A big thanks too all the photographers, videographers and anyone else that took the time to take pics and post for those of us that couldn't be there.

 

Looking at most of the cars makes me wonder if Tracie's will be good enough, there were some pretty nice clean rides there.

 

Bit of de ja vu Col, glad ya's came home in one piece, driver was probably rubber necking at all the hot torries and not paying attention to where he/she was driving.

frOck that would have been an ass clenching moment after what happened to the last one!!!!

 

Yeah and so soon after getting Purple sorted.

 

Fark me.

 

Some idiot nearly cleaned up my Torrie today and then tried to take out my missus who was behind me.

 

Pretty sure he wouldn't have survived it.

I wasn't in Purple Craig. I was in a m8's L34.

Oh, sorry mate, I read somewhere else (maybe fact of fiction thread?) that purple was finished and thought I must have missed something.

 

Even so, not something you want to be a part of twice.

G'day All

 

Thanks muchly to Pete Morris and his band of VERY hard workers to make Toranafest 2015 a GREAT success 

 

Despite the rather damp weather, it did not put a damper on the weekend and I did not hear of anyone complaining about it

 

I think Maitland Showground was a success for Toranafest and the cruise of 156 Toranas on Saturday was a head spinner for those along the route

The scenery was very pleasant and the road was in good condition

 

Thanks also to Graham (LX5008), a HVTC member who went out of his way to bring a radiator pressure tester to the Fest motel and helped out 3 Festites with radiator/hose/cap problems

 

It will be a long wait till Toranafest 2017 and hopefully my body will still be OK for another fantastic weekend

 

I will be posting "Pop's Weird View of Toranafest" soon and it should be taken as it is meant to be, for a laugh

[Potta]

[Pop's-SS]

        Made some new    AND all HVTC members deserve     So   Toranafest , bring on Toranafest 2017  for more

Barry's display is a highlight for my wife and I. We especially liked the hand made montage table. Good work mate.

 

I actually did not have time to look at how quickly you packed up if at all when the rain came because I was busy diving into my own leaky shelter.

(note to self. beach shelter keeps the sun out but not so well the rain)

 

I was parked between 2 big Torana's with fella's from the central coast on one side and FNQ on the other.

I really felt like a youngster at 29 years a Torana owner knowing each of them have had there cars well into 30 years.

 

It just amazes me that people have hung onto these things that long.

 

Congratulations to the HVTC members and all involved for running a great event.

The cruise was great on Saturday too. Great drive and great little spot.

Took the HB down to the fest for a little drive with the QTCC, had an awesome time, and was great to catch up with other torana nutters that you only see at the Fest.

 

 

 

Was bloody cold in Bathurst, this is ice on the roof of the HB.

 

On the Mountain with Dirtbags brothers old hatch (Now Andrews).

 

On pit straight with APL's Brabham, very very nice Brabham.

 

 

Gentleman Jim & I at the cruise.

 

Best in show HB, 1st.

 

 

Thanks to Tinkers, Grant & Dirtbag for the photos.

 

Cheers, It's Paul.

G'day All

I've burst the virgin Toranafest bubble by going on Sunday to the Fest & WOW what a great turnout, On arival i donated 8 large cans of dog food to the Newcastle dog rescue then i had to get my Toranafest t-shirt & hat & a quick g'day to JR.

The digital camera was pulled out and pics were taken of all the hatchbacks ( research ) and once i got to Tony"s hatch -  ( TSN 007 )  i gave him a call so i could meet him in person & what a nice fella he introduced me to a few of the guys from the forum - Rob, Matt, Keith and it was nice to meet you all & have a chat.

Seeing i was on a mission I managed to take pics & view of all the 65 + hatchbacks before the heavens opened up then a quick feed and back home to look after the wife with the flu that i gave her ( sharing is caring ).

Well done to HVTC & all the people involved in setting up Toranafest - great job

 

A few pics of unflared hatchbacks
