Observation Trial Sun 18th Jan
Hi all,
Well the cruise last Sunday was terrific with a reasonable turnout of some very nice machinery including the Cosworth Sierra Turbo, the Herrod XR8, along with a good dose of XR6Turbos's, XR8's, T-Series & a couple of GT-P's.
The trial was brilliant with Brett & Louise laying a fantastic route of hills roads and sweeping bends with all eyes needeing to be ever watchful for the answers to the sometimes tricky questions posed by our organisers.
All but 2 cars completed the trial with nearly all question answered (occasionally correctly.) One car failed to complete in the time available, and only one opened the dreaded "I give Up" envelope. This couple, (who shall remain un-named but who's initials are Rob & Lori) were quite rightly awarded the "Golden Turkey" trophy. (and they're still married despite the event).
Ash & Lori were declared the "winners", with Tez & Chris "1st runners-up".
The convoy ended up back at the nominated Hotel in Gawler for a pre-arranged meal hosted by our club members and Hotel owners John, Helen & Marie. As usual, we were well looked after, the food was excellent and there was plenty of it. And, as usual, the company was excellent.
And once again, another full day followed by a late night.
Again, thanks to Brett & Louise for a great day and a terrific cruise, and to the participating members/friends for making the day such an enjoyable way to spend a pleasant Sunday afternoon.
Any other comments?
BJ
