National Motoring Heritage Day 2019

On a crisp autumn morning, we met at VC Partridge Rest Stop on the Hume Highway as we ventured along Picton Road with views of the morning mist and clear skies.

Our convoy of 23 cars made our way along winding roads and breathtaking scenery passing the coastal town of Kiama and surrounds. Entering the Berry showground, we were engulfed by a sea of historic, vintage and classic vehicles.

In the usual IMSMC style, homemade coffee and biscotti were passed around and eagerly consumed.
As an added bonus we were accompanied by Ms Masako Fukui and Caterina Pacilaeo invited guests of Rose Cara.

Masako is an ABC Radio journalist who interviewed members and recorded audio of the vehicles’ engines for a possible program. Caterina is a Sydney based photographer and artist who is interested in photographing classic vehicles for their artistic value and took photos of the cars parading in the showground.

It was wonderful to see our members passionately talking to Masako and Caterina about their cars. The members were excited and animated as they shared their stories with both reporter and artist.

A new and refreshing experience was had by all.
