NRMA Motorfest


I was lucky enough to be invited to the NRMA Motorfest as part of Australia Day celebrations, so I drove it up to Sydney the day before. About 1,000 cars were assembled along Macquarie St - far too many to appreciate in one day. I meet Heather and the family in town and we walked along the street admiring the great variety of vehicles. There were too many cars to mention, so I have just posted some photos of red cars! The Sceptre had some positive comments from fellow club members, which was appreciated.

Not cleaned and polished

All cleaned and polished

Wollongong Car Show

Drove up to Wollongong Car Show on Sunday to check it out. It wasn't a big show but there were some interesting collectable cars, mainly Holdens! Caught up with a few people who had classic cars and met Stuart who has just restored a Rover Coupe. It turns out he just lives down the street from me. The car went well and had many positive comments, as not many people had seen a Humber Sceptre before.

Wedding Car for a Day

Wedding Car

Arranged to help out at a friend's wedding by driving some of the family to the beach where the wedding was to be held. Fortunately it was a beautiful day as we have had many wet, cold ones lately. The wedding went off without a hitch and everybody enjoyed themselves. I had cleaned and polished it for the occasion and my Humber Sceptre had many admiring comments, especially from the 2 guys driving the wedding cars - thought it was a unique classic car.
