Seeing familiar cars is great, but seeing new cars is brilliant. An excellent day and I'm keen to add a regular trip north into my far-from-full social calendar.
Do you reckon more Gold Coasters would come if they had more sleep-in time? Beauty sleep???
Actually, even more people attending might be a logistical problem for the cafe because we already took the majority of tables...

Rat Rod Cobra........ Lets call it well used.
Although I haven't seen one photo of that awesome looking blue Cobra (that everyone has copied the colour of....) that had that spectacular soft top on?
I even did my bit and chauffeured around our resident amputee....

Seriously now.... Great job Matt, excellent event, i'll definitely be back!

Just had my little interview with the Sunshine Coast Daily. Usual stuff like....
- How much HP does you car have?
- Where do you have breakfast runs too?
- Do many members get involved in racing as well as shows?
- So these cars really attract attention?? Why??

He then asked me for some of the brands of cars at the breaky apart from my Datto and I said DRB, Harrison, AP etc. He also asked me who's making nice cars now and I said certainly hard to look past ABSOLUTE PACE. (That black car is GELOCAT WHAAAAAT!)
So Wazza, there's your free plug! Again.
If you need my address for payment of random acts of kindness plug please send to my lovely wife. As I'll never see it either way!

It'll run in this weekends Saturday paper and you will most likely find it here.

I notice the very popular, more genuine and more socially accepted blue cars do tend to look a little darker when they get the casting shadows of the undercoat coloured cars parked nearby. Wazza's car was parked behind mine and my car looked and I felt a little "dirty"!

Perhaps next time we can segregate the blue cars off and then just have .....well....the others....
