We were in Melbourne for Derby day, it is the busiest day or the year in the limousine and chauffeur driven vehicle business.

we were guest of Lexus of Blackburn and managed to see home a couple of winners early. Our luck deserted us for a few races but we managed to come screaming back and ended up even for the day. There were a few other people down from Sydney and all had a great time.

With Cameron, Lisa and Georgie from Nine’s TODAY show.

Ecolimo sponsored an auction item at the Ruyton Ball the other week. The auctioneer and MC was Darren James from Radio station 3AW in Melbourne. He did a fantastic job and our item raised over two thousand dollars. We had a chat about the move to Sydney and his former colleague and boss Steve Price now ar 2UE who has also made the trip up the highway.

Next time we were in Melbourne was for Derby Day and who did we see….Darren James..again this time he was even more relaxed as there no Buy Swap and Sell to be out of bed for.

Australia’s top scientists donned their formal rags for the the science community’s version of the Oscars, the Eureka Prizes. Ecolimo was on hand to ferry some of the guests. It was sold out weeks ago and the event has grown since 1990 when it was held in a dining room at the museum.
We were a driver down as Grant had a child with pneumonia and it was up to me to do one of the trips. Well so much for satellite navigation as I tried to find the best way via double bay to the AJC at Royal Randwick Racecourse where the event was held. How I wished that I had Wally on the blower, see previous post “its who you know” as I managed a version of Mr Magoo. Most of the time it’s OK but those Eastern Suburbs can be tricky for the veteran drivers let alone an imposter from the south.
