Went to the show today. Didnt take too many photos as I was a little hungover but here are a few pic.

Nice bunch of pics. Really like that effect you've done there - what is it?That's Bruce's old single cab (Byronbus on DSK) in your first pic. Didn't catch the guys name who bought it but he took it along as just a roller.

Good to see Mullers salt machines, and for Ryan to start the Ghia up for an ear blast. Then the fun police came and told him to shut it down.

For me it was a bit zzzzville. A few new things, but down on numbers. Was missing something this year - I wonder what it was?

Good pics mike.

It was good to see a decent turnout of old single cabs.

But I totally agree, there was something missing this year...

Though I thought that the layout was better organised compare to past years.

I am the new owner of Bruces single.

I quickly cobbled the bits together to get it rolling, and I had the interior ready so I fitted that as well. The idea was to see how many singles they could get at the show.

I think most like what I have done.

Thanks

Phil

There was a bit of a nasty roll over out the Supersprint on the Saurday.
Greg Mackie in his schwarz 60 Beetle.
Nasty. Good news is that he is ok.

Lots of details on AVD

That rollover was caused by a failure of brand new drum on the rear

Ah nice one Phil. It sat really neat. Are you going to try and keep it that low come rego time and try and get around the steering box issues? The rims sat in the guards a treat.

Seeing this car first hand when we unloaded it last night.

I have to hand it to Gregs brilliant engineering skills he wouldn't have walked away otherwise...

Steve brought the door to the show completely folded in half.

Squizy,
