Venue is A-OK for GDFC

I visited the Murarrie Recreation Reserve this morning after picking up the trophies and certificates. The rain overnight and this morning has done little more than lay the dust and freshen up the grass. Everything is in place for a great Grand Display of French Cars on Sunday!

Great day, perfect weather, decent coffee, very well organised - the Renault boys know how to party :headbang:

No camera so I hope others will have pics of the day, caught up with many good friends - my trophy goes to the Wilson family who almost had a display of their own, great effort :citplak:

Cheers
Chris

 

[56 Fregate]

Agreed, 'twas a good day, glad to catch up with yer Chris.

I didn't get many pics either but there was a guy called Fivedoor walking around with something that resembled a bazooka, he should have a few.

 

[FIVEDOOR]

I'll have to sit down and make the files somewhat smaller before I can load them up

 

[FIVEDOOR]

I'll do some later.

 

[graham66]

Seemed a little down on numbers this year?

[GreenBlood]

Seemed a little down on numbers this year?

I don't know the numbers but yes probably down on previous years, I guess the earlier date caught a few out. I know a few that still expected the date to be closer to Bastille day as in previous years.

Cheers
Chris

The site is so flaky at the moment(compounded by my pedestrian speed internet connection), took forever to load the above three photos. Not in the mood for patience. Might try later with the rest

 

[Matthew]

Missed you and a few others there

I came early and left earlish, started to feel bit off colour. Been sick all week, today was the first day I was feeling bit better. I did manage to catch up with JR and 59Floride, kept an eye out for GreenBlood but missed him also.
