Round the Houses.

We went last year as Neil (Dattoman) was competing in the Mt Clarence Hillclimb but we arent heading down this year.

Apart from the rain and the fact it was bloody cold!! It was a pretty good week end.

I attended the Albany round the houses,on Sunday,it tuned out to be a fantastic day ,loved the R/T Charger and the two Xu1s and the GTHO driven by Stenton,(not sure if they were original)host of minis too, which did well on the tight curcuit,lots of Alfas to and an old Isuzu Bellet. Briefly spoke to a bloke with a nice Linamint LCGTR in the car show section ,it got my vote.On the Saturday they had the hillclimb up Mount Clarence,but i could,nt make it on that day.I lost count on the various types of vehicles at this event,vintage ,veteran ,classic it was all there,its an annual event originaly starting in 1936 to about 1960 something and the organisers have brought it back hopefully for good.Well done to all involved.

me and the girlfriend were down in albany we missed the hill climb. but we saw the round the house rally. all the cars looked really sweet. loved whatching the red/orange GTHO V's Monaro HK? Vs Lj XU1. the last race with these cars was the best they all just gave it shit sounded so lovely.
