For the last couple of years, our November night drive has taken us to Bilpin for a late night drive up Bells Line of Road for apple pie. This is a drive best done in warmer weather, so November works well before people get busy for the Christmas break. Our destination is Royal Gardenia, which is in Bilpin not far from the Blue Mountains...

We were down to 9 cars, as one of our drivers had some unexpected work commitments that came up, so had to leave his car in Melbourne. We stayed in the pub in Bombala. I generally only book places...

But while they might not be particularly fast, they are a lot of fun to drive on a winding country road. Today I met up with some of the members of the Topklasse forum for a drive to Oberon. I...
It had been a while since the E-Type had been on a good long drive, so a friend of mine came over to the warehouse and we took the E-Type out for the drive below. View Larger Map I’ve done most of this route before – Galston Rd is always a good one, as is Bells Line of Road. I was also impressed...
