Just a couple of pics from the show.

The place was packed which made taking pics difficult.

This was in the car park with a 16K price tag.

A few more photo's from the show.  It was dam hard to get good photo's as they had a huge crowd and the cars were packed in real tight....probably due to the poor weather forecast.

Col and Rob, what time were you there, i got there about 11:30 and left at about 3:30, i never thought to ask if you were going to be there or arrange a meet up.

 

This one makes 3 Col, it was outside with the boats and truck.

Sorry they are F^&*s.

This also used to be local.

I took a couple more but not as many as i would have liked, had the wife, ruggies and parents with me, also kept bummping in to people i haven't seen in a long time (except Col and Rob).

They could probably fit a few more cars in if the elite cars had smaller display setups. Some of them are ridiculous! They should be restricted in size. Ok i understand that the owners don't want people touching them but with some of the displays you would need 6 foot arms to lay a hand on one.

Col, I was there from around 10:30 to 3:30, sorry I should have dropped you you a txt but was there with a couple of mates. Time flew to be honest there were a shiet load of great cars to see. Did anyone get a photo of the push bike with the 8" rear wheel wheel? It was near the black Torana that Col got the photos of.

Darrin, I reckon the elite shed was fine, you could get close enough without fear of causing damage. I do think they could have used another one of the shed's as they tried to cram to many cars under the apron of the main shed and there simply wasn't enough room for all of the cars.

The Rod & Custom club would be real happy with Saturdays crowd, it was packed.....Contgrat's to the organisers....great show.

They crammed as many cars into sheds as they could because it was forecast for torrential rain.

 

The rain didn't come, but viewing some cars was near impossible.
