Our First Outing – BMC Grand Day Out

Sunday December 4th was the first opportunity I had to take Miss Lucie out and put her through her paces. We convened at Bundoora Park, north of Melbourne for the BMC (British Motor Corporation) Grand Day Out. It was my first ‘Show and Shine’ and I kind of nervously parked her in back and happily chatted to people as they came past but wasn’t sure what to expect and felt a bit intimidated to be honest.

In any case, there was quite a bit of interest in Lucie and I had a number of conversations with people, fended off a couple of offers to purchase to her as well!! I actually learned a lot that day, not only about how these events play out, (about taking a thermos of coffee and a seat to sit behind your car) and about how Elfs were knock down kits when they went to NZ, how that affected their build etc. It was a pretty great experience.

Except for the sunburn…
