Wheels Of Fortune

The smart changing of four wheels spelt out a fortune of millions — of bubbles (in the cases of sparkling wine) — for the Ormonds Motors Truck Department team at the Sandown Hotel. Good fun was had by patrons as they egged the various teams on. This was the second and final night in which the teams competed against each other, time-wise, to win the coveted bubbly.
