I went to cooly rocks on yesterday (Friday 07-06-13) in my opinion Friday is the better day as you can cruise with others and also see the parked cars. :)

Coppers were out as well looking at the cars, I had about 7 all up look at mine and taking some photos, was a little un-nerving at first, but after a little chat with a few of them, they were car nuts just like you & I, all was good. :D

 

I was cruising around with Ando (John) we had a ball burbling along the fore shore of Coolangatta, we caught up with Johns mate Sam and checked out some of the cars, chatted with others, ate a counter lunch while watching the cars and broads go by, drank some beers, talked a fair bit of shit as you do, yeah baby  :D

 

We caught up with Barry Jackpot (Chris) had a bit of a gasbag, top bloke, keen to catch up again an get the boys together, go for a cruise with Dad's Car (Chris's XU-1). 

 

I didn't Take too many photos this year, but I did take photos of the UN-LOVED cars, I for some strange reason find these cars interesting, I feel they have a little extra bit of character.

The bonnet on this truck is huge, would have to be at least 7 to 8 foot long, just like an old bastard with a big nose. :)

This one almost has a shine and no visible signs of rust, not a bad effort, I'll let it fit in the un-loved section but hopefully it has more rust next year. :D

You unfortunately cant see it but there is 15" of rubber under there, the tyres are huge.

Cooly is right at the top of my "must frOcking get your finger out of your ass and get there" list.

 

Maybe next year....

 

Awesome photo selection, it seems we have a similar taste Paul.

 

Cheers.

Paul and Ando are two of the nicest guys you'll ever meet and that hatch OMG it is just gorgeous in the flesh. Friday is definately the day if you can get outta work, it's got a completely different vibe to the rest of the weekend.

Here's a close up I took today of the rear wheel on that 55.

I'd need a bank loan to pay for those tyres

I see in an article in today's Courier Mail about a fight started by the Finks bike club. One of them king hit a 61 year old bloke that was taking photos of the brawl......Tarnishes what seemed to be a great event.

Wonder what the REAL story is....

 

Cheers.

Was always good watching Charlie on American Hotrod. He seemed like a genuinely nice decent bloke. Very skilful fella!
