Great day with the same hard workers as normal - well done. Pearly - your photos are always fabulous. What a lovely photo of Melz and Kev - "ain't love grand!" It was really good to get the GT out again and those new cams just give it something extra. I was even allowed to drive it all the way there! Cheers Gaela

Big thanks to all those who organised today (VIC). Kim / Mark and Santa - many thanks for feeding my 3 yr old son (Fraser) all the lollies/sugary drinks...he is still bouncing off the walls.
Santa - you had Fraser talking about you all the way home in the car - you did a great job. Great to meet everyone too, some nice cars and good conversation. Thanks.

Was a brilliant day, great to catch up with people, great to see so many cars out (including those Thunderbirds, beautiful machines!!!) I was one of the last few cars in the main "group" along the Espy at Semaphore, seeing nothing but Fords lined up in front of me at the traffic light bottleneck was great... almost spewing I didn't jump out while the car was stopped waiting at the lights to just grab a couple of shots. There were a few of the nice sounding 8's a few cars in front getting some looks of envy from the pedestrians, few smiles were raised as you rumbled past!

A big thanks to Spoolman, Melz, Kev, Whoosha, Santa and everyone who turned up on the day to support this worthwhile event.
Thanks also to the sponsors and other supporters who gave so generously in order to help those in need. The weather managed to imitate the fabled Victorian four seasons in one day but despite the conditions the standard of presentation in the show'n'shine made the judging difficult with some very well presented cars on show. Cheers Russ PS: Thanks also to the EBay watchers for staying away.

Thanks to Spoolman, Melz, Whoosha and everyone else that helped organise today. Weather was great in the end. Was great to see the fantastic support for this event. There will be some very happy kids this Xmas Car almost made it home without hiccups....Too bad one of the raffle prizes wasnt a new head gasket! :( Guess what Jack's getting for Xmas...
