Being next to bunnings, annoying people will think its great to park right in the middle of us. So we all can get there at 9am, we will be able to cordon off our own area and keep us all together.

If people can't make it at 9am, then you might find it hard to get yourself a spot. We will do our best to leave spots, but can't guarantee anything. If you know you won't get there by 9, maybe get a mate to "save you a spot" by double parking or something...

Yeah for those who can't make it by 9:00 - 9:30, we will do our best to block off as much area as possible and stop the general public from getting in. We'll probably actually take some bollards and ropes and lock the entire area off if possible, with a few conveniently placed Torana's to help us mark our territory out. The more cars there at the start, the better.

brett_32i - still cruise down at 11:30, we will get you in!

Dick - behave at the wedding, it will be great to catchup with you :)

Tizzle - spewing mate, missed by 1 week, that sucks :(

And as Matt said, now is the time to start wording up all your mates!

Anyone got an old cars guide to quickly see what the email is?

Good stuff! It was good to get the Torry's to the eastside meeting last night, and also have a good chat about the carshow!

Word is spreading well, and it looks like there should be really tough and unique Torry's coming along! Fingers crossed Brocky is looking out for us up there, and tell's the big man to give us some nice weather! 25 Degrees and Sunny thanks!

I have emailed carsguide, so hopefully that gets published and we can get a few extra numbers on the day!

Who would be interested in a mini cruise after the carshow (Like 2pm-ish), it would be a sick as site seeing 30odd tough torry's rumble out from the carpark!!!

Guys, if you can please get down there at 8.30am that is the only way to block the car spaces off. Bunnings and the new boat shop next door get there early and start taking up random spots we need to be there to block off all outside autobarn, takes about 5 to 10 cars to block the entrances off, so please make it down at 8.30am not 9am when the shop is open.

still working on boss to get you guys a discount on the day, see what happens. and as its a laid back car show there isnt any trophys etc, but maybe on the day if we get a big turn out he might give something away, but im a bit wishful thinking, hehe.

matty if you want to make up a flyer, as work has not done one, i can post that up and even send to work to put in window to advertise, just simple logo and details.

also does torana forum have any business cards or flyers we can have hanging around on the day to hand out at the desk? if you want to make up a flyer we can afvertise the forum web address etc, we can put on counter.

thats all from me guys, we will just whinge it on the day and set up cars how we want. but again, cant stress how important it is to get cars down before the shop opens, it amazes me who parks outside our shop that arent even our customers.

Heya Deb!

Unfortunately we've never printed any cards or flyers as such, just the stickers!!

If anyone wanted to print out a heap of the logo (cause i spose that is the web address!) then i think that would be great!
Thanks for the thought, this day will be awesome!

Yeah good stuff Tiny. I'm not volunteering - but if anyone else is keen to print off some logos, go for it!!

Ok - on another note: What do you guys think of opening this show up now a little bit now, to non Torana's too?? (Not just anything, but mates with nice cars). Obviously it's still going to be heavily Torana based, but it wouldn't hurt to get along some more cool cars (especially muscle cars) to give people more to look at. Matt, Deb and I had hoped the list would be 3 time this size. If we can still get 10 - 20 Torana's, that's cool, but if we get another bunch of other cool stuff, it can only help in my opinion.

So if you guys agree - word up your mates!

I'll be there early! REMEMBER! DAYLIGHT SAVINGS STARTS ON SUNDAY!. So we lose and hour! (Clocks go forward an hour)

Deb, I'll just make a super simple Flyer tonight, with just the basic details.

I got the Show in the carsguide this week! So I reckon that will get more people coming. I have already had people tell me about this "Torana show at Autobarn". LOL

Does anyone want to print off the logo? I can send them the hi res version if they want?

Brett, I reckon we can get some others to bring other muscle cars down... We'll just try and get them to park in a group, so we can at least get all the Torry's lined up next to each other.

Now, the WEATHER! Lets pray we get sweet weather and not what we got this weekend!

Yeah - the weather will either make it or break it! But that's out of our control, so we'll just wait and see what happens.

We'll be there early too guys - it's gonna suck losing an hour and getting up effectively even earlier, but by the afternoon it will be awesome!

Bummer Rob...... If you have time when you are down here, give me a call and we can catch up for a beer anyway.


I was also wondering if any of the MAYBE's can confirm whether they can make it? If so, we could still get that 20 cars down there.
