FOUND! Pics from the first ever OzSTOC RTE...

[Diesel]

Thought these were gone forever...


From the old Yahoo email list, I'd assembled enough keen punters to do a ride with me from BP Caboolture Northbound Service Centre via a fun run though the Mary Valley with Brekky at Nana's Cafe in Kenilworth to lunch at Rainbow Beach SLSC. This was on 16th May, 2010.

Stopped at Mary Cairncross for a looksee and pre-ordered brekky for Kenilworth so it would be ready for us when we arrived.








Met up with Jinxy and Mark from the Bundy Crew at Gympie, and headed out as a group to Rainbow Beach.

A great day was had by all, and we agreed that there should be many more - and there have been.       


Thanks for reading.


Cheers, Diesel

Yep this was time before me...awesome photos!

Yep- missed that one, too.  Most of those marginal types are still in OzSTOC.  I guess "when you're on a good thing, stick to it"!
Who can remember the advert and illustration that used to use that slogan?

(while we're on memory lane in the petrol thread)

Good on ya Diesel, well done for resurrecting them!

We go back even a little bit further mate, hey, but no pics to show for it!..............ST-Owners.com!!   You, me, Roper, probably quite a few others as well that I don't know of.
I still very occasionally have a look at their web site as it's sooooooo full of helful hints and information, and so many cheap STs for sale. Makes you wonder why ours are so much more expensive!!

Nice one mate....I'm proud to have been a starter on that ride and glad to have met such a fine bunch of villians too......and my heart swells with pride on seeing that fine beaSTie ...my grey ghoST Cheer Brian (aka ORSM)

This was taken in Maleny on the way to Bunya, one of the original OzSTOC rides organised by Barry. I rode up from Canberra and Ross and Julie rode from Newcastle.
 


On the way back we stopped near Esk.



I believe it was in 2007.

[Diesel]

CLASSIC!  Great stuff thanks mate.

So was 2007 the start of OzSTOC or w there a little earlier history?
