On our weekend away drive to Bathurst, '55 '56 '57 Chev Car Club members were invited to morning tea at Bob Thompson’s house at Victoria Pass, in the Blue Mountains for a pleasurable morning tea and home-made cakes.

As you can see by a couple of these photographs the local weather in the Blue Mountains region was definitely a challenge, at 1,052m [3,450ft] elevation it was very crisp indeed.
And 'Wow!!!' what a great set up and man shed Bob Thompson has, every thing a man needs in life if you are a petrol head.

From Victoria Pass it was now time to drive to Bathurst to visit the world famous Mount Panorama Circuit and I do not say that lightly, if you ever have the chance to drive around this track please do so it is one hell of an experience.

On my first practice lap for qualifying I was lucky not to get booked, as I drove around Devil’s Corner at the bottom of the mountain just before entering Conrod Straight I looked in my rear view mirror and sure enough, there, hidden behind the safety fence was none other than a NSW Highway Patrol Vehicle just waiting there to book hoons like me.

| I managed to organise our two Chevy Clubs Presidents for a photo. John Fenato in the centre and Matte Reynolds on the right with yours truly on the left. How good is Bob’s Bar? |
By now it was getting well into the afternoon and we needed to check into our Motel for the evening to relax and settle back for the evening to watch the Bledisloe Cup Rugby Union and the Australian Wallabies spank those All Blacks arses, trust me it is not before time. We have been waiting a long time for this to eventuate. (Go you good thing).
Cheers for now.
Warbo.
