Our collective is growing...who is going this year?

Yes, I'm planning to come over from South Oz and do it again with my burgandy JB like last year. Will we meet at Hitchy's again & convoy in as that was a great feeling being part of a Starion convoy. :D

This is the biggest classic car show in Victoria & is not to be missed.
Open to all Classics 25 years and older so that should now include most if not all wideys!

Please be aware that cars need not be 'concourse' as is as much about getting older cars and there owners together in one location to share their motoring passion. In previous years there's been in excess of 2000 cars in attendance, Aussie, American, European & Jap all present

Panda +1 already booked for accommodation only 4 spots left!!!

Yes , I'll be there . It's was good last time .

Looking forward to it .

ill pop down for the day. are there many cops on the road on the way from melbourne?

not that i plan on being silly....

As mentioned in previous posts, I'm keen to come along this year.
Looks like I might take the widey as it's over 25 years old.
Any other people from NSW going? Let us know!
:beer

I suspect the constabulary will be around but in previous years have focused on the Calder Fwy route to the venue, which is the way most people go, we'll be coming in from the other side, not as much traffic and easier to get in, don't need to queue for as long

Great offer Andrew, you're a born salesman, knew you had it in ya :wink:

In the years so far, the only cops we've seen using the route we go are the ones managing traffic out of Hanging Rock.

So we've got Mal, Lee, Pete & myself so far. And maybe Morris. Can you buy a nice Starion in time Andy?

Unfortunately wont have new Starion in time for the event, It will be March at the earliest before I'm in the position, though there are a number of pretty good ones For Sale currently, hope there still around when I'm in the position to buy.

Will be there in spirit :D :beer

Ok, I've booked my seat on the widey and will be catching up with Mitsumadness (Hugh) Saturday arvo. We can meet up on Sunday morning at Hichy's place :)

Hopefully there can be a catch up with forum members and co on the night before if willing. :beer

Who else is coming from NSW?? This car show is mind-blowing :P

Just confirming that my partner & I will be travelling over from SA on the Saturday, & staying at Andy's place that night. Would be great if we could have a get together at or near there on the Saturday night.
Doing a few little jobs on the JB this weekend in readiness for the show. Looking forward to meeting you all again, plus any new visitors.
Cheers.

Hi All,

Anybody need accommodation near the event on Saturday night?

Had a bit interest from the Sigma-Galant guys, at present got 2 attending both really good examples of classic Mitsubishis:

Sigma
GTO Galant

We should get a really good turn out this year.

Potentially picking up a 1980 Scorpion this weekend as donor car for the Galant, bought it for the 2.6 astron II motor fitted and the suspension components.

Doesn't look to bad from the photos, If it scrubs up ok, I may bring it along.

Cheers,

Hitchy
