On Sunday the 4th of November my Shire-based, local Car Club the Motor Enthusiasts Group held their Annual Show & Shine in the Cronulla RSL car park in Cronulla. The group is a regional group that caters for all marques & ages of motor vehicles.

Last Sunday's Show 'n' Shine was our best attended ever. About 46 cars turned out, the sun shone and the weather was great. After the morning's judging was completed, everyone adjourned to the Cronulla RSL Club directly across the road for refreshments.
We had an amazing variety of vehicles turned up, undoubtedly this is one of the strengths of our club.

| Helping to recreate the '50s era, today I displayed my US-drive-in restaurant-style 'Carhop' food service tray |
l entered my '57 Chevy Bel Air for judging & l am pleased to say that my black '57 Chevy was lucky enough to win the 'Modified Class'.
Gaining plenty of attention on the day was my newly acquired US-style Carhop tray, complete with food. A carhop is a waiter or waitress that brings food to a car in a drive-in restaurant. The word Carhop is play on the term Bellhop. Popular in the US from the '50s through the '60s - carhops were slowly phased out by the innovation of drive-thru style service.
l am looking forward to our Motor Enthusiasts Group's next outing.
Cheers for now
