The Hupp rally held each second year in Australia is now over. This one was the seventeenth and was held in October in Ballarat, rural Victoria. Attending were 2x mod 20, 1x mod 32, 2 x mod R, 13 x mod A, 1 x 1926 mod E, 2 x 1929 mod M 2 x 1929 mod ? cabriolet. 2x 1930 mod S, 4 x 1934/5 mod K and one 1938 mod E. Another 19 26 mod A coupe caught fire and burned the front ,melting the dash when the vac tank surcharged spraying the area with gasoline which ignited. It had come over from Tasmania and was driving to the event. Perhaps the gas tank vent blocked and caused the expansion. The vehicle is insured and the occupants were not harmed. Eight Hupp families attended as Swaggies without thier cars. Our regular New Zealanders and Americans were again in attendance. Next Hupp National will be in Singleton NSW in 2016 and the organisers are the Burke family
