That maroon Monaro has been at Gladstone show last two years and it it by far the best car I have ever seen. It is just a knock out

Yep....it definately is a quality car!

My vote went to the '67 stang. But perhaps i'm biased!
Strangely.....at the end of the day....my son thought it was the car he would 'take home' too!
I had no influence in his decision........really! lol

It was really good to see 'pink miss' back on the circuit. [pink LJ]
I have never really appreciated the work which has gone into that build,& i have seen the car on many occasions , but now i have a new understanding.
Well done to 'mandy & Dave! [gee i hope i got the 'amanda' part right, thought i dont think i did!] LOL
Great to see the car out & about again!

Obviously there were a lot of nice cars there, but i didn't take too many pics. The crowd was mad!

Yea that Maroon Monaro was up here at the Burdekin Auto Fest this year, one truly amazing car. It still pisses me off that I didn't take my camera!!!

Gotta love engines that are higher than the roofline!! :spoton: :spoton:

Thanks Col for your kind words - I am still trying to find my way around the forum - haven't been on for ages - pretty busy...
Great that you caught up with David at the All Holden Day and thanks for the pic!! You will see us around a lot more now. Mandy.

I remember 'Pink Miss" from the early 90's when i used to show my XU1. Mine was orchid so they were both a similar colour. I believe that pink miss has had a makeover in the last few years. Good to see they kept the old colour!

I took my 3 nightshifts off so i didn't miss it, i'm sick of missing all the shows around here.

 

I'm even contemplating the Collinsville one.

Hi Mort, here's a link I found on Eventfinder:  http://www.eventfind...-show/home-hill  starts 9:00am Sunday @ the Race Course

 

I also cocked up with the shows.  Homehill is this weekend, Mackay Rod & Custom is the 11/12 May, "Classics by the Coast" (Emu Park) is the 26th May, and Collinsville is 1st weekend of June
