Compact Register Run to Strathalbyn & Langhorne Creek After a brisk start to the day at Crafers, we travelled along the freeway, some quicker than others, to our first stop at Gilbert Motor Museum in Strathalbyn. Everyone had the choice of Museum, Coffee shops and/ or Antique stores. Gilbert’s have a wide range of cars, motorcycles and memorabilia that is run by volunteers. They were so happy to see us and talk about the history of the Museum and its collection. It is well worth the visit. Our next stop was Collectable Classics where we were greeted by Graham who was happy to show us around and talk about the cars that were for sale. We wondered around amongst the cars and bikes dreaming about what we could add to our collections.
There were spectacular cars & bikes on display including two Jaguars by Rob and Vicki Loffler.
Once reality hit and we had the obligatory photo shot, it was back in the cars for our final destination and some lunch. Bremerton Winery at Langhorne Creek was our watering hole and what a fantastic spot it is. Pizza’s, cheese platter washed down with a glass of wine. Dessert and coffee for those that could fit it in. Sixteen Jaguars in various models, some with pace but all with grace carried us through the country side for what was an enjoyable day out. David and Angela Rogers

Collectible Classics had some lovely cars on sale including a lovely 2.5 Mark IV, for what most considered was very reasonably priced.
