I was lucky enough to run into a couple of other forum members Cheryl and Gricey and have a really good chat to them, I also ran into a few people that were involved in Bellett Colt dealerships back in the day. One of the guys that I was talking to was a neighbour of 1 such dealer Pat Crea and he had a lot of really interesting stories and first hand knowledge of the cars from back in the day. He was telling me that he had a lot of memorabilia and photographs from back in the day but unfortunately it was all lost along with his house in the bush fires in Kinglake a couple of years back.
Around lunchtime I was joined by my family for a picnic behind the Bellett and another quick look around the cars.
At the end of the day we hung around to watch the presentations as I was quite interested to see who had won the trophies in the bike section as I plan on showing my old Enfield next year. Well low and behold while I standing around I heard the guy on the stage mention some thing about a Bellett. Yes my car had won Best presented Race Car!!!!!! I was actually really embarrassed as I still get really excited when some one takes a photo of my car.
So in the end it turned out to be a really memorable day.
