MONTH IN REVIEW
It's been so great to get out and see some of you this month!
June began with our "becoming an official" virtual members meeting. It was great to see after the meeting a number of you deciding to start the process to become an official!
____________________
Our first social drive since lockdown was to Mount Macedon. Graeme and Jo were given a beautiful X4M from Mornington BMW for the drive and also had three of their sales managers attend in equally spectacular cars. The drive itself was amazing, thank you again to Peter for such amazing roads and great route instructions.
____________________
On June 14 we then had our first motorsport event after the COVID-19 restrictions, our Sandown Driver Training and Come & Try Day. We were the first event under a Motorsport Australia permit since the easing of restrictions! People were certainly keen to get back on track - the event sold out within four days! It was also fantastic to have Motorsport Australia media come along and do a video of our return to the track.
____________________
We ended June with a return to go karting at Auscarts, Port Melbourne. Only having competitors and no cheer squad in the gallery was a bit strange, but it was great to see our up and coming next generation of drivers teaching the old dogs new tricks. Well done Royce Lyne on your win!
You may be interested to know that this go karting event was our 100th club event!

Christmas in July Drive
It's that time of year again to dust off the silly Christmas outfits, dress up in your best Christmas finery and join us for some Christmas (in July) fun!
At the stage with the COVID restrictions, we will be doing this as a drive, with the hope to have lunch. Please be patient as we are trying our best to do the drive and lunch too.

For sale: 1983 BMW 323i Automatic
The car presents very well, with only minor imperfections. The interior is almost perfect save for two small cracks in the dash (Dash matt included). The body condition is 8/10 with paint peeling on the C-Pillar. There are two sets of wheels with roadworthy tyres (set in photos plus a set of bottle-caps). The car is completely original, aside from wheels. It's a very honest car that looks and drives great.
Asking: $10,500.
