Met up with forum member WillH (WAS 310 ) and ISF mate Paul, at the downshift meet this arvo in Rocklea.
What I always thought was a "rice only" event turns out to have plenty of local gear, a few Euros and Yank and some collectables. Apparantly there were over 1000 cars there last month and it must have gone close again...just mental... Cops had a field day on exit with a defect stop 100m up the road ... Lots of interesting cars but also a lot of junkers. Just wander for hours checking out each others cars then head home... $5 well spent. Took a few pics of some Fords there, any members ? Pics OK , had to warm up the shutter first before leaving home  forgive the self indulgence   Then onto the car fest... Any one on here ?

Seems they are ramping things up in Qld, so expect they will be there after the car show, meets & maybe even cruises etc..
