Club Cruise to Daylesford Motorfest
16th February, 2020
Sunday dawned a little cloudy and cold, but with the promise of a warmer day later on. So with the roof up on the old Plymouth I headed out to BCF by myself. Yep – all alone - no kids, no mates. Was odd because this was the first Club run in 7 years I’d ever been by myself.

Arriving at the BCF I was shocked to see several Morris Minors parked and a couple of old guys looking like they needed a Cruise to go on.
Arrgghh – we don’t accept Morris’s in the Club do we? No, turns out they did have their own cruise, and embarrassingly almost had more cars than us. Out of our 220 members – we had 13. Not a great turnout, but for the members that made the effort, it would be a good day.
We fired up the V8’s and sixes (sadly not a Rotor to be heard today) and cruised out onto the Calder freeway with the big Falcon Coupe in the lead. I had no-one to talk to but it was kind of peaceful being alone with just the wind and exhaust to listen to. And most members come on Club runs by themselves anyway, so it’s not that bad.

We cruised into Castlemaine and re-grouped out the other side in Campbell’s Creek. I could hear Phil up ahead in the Coupe every time he booted the 351 and it was a nice drive down into Daylesford. I was pretty happy that we didn’t catch any other vehicles and have to pass them, as it’s not too easy when you’re driving on the left and no passenger spotter. Daylesford was – as always – really busy and as we crawled up the main street in bumper to bumper traffic I was remembering how bad it was last year. This year though as soon as we got over the top of the hill, the traffic opened up and it was an easy cruise across the causeway, then up the hill and right turn into the Show. This year they had traffic management and it paid off. Nice work officials. Apart from the $20 entry.

We had all entered the grounds together and were directed to a grassed area to park. Last year it had been dusty, but with the recent rains the grass was mown and green. It was busy, with a constant stream of vehicles pulling in to park. The organisers had hoped for over 1000 cars, and looking around they might had succeeded.

We broke up and wandered off in different directions and just admired the rows and rows of classic cars. This show draws attendance from a wide area across Victoria and – like last year – there were a lot of vehicles that we hadn’t seen previously. As the sun got hotter and the stomach was looking for food and liquid, we headed past the hamburger van and then back to our cars. Trevor in the HK Premier had returned to his car a little earlier to find a notification on his windscreen advising he had won a prize for his car. As you’d expect….
Trev was stoked as he collected another trophy for his immaculate Prem.

​That was it for the day – other members had already left and there were only 4 of us remaining. We headed back out through Daylesford – still really busy through the town - then onto the highway towards home.
