It was a great day. I took so many photos I ran out of space on my camera (over 300 shots). The quality and quantity of cars has trippled in the last few years. I was almost embarrassed to turn up in my car.....Next time I wont park in-btwn 2 freshly restored RS2000's :hihi:

Whooligan, these 300 photos you speak of, will you be posting them up or are you just teasing us?

My photobucket is full at the moment and I haven't had time to reduce them. If I send them full size they take a month to download.....Give me a few days.

Ok, I now have my pics up. In this thread I will stick to the old school small Fords

Mark 1 rally car


German Mk2 RS2000


Second German Mk2 RS2000. Both these cars were part of the batch of 25 brought in to homologate the car for Bathurst.


"HUSLN8", a Mk2 panelvan with a 5L V8 and lots of custom work (bit of an understatement there!)


Mk1 Estate stretch

Small Ford Sunday is unique to Melbourne. Basically the RSOCVIC invited all the other local small ford clubs to join them on the one day at the one venue. Now it is the biggest event in Australia. I started attending as a spectator over ten years ago, before it was SFS and it was being held at Eltham. It goes back even further as the Capri Concours before that.
I would suggest folks in other states to lobby your local clubs to get together to put on your own SFS. Many folks from interstate travel to attend this event, which is good for Melbourne people, but I wouldn't mind travelling to other states to see what else is on offer. So get down your local club and start getting things moving.
