HCVC ANNUAL INSPECTION DAY

By Kevin Toovey

The HCVC Annual Inspection Day was held at Kevin's Water Cartage in Kewdale this year, and was well attended. People got talking and socialising straight away.

There was so much talking that the tap was left on in the sink and the kitchen got flooded and this is even before the nine o'clock start.

Not too much damage and it was mopped up pretty quickly. There were groups of people both inside and outside and more kept on arriving the whole time. This is a good social event and members are genuinely taking advantage of having another couple of people casting their eye over their vehicle and looking for those niggling issues before they become major problems and before somebody with more authority finds them. HCVC thanks our sponsor Kevin's Water Cartage for hosting the event.

We had members with and without vehicles attending and enjoying the day. This year we also had a few new vehicles that we had not seen before which makes it a bit more interesting.

Eddy has sold his big ute and replaced it with a smaller Chev ute. It has the number plate Truckin 2 and was the first vehicle to go over the pit.

Another truck we haven't seen before was Eli Cazzoll’s green Fargo. Phil Bailey brought his 1980’s cabover Kenworth along for the inspection, unrestored but drives really well. Peter Johnston usually brings his smaller truck to events but had his bigger red Chev along for the day. Giulio hasn't been well over the last few months but is well on the way to recovery, he arrived a bit later after attending an early morning Ford breakfast. Giulio was then seen down in the pit helping out Rod and Nelson.

It was also good to see Swifty and his Kenworth back out on the road.
