Smokin’ Aces car and bike show 2012

November 19, 2012 · by outffocus

For a first time show, this auto spectacular had the makings of a long established event with a life of its own. Held on the picturesque Williamstown docks with the Melbourne skyline as a backdrop, high quality cars and bikes covered the concrete grounds and pier while rock and roll tunes courtesy of Itchy Fingers resonated across the docks adding to the atmosphere. The visual spectacle was further enhanced as rock and roll dances kicked up their heels showing us how it used to be done in the good ol’ days.

Heading inside the Seaworks Maritime shed, punters were greeted with high quality automotive eye candy from the well known twin blown Mustang to Case’s gorgeous red period style T bucket and a variety of other highly modified and detailed rides gleaming in all their show quality glory.

Outside hosted more impressive wheels on show including Peter Grmusa’s mad burnout XA Falcon ute appropriately named Evil XA and flanked by some equally impressive Bowtie hardware. Hogs, rods, Stangs, Holdens, Falcons, customs and muscle cars alike filled up all available spaces beholding a sight of visual colour and shine for owners and enthusiasts alike to take in. When done indulging in their favorite vocation, Pirates Tavern became a welcome spot to put your feet up and enjoy a beverage of the liquor variety while munching on one of the many takeaway foods on offer.

Beautiful model, Sandy was on hand to help with the announcements and presentations, seeing trophy winners receive their glass awards with flare while the guys and girls from Rev Heds had the cameras rolling all day to capture all the action for those who didn’t get the opportunity to take advantage of the great weather and attend.

A big congratulations needs to go out to the guys and girls of the Smokin’ Aces car club for putting on such a professional and well executed event. All in all, this is one for the whole family to enjoy and if this inaugural event’s first go is anything to go by, next years can only be more impressive and should not be missed.

Keep on cruzin’

Cheers,

American Breed car show 2012

November 19, 2012 · by outffocus

Chamois were the order of the day for this year’s American Breed car show held at the Manhattan hotel in Ringwood, Melbourne. Dark clouds and showers tried to dampen the enthusiasm of the American muscle car clan but it’ll take more than a little rain to do that! The car park filled quickly as usual with every conceivable American built muscle car marques from stock and modified Chevs, Fords and Dodges through to rare beasts like the Roadrunner and Buick Wildcat filling spaces. Not to be left out, an array of four door and pick up Yankee iron helped mix up the range of vehicles on show while a smattering of new builds and imports caught the attention of the diehard fans bringing them in for a closer look.

The event is put on by the always proficient 60s American Muscle Car Club seeing those who have attended in the past, coming back time and again knowing they’ll get their moneys worth while the hotel always has great lunch time feeds for the hungry crowd.

If this is your scene or you’re wondering what all the fuss is about, check this one out next year, you won’t be disappointed! With plenty of American iron being shipped to our shores, there’s sure to be new rides turning up every time!

Keep on cruzin’

Cheers!

Shannons show and glow 2012

November 4, 2012 · by outffocus

The picturesque town of Ballarat in Victoria hosted the Shannon’s show and glow motoring show today along the tranquil shores of Lake Wendouree. I not sure if the show was complimenting the market stalls found around the lake’s foreshore of if it was the other way around. The turnout of cars was huge with many local car clubs participating as well as clubs from out of town. Scores of individual entrants also proudly displayed their classic cars seeing the lush green grounds covered in almost every marque conceivable.

The locals turned out in droves to enjoy the glorious weather and take in the motoring spectacle as they strolled around the lake’s 6 km walking paths for an enjoyable day out.

The range of motoring art on displayed included vintage vehicles from as early as 1912 through to the latest $450,000 Mercedes Benz convertible and everything in between. Classic Australian and American iron, commercials, exotics, sports and muscle cars could be found gleaming with astute pride along with the owners that have kept them in this condition.

This annual event is a great opportunity to visit the historical town of Ballarat and take in the many other activities it has on offer. Why not book it in for next year, bring your walking shoes and we’ll see you there.

Keep on cruzin’

Cheers,

Greg
