his door?

I happened to be in Canberra today and dropped by with my son. The French were very much out-numbered by the British! I thought I may run into Pugrambo or some other familiar faces or cars that I haven't seen for a while, but that wasn't the case. I'll try and upload some photos. Don't hold your breath, I didn't take many and only had the phone camera, plus I hadn't planned on going so was more focused on enjoying the cars with my son than taking pictures.

I took this one, heh

 

[pugrambo]

No spare time that day and too bloody cold lol
