Let me start by saying that I'm no writer... Most people were already there at TTP when I arrived before 9am. Said the usual hellos, bit of chit chat, then we headed off about 9:10 for the 10min drive to Tiley Reserve. I got everybody lost getting out of the carpark due to recent building work blocking our usual exit. Arrived in a nice convoy, and parked in our usual spot on the perimeter of the oval, up the back by the hill. We had enough Vettes for two rows of cars, all up there were about 20 club members cars on display, I think that's a record since I've been going. With our great viewing location on the hill, sitting in the shade under the trees with a nice breeze, albeit on the ant nests, we could watch the oval fill with cars over the next couple of hours. Great collection of US cars to look at, more Mustangs than anybody ever needs to see in one place. Unfortunately, unlike last years rainy day, it was a very warm and sunny day, and due to the heat some of the oval people were leaving early, and large gaps were appearing on the oval. As a club display, we held out to around 2:30 with the last of us leaving just before 3pm. Even the organisers were impressed with our clubs turn out of cars and vowed to give us a little bit more space next year. If you missed it this year, hope to see you next year!
