Maclean’s Bridge at Lakeside Sports and Classic car Festival... and new activities hand-in-hand with the traditional, and definitely not to be missed.

• Sports and Classic Car Display – all classic sports and related vehicles in a tableau of automobile glamour and history. Sports car marques actually displayed on a racetrack –not to be missed!

• A Restoration Theatre – experts show their skills for DIY restorers. So, when enthusiasm exceeds competence, the DIY restorers will know who to call – not to be missed!

• A specialised Sports and Classic Car Auction – conducted by Pickles Auctions. (See www.pickles.com.au ) The inaugural auction at Lakeside – not to be missed!

• Track time – for serious sports car drivers. Lakeside Raceway busy with all marques of classic sports cars in the year of the 50th anniversary of the Raceway. What a photo opportunity -- not to be missed!

• Guest classes – for heritage vehicles. See what may be the parents and grandparents of the classic sports cars – not to be missed!

Mclean's Bridge at Lakeside?? .... hahaha, I had to read that a couple of times to make sure I got it right.
Are you displaying or spectating? If the former then I'll do the same, if the latter, can I hitch a ride?

Thanks Minx will look good out there. I have space for fifteen cars.
Hope iRed5, Tezzax5 and any others can join us.
Will be a great day as it has been heavily promoted.

I will try and make it. Don't think I will be there though for the early start.
Cheers Novice1

Thanks for holding a space for me Neil but you may wish to offer it to someone else..

While the event itself was well promoted the lack of motivation from within the SEQ MX5 community has prompted me to create Plan "B".

A few forumite friends,a spirited drive,a couple of beers and some homestyle pork ribs at one of the best views in brisbane has become the better option.

Have a great day there

The boss should be there in the NC, while I will hopefully make the trip in the Elan.

Mazlot thanks for the reply

Hope to see you, the boss, NC and Elan out there on Sunday.

Add a Red SP to the contingent to depart from Grand Prix

Neil,

should have mentioned we will be making our own way to Lakeside.

90 VSP · Postby **90 VSP** » Thu May 12, 2011 12:21 pm

Thanks for that as I have said the group leaving Grand Prix should be there by 8am.
I will try to leave right on 7:30am. There are others who have indicated they will meet us at Lakeside.
