Hanging Rock Victoria Oz
« on: February 20, 2011, 10:41:24 PM »
On Sunday Feb 13th Kaz and i went to the Hanging Rock car show which is 80km's north west of Melbourne or for us a little over an hour and forty minutes of driving  from our place
The Hanging Rock car show has now turned into the biggest show here in Victoria with a reported 3000 classic cars and a similar amount of daily drivers turning up to have a look
Kaz and i took the boat and headed off early (like many others) and got to see the odd rolling car show as we headed to the venue 8) 8)

Cruising past some aussie muscle in the fast lane in our lounge chair ;D


trying to beat the traffic jam at the entrance


couple shots of Fred's favorites ;)




Brett asked me, when we were in the US last year why he was sending so many decal kits to Australia..you can see why from the pics below ::)




A photo to get up every ones nose..78 Firebird Esprit >:(


Nice 6 pack


On the main oval looking back at Hanging Rock


grrrr


Change the nose , add a blower and you get Mad Max (correct name)..aka Road Warrior


Almost forgot Karens car ;D


You can find the rest of the pics here 8)

save the brown ta for last, i guess i can deal with that.  so how did you decide on which car of yours to take, do you rotate, or is it based on distance which one you travel in.  great pics and looks to be a awesome show.

If the car show is close we will take both,if its a bit of a trip (like Hanging Rock) we only take one..Chev this show,the TA at the next show or it depends on what the car show/cruise is eg pre 75 or chrome bumper shows you know which one we will be taking

nice to have a choice...if you find a new ta will you keep the 78se, probably a dumb question?

I was wondering the same thing about the ribbons. Cool cars and cool show. I can't wait until my car will be ready for a show. Thanks for the pics.

Judging by the pictures, I am guessing those pictures are probably from his or a wedding? And those cars were probably used for the wedding?

  Thats what I was thinking but this isn't the first time I have seen this and not in a wedding. Just curious. Beautiful engine by the way. I can't see a single wire.
