Broken valve make me miss hanging rock, but I should get the 26 to this event!

We will lock in Parkmore Shopping Centre as the meet point.

 

Time will be 8.45am, with a departure for the show at 9.15am

the 26 is running and half presentable :) see you all there!

I can't see anything where it says what time it finishes. Does anyone know?

*Does Google Maps search* 280kms, 3hr 24 mins.... Damn, that's gonna make for an early departure time! :( Why does so much have to be on this weekend? :)

Not long now!

I'm out sorry everyone :bash: have to go to an autocross with dad and play in the rally car :lolcry: what a fun day it will be :happy:

 

 

See ya

Any one got any thoughts on a meet point?I am thinking front carpark of Parkmore Shopping Centre, on Cheltenham Rd, Keysborough, 9am. McDonalds is across the road for those wanting a breakfast hit, and its easy enough to get to off the Eastlink, and about 5 mins to the venue.

 

I'll be there to meet in up in my '26.

Be great to see another one out in force.

Peter Robinson is bringing his too, so that will make three!

bringing the rona out

Well any day that is about Japanese cars is a good one! Today made me realise just how good our show was on grass so I hope we can do the same for Classic Japan 2012.

 

Thanks for all the Toyota people who came out and supported the show today. Were it not for us and the Datsun/Nissan people that would have been a very sad little show.

 

This MR2 won an award for best mid-engined car - and it was very nicely presented

 

 

I loved the interior - is it factory?

 

Andy's two new Toyota manfufactured rides looked tops together - car and bike!

 

I love wagons

 

I am with Parrot. This Corona is amazing! Bloke has owned it for 40 years, and lives 150m away from Mel's parents place!

 

Engine Bay

 

I loved all the bling on the Prince 6

 

RB26 in what we know as a 240K. Mmmmmmm!

 

 

A couple of realllllly nice 240Z's too...this is just one

 

Loved how clean this 180B was

 

Cool Datsun ute, spewing I didn't get my brother's Tiara sorted to give it some competition!

 

This Roadster had been finished off beautifully

 

Look like Mx5 seats to me

 

Paint job on this Galant was awesome! Shame it was the sole Mitsubishi representative

 

The sole Honda representative was also awesome!

 

And it is a shame this wasn't off the flatbed...

 

There were some cool rotaries there but they left before I got to photography them.

 

Shame not many other makes besides Toyota, Datsun/Nissan and the Mightyboys really supported this. Hopefully we can get them out of the wordwork later in the year.

Matt black Datto ute makes me pants happy :)

That Corona GT was stunning. Also curious about the TA22 GT with the injected 2TG. The compliance plate was in English rather than japanese. Was this an evaluation car?

 

Also discovered there is another original KE15 out there being restored by a keen husband & wife team. Did anyone get their contact details? I wandered off to be dazzled by the Prince's and lost them.

 

Loved the Prince Skyline being towed around by the Prince Gloria. It really was a great turnout by the Prince group.

 

Shame the hakosuka skyline didn't make it off the flatbed.

 

I think the Classic Japan show was far superior, but anything that draws these cars out is worth supporting.

Omg that looked so good :blinks: I'm so kicking myself i missed it :bash:

 

Oh well had some fun doing this :wink:

 

 

 

See ya
