I’d like to share with you a great weekend I
spent on the first burst of warm spring weather - I was invited along on a “run” of the Alvis
car club. What great people they are, welcoming
me into their group. Some had traveled a long way to join the run, one pair of
Tasmanians. We had great fun over two days driving out in their beautiful cars
around the lovely spring roads of Metung, Nowa Nowa, Lake Tyres, Lakes Entrance
to Paynesville, and sampling the hospitality of East Gipsland. I was the passenger in a 1926 Alvis---- sun
on my face, wind in my hair (lots of wind), and the scents of spring as we
drove the lovely backroads. This is
something you don’t get in modern motoring, we are insulated from the world we
drive through. And sometimes that is a good thing. The sense of speed was exhilarating at 40 ish
mph ( what’s that in Kms?). There was
some dressing up, speeches, and fun and games at the dinner. On Sunday we
visited a fabulous collection of motoring and military “stuff” in Paynesville,
and an excellent lunch at the Boathouse,
concluded a great weekend.
