Burwood Spring Festival 2014.

On Sunday the 21st of September a large contingent of IMSMC cars participated in the Burwood Spring festival, And what an impact we made!
Firstly, our colours, then the diverse representation of various makes, models and types of cars. We have been reported as being the largest group of cars from one single club!

 

And CONGRATULATIONS to ROBERT VITALE. Robert's FIAT 124 CC, was the Council Of Motor Clubs Australia judges choice, for the best car of the 1970's. Well done Rob!

 

The day was full of activities for kids and families. A large group occupying the "Dodgem cars" at one point!.Every store was open along Burwood Rd...international cuisine throughout the park! Our good friend Mr Creamy, extending his courtesies towards IMSMC!One location on the corner of George st & Burwood Rd, was very well frequented by IMSMC members (for lunch of-course!).

 

It is wonderful to report that many members (even though they couldn't attend with their cars) participated, visiting our display area on the day! Our "MOB" easily identified in the large crowd.

 

A perfect spring day, in perfect company a great result. Thanks everyone who attended. The "State Emergency Services" have expressed their thanks for our "long time" on-going support of this fund raiser event.
