The thirteenth anniversary of our most popular event – Goin’ Country, was another enjoyable afternoon of cool cars, great people, fun activities, and tasty food!

Rod Squad was well represented at Cooly Rocks Festival. It’s always a big week with huge crowds and lots of live Rock & Roll bands playing, and of course hot rods and classic cars. Once again, a good time to catch up with old friends and opportunity to be salt and light among our hotrodding friends in that festive atmosphere.

“21 In The Sun” was the slogan for the 21st ASRF Street Rod Nationals held at Parklands on the Gold Coast. It was great to have the Nationals back in Queensland.

Christmas time is a time of celebration, and the Rod Squad is no different. This year, a raft of Christmas based activities was planned, which ensured something for everyone was on the agenda.

Rod Squad was privileged to take a special Fathers Day evening programme at a church at Carrara, with the cars on display.

A small contingent of Rod Squad supported a men’s event at CYC Burleigh Heads where Andrew Fisher (from Jesus racing – V8 ute) was a guest speaker.

Our Goin’ Country run this year was another lovely day. We met at Ipswich for registration and goodies pickup and a stroll around the park, then off for a pleasant cruise to Harrisville.

Rod Squad supports Fishers of Men Discipleship House Programme.

On 26th January, we gathered at the Truck Lay by at Amberley at 10:30am. From there we enjoyed a comfortable cruise to Laidley, and checked out the recently opened 60’s cafe where we had lunch.

Our Christmas Lights cruise was a great time for food and fellowship. We braved the early afternoon storm, and gathered at the Ipswich gangs homes for a meal of pizza while waiting for the sun to go down and lights to come on.
