One of the great things about being on the road are the sights you see and the people you meet along the way.

At our recent camp at Lake Cargelligo these four arrived late afternoon. We certainly could hear them before we would see them.

The Hot Rods are on their way to the Valla Rod Run in northern NSW from Adelaide. There was a Pontiac, 2 Fords – one a modified and the other a 35 Flat Back, and a Dodge Brothers coupe. All had modified high performance V8s (no original motors in this lot) and they sounded good.

The caravan was a real treat, an original that has been restored with a few mod cons.

We chatted with them for quite a while. They have a lot of fun on these runs. They love their cars and also enjoy people coming to talk to them and asking all about what they are up to. I bet they get up to some real mischief at times. They pulled out on a lovely morning to continue their trip north.
