Toranafest 2017

And we have 300 pre-entered cars. 

Gonna be a big one this year. 

300 !   yikes, great numbers

Good stuff Marty
i lucked out on a bed for you unless i kick Skap out on his arse

G'day guys, I've bought my plane ticket and I'm coming over!
I know everything's sold out but I'm hoping to scab a bunk bed. Not looking for a free ride and happy to pay my share.
I don't take up much space and Gene and my wife say I don't snore.

Looking forward to catching up with all the boys again.



Wahooo, can't wait.

Marty

So you are a Toranafest "virgin"

I've been going since 2008 and have made many friends and every Toranafest weekend is better than the last one

I don't know how the HVTC do it    BUT  they do

Definitely not a "SummerNats" type event AND definitely not one to miss for the Torana enthusiast

RegardSS .............. Barry

You've gotta drive it there Gerry.  3.5's, not problem

Chickening out and trailering it now :-)

Yep and she will be up for sale at the Fest too.  Had enough of you fools

Only 10 days left to pre enter Toranafest!! 

There's only so many car spaces and we are well on the way to filling them. 

If you haven't entered yet, sooner is better than later.

G'day All

As one grows older, one's memory tends to fade a bit    so I thought I would throw up a few pics from my previous Toranafests 

2008

AND 

Oh, and there were some Toranas there causing a traffic jam

2009

And yet another bloody traffic jam 

And a high view of the Fest

2010

This was a strange one ie the photo tells all

Even Elvis turned up

2011

Not a bad line-up

Cisco was there with his trademark Mexican hat

AND he had an interview with some old fart

2012

Gotta teach'em young

Not quite sure how this photo got on my list of memories

2013

This became a bit of an arm wrestle to work out what to do with your spare time

A lovely lady was there to share her memories

Two blokes were too tight to book a room so they slept in their A9X's

Now jump 2 years to biennial 2015 Toranafest

At the Toranafest cruise, one fella had forgotten where he parked his Torana 

Yes, that's him on the left scratching his head

AND no wonder he couldn't find it, bloody Toranas every where 

No need to sneak up behind someone and scare the living be-jesus out of ya, eh Ned 

Three famous faces and one photo-bomber

Now that lot of photos helped to jog my fading memory on why I love going to Toranafest

Looks like you've got wind Barry ?

G'day All

If I can get it up there, I am bringing a Hatchback to be auctioned off on the Friday Meet 'n Greet mine auction for Ronald McDonald House

Now it is not your every day Hatchback and it does have a crack in the windscreen and also one in the back window, oh and yes, another one over the roof

It has been carved using a chainsaw    by my wife's cousins father in Narranderra and I have oiled it with Linseed Oil

Measures 66cm long x 26cm wide x 22cm tall and at 17.2 kg, it is fur king heavy 

Reason for the crack is it was carved from green wood ie newly cut

Carving from dried wood is much harder and still would have had cracks in it

Obviously this is a one off piece as Allan does not carve cars but mainly animal figures

He carved a snake for us from a forked piece of wood making the snake to appear to be rising it's head from a branch

Remember this auction is for Ronald McDonald House so please dig deep in those pockets and support  a worthy cause
