At the recent charity lunch for Cerebral Palsy, members of Women in Racing auctioned off trips in their convertibles. So today both drivers and auction winners assembled for a drive to Tidbinbilla.
It was a perfect day, warm but not hot, sun, blue sky, and a mere hint of a breeze.
The terminus for the drive was Peter and Wanda's house in Duffy. A more pristine house you could not find; it was clear that the gardener's must have finished off just before we arrived. How they arranged for all the azaleas to be in bloom for the day was a mystery also.
We started with a champagne morning tea in front of the house as people began to arrive. After dispatching the refreshments, people were allocated to the various cars that were lined up in the street.
Roofs were taken off, passengers strapped in, and away they went in a procession down the street. Just like at Summernats except a lot more ladylike.
The cars hooned off to Tidbinbilla and back with a stop for refreshments.
Back at Duffy, obviously tired from hanging off the sides of the cars, they were met with more glasses of champagne and a delicious lunch provided by WiR members. We wined and dined all afternoon and finally went home as storm clouds approached - presumably the convertibles had to be garaged in case they got wet.
Pictures of the day are below.
