Default Which town has the hottest cars?

On my weekly truck driving route throughout Victoria I am amazed at the amount of nice cars around. Traralgon has a nice mix, Seymour also rates well. But stepping it up a few notches is Shepparton and Bendigo, I am constantly blown away at the abundance of hot cars in these towns. So, are there any towns IN Vic that should also rate a mention? And what about towns in the other states? Which town is our Hot Car Capital?

Cranbourne/Devon Meadows and the surrounding area has a great mix of vintage, hot rods and classic/muscle.

I would say South East Queensland but as the vehicles I refer to are owned by myself, friends and family - I could be a touch biased.

Temperature wise it is the hottest, it'd be over 80 degrees in a car on a day over 50 degrees.

WA well it used to be the cappacino strip in fremantle on a sunday arvo or saturday night.

Probably now its the coast run (trigg, cottesloe) on a sunny afternoon. :

I'm from Shepp and I agree that we have some very hot cars.

i was up in brisvegas last week and didnt see one hotted up car at all. Bathurst had plenty on the weekend but most of them are visitors.


while talking about cars at Bathurst

I saw half a million falcons with XHP Sabers half chrome and half polished. no offence to who ever has them but they are aweful wheels.


Cheers,

Probably say the Gold Coast.

Sure you see a hell of a lot of rice, but you see some nice machines. See more Astons, Jags and Rollers than anywhere else. Also plenty of nice old skool machines.

In Cranny though, how many 'belong' to the cars they are driving?
