Old Cars: Veteran, Vintage, Pre-War and Classic, are what we use and abuse in the pursuit of Feral Sports, at The Feral Sports Car Club, as long as they are at least 50 years old.
Specifically, we like original unrestored, or "reclaimed" cars, that is, cars repaired only to the point of making them road legal. Vintage Utes with tattered canvas, Vintage tourers with rust showing through remnant paintwork, Veteran "Specials"with interesting transmissions, Classic sports cars bearing the scars of at least 50 years of neglect, old battered caravans; these are all grist to the Feral Sports Car Club mill. And we expect their owners to match the cars, though not necessarily in age.
And Feral Sports? Hard to define, but it does seem to involve a lot of driving on dirt roads to reach out of the way pubs, appreciating the fast disappearing ambience of these places, drinking real beer and wine around the campfires in some of the most isolated and beautiful places in Australia. And, most of all, it involves not taking yourself, the cars, or those around you too bloody seriously.
We are located about 100 or so klicks north of Melbourne, Victoria, Australia (the sphincter at the arse-end of the world), in the Goldfields area, where Men are Men, and both sheep, and goats are nervous.
Updates are produced when the WebMangler has the spare time. They are also dependant on what has happened. If nothing has happened, there's nothing to write about, and therefore the times between updates is longer. If you want to be notified when an update has been posted, just contact yoricktheprez@hotmail.com and we'll put you on the mailing list. Any comments, positive, negative, or even totally off the planet, are welcomed as well.
