This Sunday Let's Go Cruisin' are having a Texas Hold'em Poker run, start points are Bradford Badges at Mordialloc and Hoppers Stoppers in Hoppers Crossing. They will all meet at Sea Works, a Maritime museum at Williamstown. We did it for the first time last year and it was a fantastic day.
Big Deal I hear you say, what's it got to do with us?
Well I'll just been told that this old bloke has rung up wanting to display his Land Speed Car at Sea Works. The bit's of the story I have is that it's a 3 wheeler, was built at the time or shortly after Donald Campbell set his World Record at Lake Eyre and was intended to give the World Record a shake, but never ran, it's been sitting in a garage all that time ever since.
I haven't seen it, I dunno what it's like but I do know you would all shoot me if I piped up here on Monday saying gee you should'a seen what I saw! So don't say you haven't been told.
The guy that owns it won't be there on Sunday, but he does have some display boards that will be shown with the car and I will be following this up with an article in the next DLRA newsletter.[/img]
