Graeme Block quickly managed to find us a couple of apartments at Broadbeach for the night and then we would re-assess again in the morning.
Off we went, in the rain, stopping at ‘Expresso Twenty5’ at Coomera for lunch. This is the site of the Tony Longhurst Museum and would be the only place over the course of the weekend that we would be able to mingle amongst classic cars!

We had two lovely apartments with ocean views (when you could see it through the rain). Pre-dinner drinks in the room and off to dinner at a Bavarian Restaurant after which we weighed a couple of kilos heavier.
Over breakfast we discussed our next ‘plan’. By now, Warwick was out of the question, the race meet had been cancelled, all roads in were flooded and the town was
