Decepticonr
im going saturday
DeeAndrear
i've got huge things on fri nite thru sunday morning.. but if i'm in any decent fit state, i'll be heading down sunday to catch it... i went last year and was a little disappointed, not sure why.. just didn't really have the WOW factor that the previous years had.. smaller crowd, similar cars.. nothing really original to knock me over.. but still a good day out either way!
joker4r

will take the camera and post some pic up for u all

fo_sho_manr

fo_sho_manr

$18 to get in, what a joke.. another reason why I wouldn't go.. its pretty much like going to an art gallery, it all looks the same now laugh.gif

Oldskoolier

PaulHamonr

joker4r
SSWWWWWeeeeetttttttt lol tongue.gif
Oldskoolier
cool... The tx3 chix flabby guts could have been sucked in. Luckily the car is good lookin! tongue.gif
SupraPolakr
I was thinking about going but didn't!

AND, lookin at some of those pics I think I made the right choice.

I'm sure there were some decent cars there but all in all, not worthy of my time & money IMHO.

Next time if we all chip in $1 and elect one person to go and take pics that may be a better alternative. biggrin.gif LOL
joker4r
i was good, but i cant justerfly the $18 tho

Joker4 - Claim it on tax next year as a work related expense. Your in the industry so your entitled to it!!
fo_sho_manr
I should get into bird watching then, could of claimed this too laugh.gif
joker4r
well my photos from the sunday r now up on the gallerys


>>>>>Sunday auto salon<<<<<<<<
Sangr
one of my favs
scatteredr
it wasn't too bad, but there are too many that never see a road for my liking..

A nice car should be one thats driven!!!
fo_sho_manr
I agree 100% with that..
buzznr
yup! personally that s15 was one of my least favourite cars.

cars are designed to get you from point A to point B (stopping at kfc on the way.. wink.gif )
sure we can mod them and personalise them, but they still should fulfill their primary purpose. that thing never will. its unrealistically modded (and the interior esp. the dash is really underdone compared to the rest - almost like he forgot about it to the last min or ran outta cash!).

still, each to their own. lotsa ppl loved it.
joker4r
some ppl like to say its art, well it is kinda, but i just like to say they have go to much money, but beeing a ex mechanic, it is kinda worth wild seeing the finish art work all done, depending of how much u have done, if ya know what i mean
joker4r
just a update my mate with the green TX3 from above won best interor, and best ford.

the red RWD magna took out 15 trophys in total, including best of the show
scatteredr
Joker4 do yo know Spike as well...!

The good think about the green TX3 is that he has done most of the work himself!!

Hats off to those people!!
