Wow, its a long time since I attended that show and it sure has grown.
And when did you last see a Nissan Silvia? Rare car when new and impossible to find these days. 554 made. Most stayed in Japan, 49 came to Australia and only 10 went to other countries.

Did you read the story about the EH panel van? It was a special order "Library Van". Owned by a mate of mine. Interesting car.

Better get there next year. I spent Sunday working on my Grand Prix. Group of us are going to Adelaide next weekend for All American Day. Making a 5 night, 6 day trip of it. Old Dadswell Town, Robe SA, Adelaide, Swan Reach on the Murray, Lake Boga. Taking a look at the Flying Boat Museum then home on Sunday night. I'll take some pictures.

Awesome pics and cars, thanks for sharing. Gotta love the Olds, Zephyr and Mark II. Looks like a fairly large show as well.

Cool pics! I love those Australian muscle cars!

I've made it my mission in life to own a Falcon XB or a Torana AX9.

A guy from work owns that and apparently it is a standard factory option.
