Trial for a SL run on Sunday
« on: January 13, 2023, 09:35:18 »
Took my Pagoda out for a trial run for Sunday week SL run from Melbourne to Woodend in Australia, to a local members home for bbq. Weather predicted is for sunny and temps in the 30’s

Looks great Garry! The hot weather we are experiencing here in Australia will be a good test for the cooling system. Best of luck, safe travels and I look forward to some photos of the run.

The MB Club Victoria SL day went off without a hitch and with great weather, they had big turnout of SL’s with 6 Pagodas in the 40+ SL’s that attended. It was held at a Members home in Woodend, a small country town outside Melbourne Australia.
