Norman Stewart award – best personal effort by a member
Many possible recipients, including one of our committee members…
The recipient for this award bought his car a month ago, found out about the rally by chance 3 days ago, made calls, paid entry, departed Sydney on Thursday and despite some vandalism in Yass, arrived yesterday.
The award goes to John Worthington in his ie Turbo Thema
Angela Verschoor award
Hard luck award.
A few notables – three punctures for Terry Julien on route from Canberra
Vandalism in Yass
Sticky needle-in-seat in a non-original SU carb – serves him right! Ken Palmer
But the winner is Stueart Milne in the Flavia today.
Do you have an itinerary for the event.
Being a fan of the marque I would like to see as many Lancia’s as possible (both old and modern.
Is there a show and shine display planed for the Saturday or Sunday as I would need to make travel plans from interstate.
