OH yeah loved that coupe!!!
But Narelles favourite was the "GUZI" John Goss special, she loves it more everytime she sees it!!

and of course our car looked pretty damn good too
we were happy to show off the begginnings of our new look engine bay and we wont be there tommorrow, but the car will still be there.

The GTECH and CLIMAX (twins) girls looked good too. NOt many promo girls round at this show


THanks to Jason (VILKASBAMKIIXR6T) and Kev (KEV XR8 UTE) and Wayne (MADNC8) for coming up and saying hi!!!

John i tend to disagree,what poeple are doing with these late model stuff is awesome.They look the goods and the power that they are now getting out of them is awesome.There was a few older type cars there but most i seen are a little more interested in the newer type vechiles.

I agree the show was dissapointing,it wasn't as big as the previous Holden / Ford car show.
This years show was supposed to incorporate a lot of other type of cars Ricers etc, all it did was reduce the number of Fords and Holden and there was hardly any Japenese cars there anyway.I think that they will have to revert back to the previous shows and make it only Holdens and Fords.
Cheers John

The highlight of the show for me was the $6 chicken burgers that must of been there for 2 days.lol

I love Craig Gerdes 572ci HK Kingswood drag car 7.5 @180mph. What a tough piece of gear. I have known Craig and his brother Dwayne for years, they have owned some awesome stuff.

Well I wouldn't mind having that car, cos he did a few runs on the dyno and won a 3 week trip to the U.S.

What a great show. I was expecting it to be over run with 4cyl buzz boxes but I was pleasantly surprised. My car was there at the CAPA stand and thanks to some absolute wizardry on the part of Chris from Blue Power, it took out the N/A Championship for Boss Motors in the dyno comp. Great work buddy.
