Yep, I have pics of that, what a stunning car! I'll try to upload my photos tonight, haven't found time yet.

MRLX (Gary) - did you get the car home ok mate? Or did it cause you lots of grief? Totally impressed with how good that thing is looking, you've done a magic job on it. Wicked to see it cruising.

PS. Doogs - those funky panoramic pics are sweet mate :)

Thanks guys, will try and get some good ones in the sun next time. (Those were the work of my little bro)

Agree with Matt, that black Lc was very mint. Had a brief word to him and he bought it a year ago as is.

The black LC was in Extreme Holdens, man that paintjob was mint!!! Gorgeous vehicle, he just needs to get those red ring tyres redone because they've faded.

It's got a nicely detailed six with triples under the bonnet as well but he didn't open it before I headed home, don't know if he did later on?

Sure was, those panels were dead straight (and needed to be when it was such a glossy black).
I will bet many many hours were put into that car !

Thank you all for the pictures of the day, and to EVERYONE who helped organise, and those who attended, Thank you!

It never ceases to amaze me how the Victorian people love to get out there and enjoy their cars, and are so willing to go to things like this even in dubious weather!

All i can say is well done, you all deserve a round of applause!

Definitely check the alternator and regulator before anything else mate. Maybe pull it off the car and take it to an auto elec to test. Glad you got it home ok.

The guy with the black beauty did pop the bonnet very briefly, but didnt get a photo. He was asking me about filters for his triple SU's... he's tried socks but said it strangled it.... he can't find many other alternatives. Anyone else have ideas? He said he might bring the car back over for Knox cruise nights.

Tiny - us Vic's are a proud bunch mate! Rain, hail or shine we love our Torries! Cheers for the kind words, glad you enjoyed checking out all the pics. Pity you weren't in town again for the show! How long till your down next - don't forget our Captain America's Hamburger Heaven night!!

great photos guys
i started off driving down there and it was nice and sunny ,and i thought it will be a nice day.
half way there the rain started and lets just say it was a fair effort to get the car down there
as it was like being on ice skates
apart from the weather it was a good turn out and nice to see so many Torry's turn up
and nice to meet a few of you people :spoton:

Missed you by 5 mins yesterday Paul.
Just popped down for a cameo appearance with my dear ol' Dad. (He used to have a LC 4 door)
I got all inspired!


Fizzled out by the time I got home though.
