Sunday morning we were up early. There was a rally on in Kalorama, in the Dandenong Ranges, and could either go directly there or meet people and drive there together ish. We thought that would be fun to do so we went to a pub in Ringwood called the Manhattan, to meet everyone.

A really great mix of cars arrived.

Some Fiats arrived and parked away from us, which was mystifying.

It looked like a few car clubs were being represented, with a number of Austins and Austin Healeys.

And quite a few veterans rolled in as well.

This one had a modernised interior with a radio and speakers and modern gauges included. Looked a bit odd but then hey, it's their cruiser, they can do what they like.

Wandered over to that Fiat Dino, so pretty.

This is a 1925 Rugby, with modern running gear as you can't find original parts any more.

That Citroen we'd seen recently, turned up as well.

This Lancia came zipping in quite nimbly.

More Fiats were arriving so I wandered over. Turns out the Fiat club had coincidentally also organised a drive, and same meeting spot. I suggested they come with us but they had other plans.

People were still coming in, lots of Austins.

A Jensen interceptor rolled in, but sounded like it was in need of some mechanical assistance, weird clunks.

This 40's Willys was an interesting participant

@vwdasher boy, I am increasingly drawn to the look of the 944.
@literatesavant they are a classic! Also the 968 deserves admiration.
