now THESE are cars! (dial up warning)

a few mainstays...
the pontiac may look like the rear end is busted and they trailered it there but i managed to see it when they drove it home. it definitely doesnt have the original six in it! sounded very sweet. and obviously on airbags (again illegal here, but people run the risk for the shows. occasionally you could heard a police siren go off outside the grounds as people with questionable looking cars left to go home)

cant have an aussie show without a few holdens (",)
the first is basically holdens first car, the fj done up in a period racing scheme. the second i think is an fc chopped up to somewhat resemble a mercury. but about 4/5 the size. easier to park than a merc! the third is another fc with a classic roof chop. whats cool about this car is that the dude used to drive it to work every day. we'd pass each other and give each other a nod (i drive a type 3 vw. not a hotrod obviously but something out of the norm which is sorta what the rods are about). i chatted to the guy and i mentioned this and he remembered the car. i also used to give this little car in flat black with flames the nod too. turned out to be the same guy! took three windscreens to try and cut to size for this wagon and in the end they used lexan. and it looks spot on. lexan can scratch though so he normally doesnt have any wipers. again illegal here. lucky theres a drought on!

a few miscellaneous shots...

i think that will do for now ;) the dodge pick up by the way was driven to the show! about 50km. the fuel tank pressure pump (or whatever it was. no fuel pumps on these pups!) packed it in so the guy had a 4 litre plastic bottle of fuel hanging from the windscreen support! took two and half bottles to get there he told me (",)

oh, one more good thing came out of it. this girl i rather fancy who lives down the street from me was there so i went over and said hello. she introduced herself (so now i at least know her name). i mentioned a band i had just watched called Voodoo Kreepers and that i had just bought their CD. she saw the bass player nearby and said i should get them to sign it. of course i was too shy so she got the whole band to sign it for me (",). im thinking i should have got her phone number...
