Werribee District Collectible Vehicle Club show n shine 2013

March 24, 2013 · by outffocus

A small but impressive array of vehicles gathered today at the Mossfiel Reserve in Hoppers Crossing for the Werribee District Collectible Vehicle Club show n shine. This annual event always attracts a wide variety of motoring memorabilia covering many genres from your tough street rods, Aussie and American muscle cars through to an eclectic assortment of vintage European and home grown rides just to name a few. The laid back approach to today’s event was just the tonic for a Sunday stroll around our favourite vocation while catch up with old friends and meeting new ones with likeminded interests. It is always a guarantee at these locally run shows and any excuse to get the pride and joy out too!

With fantastic weather, a bucking bronco, a handful of trade stands and Fletch from Classic Restos, the show was complete and catered well for the perusing admirers. Trophy time saw the judges hard work done and all that remained was a casual cruise home and a check of the calendar for what’s on next! If you’re not sure what’s coming up next weekend or in the future, why not drop me an email and I can add you to my “what’s on this weekend mailing list” where you will be kept up to date each week with what shows and swap meets can be found in Victoria.

Keep on cruising,

Cheers,

Greg

Westfad car show 2013

March 10, 2013 · by outffocus

Today I decided to venture off to a show I knew little about and as this show was only in its second year of running, it is understandable. A great local event located at Bunnings Warehouse in Caroline Springs, West side of Melbourne, this car and bike show brought out the quality of rides normally reserved for much bigger events. The variety of vehicles on show covered many genres giving punters a great in vision into what the automotive scene is about.

With all proceeds going to Westfad, a joint venture between the Deer Park and Sunshine Lions clubs to be distributed to the needy, car and bike enthusiasts alike are more than happy to throw their weight behind such a charity if it’s an excuse to get their pride and joy out for the day! The high temperature couldn’t keep them away and the reserved section of the parking lot quickly filled up.

This is to become an annual event and, with the continued support of Bunnings and fantastic organising skills of Westfad, Bunnings may have to give up more of their carpark for future events! So if you’re looking to feel good about helping charity while needing an excuse to get your pride and joy out, mark this one down in your calendar and we’ll see you there next year!

Keep on cruising!

Cheers,

Greg

Geelong All Holden Day 2013

March 2, 2013 · by outffocus

Over 600 cars of the Holden variety and other GM related products converged on the Geelong showgrounds for a glorious day of show n shine. Put on by the FX-HZ Holden car club, the well-executed event went off without a hitch seeing many owners and punters enjoy a stroll among the many varied Aussie marques from classic original to wild custom! All models were well represented showing what they looked like off the production line to what can be done to them with a little imagination and a lot of elbow grease.

Fletch from Classic Restos was on hand to record the day’s events in his own entertaining style while tunes and announcements came from the dulcet tones of Pinky. Food stands were a plenty while eager enthusiasts could shop up at the numerous trade stands found throughout the grounds.

It was great to catch up with the many friends and fellow enthusiasts I’ve met over the years attending and photographing these events while also meeting new supporters of this vocation as well. The number of images I have here is only a snap shot of what could be seen so if you want to take the whole scene in and have not attended this one, next year should be even bigger so come on down and join in the relaxed atmosphere surrounded by your favourite element.

Keep on cruisin’

Cheers,

Greg
