Well guys, this was my day today, took both my cars to this very casual show, no judges, no categories, just bring what you drive. Everything from Stitch-ville, the big expanse of the USA, and lots of Aussie ingenuity , and a few wierd ones thrown in too, over 1000 cars rolled in on a very chilly sunday. HAVE A GOOD LOOK IN THE BACK GROUND TOO GUYS, COULD ONLY POST UP A LIMITED # OF PICS. Some of the more interesting british stuff for ol' Stitch. (there was about 20 Cortina's too. One very sweet rod. There were lots. but this was one of the nicest, and you have seen them all on your side of the ditch.

Purely guessing but that anglia van has been modded. Those rear wheels are a good clue to it having something a bit interesting in the front

Thanks Dale for telling us the make and model of most of the cars. I thought I was a Motorhead, but believe me, I don't think I could have named half of the vehicles that you showed. That's a real eye-opener. Thanks again.

Thanks for showing these Dale. I'm glad you posted the engine in the Monaro. I would like to build one like that. I think your cars are as cool as any of them. I really like your Ute.

You are all very welcome guys, glad to show you some of our great cars, and thanks too Tom, Dennis, i get a lot of comments on them, because they are both different to the run of the mill Valiants. OH, and the weather doesn't stay cold for too long here mate, winter ONLY lasts for about 8 months....
