Ladies and Gents,
Missed a few of you and saw a few at the show, caught up with Hysteria, Nomad, Blacky and Tumbles, and a few others from here and there. Nice show, plenty to see for a few hours, and the stuff out the front was like a show to itself.
V8EK4US (Gary) was down from the NT and hitched a ride to the show in the Cad, because the weather was bloody beautiful for a sunny day spin. Add the old man and mini OLSKULE, we trotted of as SIXTY (the Cadillac) for the day. OLSKULE had rest in the shed.
Didn't see any FBEK's (that ute must have rocked up late), but I thought while the number of cars inside were a bit less, the quality of the new cars being built was very high.
Good to catch up with those that I saw, and I believe Gary had a tops day (cheers for the book Gaz).
I've added a couple of "Caddy shots" seeing as though that's the sort of day it was, and my fav custom rod from the show.
Keep adding to the crooze link, and we'll screw something down in the next few weeks.

Rossi aka OLSKULE

Rossi, was meaning to give ya a ring mate, but lost track of time and had to bolt.

Would have been nice to meet you and Gary.

That line up of Caddys was pretty sweet ay

Not alot of FB/EK's but there definately wasnt a shortage of fins

Brodie.

Ditto, it was a very enjoyable day, liked Rossi's Caddy too

Pretty sure that grey EK ute was owned by Simon Davidson. He's a photographer for Street Machine.

He sold it and bought a really nice car, an XM Falcon coupe.

I would much rather have an EK ute than a Foulcan coope Brootool.
