Queensland Pre-Scrutineering

Damian and Hoges headed off reasonably early to Gympie where Queensland pre-scrutineering was to be held.


Selfie time!


Some familiar faces... err... vehicles were also present!


The sharkmobile is no longer, replaced by the buccaneers... for now!


Retro Rock-It lining up...


On the hoist...


Yep, that's a car!


Gordon hamming it up for Rachel's video!


Good to see Retro Rock-It passing with flying colours, with just a couple of minor to-dos...


Off to the RSL for lunch, where Damian spotted a Giggle Hat... how appropriate!


Lunch time...


Hoges having a refreshing sarsparilla!


Damian receiving his plaque from the 2021/22 esCarpade from Rachel...


Heading home, the boys spotted a nice old car...


One of the minor annoyances was that Damian noticed the battery has gone flat in the tripmeter...


Open heart surgery...


And with the new battery, the message is goneski!  More importantly, the tripmeter doesn't forget where it was up to every time the car is turned off!


New stickers and collateral... including a nice cherry sticker for Hoges (since it's his first esCarpade)!


esCarpade is sneaking up quickly... Damian has now booked the boys accommodation, just about has all the paperwork in order and Retro Rock-It is looking the goods, so just the packing and preparation to go, plus a couple of minor things that will feature in other blog posts!
