          Unfortunately,
          the Apexi presentation that was arranged for us at the meeting did not
          come to fruition, despite Barry's gallant efforts to contact the
          parties involved.  None the less, the meeting went ahead as
          planned!
         
        
           
         
        
          With
          around 17 cars present at the Croydon Hotel, and with the sun beaming
          down on us, we set out on the car trial devised by the Cruise Captain
          Steve Howlett and his Wife - armed with nothing more than our wits,
          and a list of questions and instructions!

          The
          trial took us out through the eastern suburbs of Melbourne, and over
          the great dividing range to the small country tourist Mecca of
          Marysville.  As well as trying to find the answers to the
          questions at hand along the way, we had to contend with some kind of
          bicycle ride who seemed to have chosen our exact route over the
          mountains!

          Lunch
          was had at Keppel's Hotel, which is the main pub in Marysville. Afterwards,
          we continued in a loop fashion over the Mountains to Cumberland
          Junction where we took a moment for a photo with all the cars
          together.   
 We then continued along the very steep and windy
          road towards Reefton and then through Warburton and back to our
          starting point.

          All
          in all, an excellent day made even better by the fantastic
          weather!
