Upper Middle Petrol Head:

For those of you new to Tasmania's classic car scene, the annual Picnic at Ross is one of the state's premier car shows and holds a particular place in the hearts of petrol heads from all over the island, being, as it is, held pretty much equidistant from all our major population centres in one of our most historic and picturesque villages.  It's certainly one of the "big ones" on my calendar, along with Targa Tasmania, Club Motori Italia's Lufra hill climb and the Baskerville Historics.    This year's Picnic - held a little earlier than has been the norm - was conducted on a perfect Sunday in late April and attracted an impressive field of classic, sports and performance cars from all eras and many of the greatest manufacturers in the world.  There were Aussie, British, Italian, Japanese, German and American marques on display, and all of them were magnificent! The event venue - the town of Ross, approximately one and a half hours
