Default old trip

Many years ago the VMVC went on a club trip to the Monageeta test track. They let us drive our vehicles around some sections of the test tracks.... reliving what happened during WW2 . Probably wouldn't be possible today with the higher security being enforced everywhere. Interesting history that place has .. I believe even one of our MLU members when in the army , drove vehicles there .. trying to break them

I don't think it would be that out of the question because I think the facility can still be hired by other users.

Their photo collection would certainly be interesting to see.
