A great run to the Linville Hotel today.
We had three club cars, Steve Collins, son Chris and grandson in his Toyota, Wilf and Kathy in their daily drive and 4 guests from the HK HT HG Club of Qld with two Monaros and a Brougham.
Unfortunately one of our members cars suffered a battery failure and it was RACQ to the rescue.
After meeting at the Northbound BP Truckstop on the Bruce Highway Morayfield, we went up the D'Aguilar Highway to Kilcoy where we stopped at the Coff & Co Bakery for smoko. We then went via the scenic route around Somerset Dam and out to the Brisbane Valley Highway before coming back onto the D'Aguilar Highway.
Club members Lance and Lenore Palmer came over from Yarraman to have lunch with us.

A lovely fine day for the Red Ride 2024 - Ride Against Domestic Violence. We had three members in club cars (all Toranas!) meet at the northbound BP on the highway. After some coffee we headed off to the Caboolture Show grounds. There were only a few cars already there, including a Torana SLR 5000 which we parked beside. More cars slowly arrived. There was a good band playing and plenty of food stalls. We had some good conversation with other car owners and just enjoyed the beautiful autumn day.

A good run to Rick's Garage at Palmwoods today. We had 5 club cars and a daily driver.
After meeting at the BP truckstop on the highway, Muz led the way along Steve Irwin Way through Landsborough and the Mooloolah Valley and managed to only miss one turn and take one wrong turn.
The food and drinks were good as was the company and conversation.
Unfortunately, we were not able to park the cars together so limited pics were taken.

Our Poker Run attracted 17 people and 10 cars, great to see, made the day a success.
We met at Buchanan Park Burpengary finishing in Woodford for lunch. Information Sheets with directions were handed out together with a car names quiz.
We had to scrap our route directions because of a major traffic jam on the M1. After a discussion at the morning tea break another route was decided on.
A driving skills test was conducted in the Burpengary High School car park. Several paper cups were flattened in the event, however 5 drivers managed to successfully negotiate the course without too much difficulty. Our ace driver Andrew Dunne in his red FJ was the first to successfully complete the course and after some consideration it was decided he won the prize.
There were 5 stops along the way where a card in a sealed envelope was handed out not to be opened till the final destination. Tim Leon won the prize for the best Poker Hand, 3 Queens and he also had 11 cars with birds in their names and won that prize as well, but being a kind hearted soul generously gave the prize to Steve Robertson who had 8 car names.
Overall a fun day.
