Farewell from Retro Rock-It

Retro Rock-It has rocked its last Camp Quality esCarpade...  

With a few too many clunks and shudders, and a busted brake booster thrown into the mix, the cost of getting Retro Rock-It ready for the 2024 Camp Quality esCarpade outweighs the value of it, so it's farewell from Retro Rock-It...

Massive thanks go to all the sponsors and people who have donated over the years - the boys couldn't have done it without you!

The fundraising link will still take you to the appropriate site, so please continue to donate, because...

It's not the end of the line for Damian and Hoges... 

The boys have a new car in the pipeline with a new theme... so keep on donating and helping the boys raise much needed funds for Camp Quality!

Once the new blog is up and running, Damian will post a link to it...  stay tuned!

esCarpade Day 7 - Goondiwindi to Moree to Narrabri

The boys woke to a bright, sunny day in Goondiwindi.  After the brake booster issue from Day 6, they decided that driving the bitumen was a sensible option... it still stops, and is safe, but best not to push your luck!

Heading to breakfast...

Under a very low bridge...

Breakfast at the Goondiwindi Golf Club.

With plenty of time to get to Moree for lunch, the boys stopped for a caffeinated beverage in downtown Goondiwindi...

Hitting the road...

And straight across the river into NSW.

Turn right at the Wobbly Boot hotel.

Another fire...

Past LUG...

Road train turning at Moree...

And arriving at lunch!

The Amaroo Tavern...

Has its own plane!

The final driver briefing for 2023...

And heading to Narrabri...

Forming up for the parade into town...

Classic look!

Parading into Narrabri... lights, sirens and sounds!

The official finish of esCarpade 2023... the boys have made it... their friendship is intact!

Time for the traditional end of esCarpade water fight!

Damo and the girls from Lego Legends... great girls who really excelled in their first year on esCarpade (taking out best new team also)!

Dave from SPIKA demonstrating the appropriate response to ice-cold water down the back!

With just the final dinner to go, esCarpade 2023 is just about over... the boys have had a great trip, and just need to nurse Retro Rock-It back home in the morning!
