French Cars

New venue this year for the French Cars, with a move from University of Queensland to Brookfield. Six Baysiders (seven including Kevin’s DS on display) made the trip. Besides the usual Renaults, Peugeots, Citroens and Simcas there were three vehicles of special interest: a Delage, a 1912 Renault and a Goliath.

Well-done to the Tri-Club Committee for organising the day and a ‘thank you’ to David for including the event in Bayside’s calendar of events.

Club Run – Butter Makes it Better

admin — Tue, 29 Apr 2008 08:00:33 +0000

Our Sunday run to the Kinston Butter Factory co-incided with a Logan City carnival, which mean that there were many displays and other trucks and Jeeps on show. The display of live bats, ranging from microbats, smaller than the palm of your hand, to “Gilbert” the fat and black fruit bat, like a flying fox terrier. All tame, but perhaps not best as pets. There were 6 or 7 Bayside cars, plus Cheryl’s Bedford, which was on display.

Lunch as was at the popular duck pond park at Beenleigh where about a dozen Baysiders sat for a pleasant two hours telling the usual tall stories, some of which where probably true. Richard’s tales of recent exploits on the Great Wall of China and his ‘run-ins’ with mendicant monks made an interesting change from the usual car stories.

We forgot to feed the ducks, but it was a very satisfying Sunday run.
