A sea of classic vehicles is sure to turn heads as they cruise through Geelong and the Bellarine this Sunday.
Geelong Motoring Enthusiasts Incorporated will host its monthly Caffeine and Gasoline event on National Motoring Heritage Day on May 18 from 8am.
The event will feature classic cars cruising along roads from North Geelong through the heart of Geelong’s city centre before heading along Portarlington Road and finishing up in Queenscliff.
Committee member Chris Quirke said many cars aged 25 years or older would be involved in the cruise and that they were “always a head turner”.
“I’ve got an early 90s Mercedes-Benz C Class that my partner and I have been restoring for over a couple of years. That’s all done and we’re taking that along,” he said.
“Any excuse to get the car out, of course, while enjoying a Sunday drive. We get to hang out with some friends, talk about car stuff, have a bite to eat and enjoy the day.
“There’ll be between 70 to 100 vehicles (participating) and this is the second year that our club has ran an event on behalf of the of the day and we’ve really enjoyed it. It’s just a good day to get out.”
National Motoring Heritage Day was a significant event for motoring enthusiasts as it was time to showcase a passion for older vehicles to the broader community.
