As expected, the New Year's Eve Classic Cars and Coffee was a huge event. I chose to ride my 1954 DKW motorcycle so I could avoid the long queues of cars trying to get in. As I rode along Stirling Highway towards UWA there was a stream of classic cars driving on towards Fremantle - obviously having seen the queues and decided to give it a miss.
