Mt
Gambier - Adelaide
 A detour to see the Princess Margaret Caves and Len
decided to see if Robin's 928 had the 4WD option fitted! I think
the additional sand he picked up doubled the weight of the car!
Lunch in Mt Gambier before the run into Adelaide.
Brian's car refused to start in Meningie and thanks to joint
efforts was fixed after replacing the fuel relay with a spare
that Robin had with him.
What a welcome to Adelaide!
Must have been at least half a dozen local
928's that met us on the highway and we all drove together to
(Skinny) Craig and Tania's place with a huge welcome. It was
great to catch up with all the Adelaide guys and put faces to
names and everyone was asked to treat the place as their own (a
bold move!).
The following days in Adelaide were exceptionally well
organised by Ron, Craig and the other Adelaide guys. Including a
cocktail party at one of the owners bar, a Tech Day at Eddy's
place (what a cluey guy!) while a few of the ladies went
shopping (can you hear the cash registers??).
A drive down to Victor Harbour (and Rudy doing Tarzan
impressions) and dinner at Eddy's Cruising Yacht Club. The trip
culminated in a fantastic day out in Birdwood with the guys
organising a private grassed area to display our cars - about 19
in all!
At the final farewell dinner Len presented some prizes kindly
donated by himself, Robin and a few others. Some 928 models that
Ron found locally were snapped up quickly.
Prize winners included Robin (longest drive) and myself
(never quite timing the car washing correctly and washing it in
the rain). Perhaps there should have been a prize for the worse
version of the 'Rubber Sharky' song?
