From about 10am to 3pm this Sunday on the lawns of old Parliament House. 220+ Holdens will be on display including many Toranas (L8 too). Should be a great day out.

Car still has bug marks on the windscreen from last Summer, that's how little it's been out of late.

I'm sure the weather will be fine. I had to go into work this afternoon and noticed that the Rare Spares van is set up, as is the Holden promotional caravan. Looks like it will be a good show.

There's always next year mate.

Last time I checked, work has advised that the light at the end of the tunnel may be turned on next month. Hope to catch up soon.

I Think its supposed to finish at 3.00pm so many cars may still be there, of course a number will have left.

Top day with top weather (at least when the sun was out). Great variety of Holden cars with a couple of really nice HK Monaros and a HG monaro. Quite a bit of new(ish) gear too with VE HSV's and 2 of the HSV Coupes. Naturally there was a good selection of Toranas present so when you tired of looking grey motors there was something else to look at.

Yeah, picked up 2nd competition Torana, I think the winner was a white A9X (Canberra TC?).

A long day but enjoyable with departing home at 5am and getting back at 8pm.

White A9X? 2 doors or 4? I hope it was Peter Spencer (4 dr), a really nice fella, the 2 dr is his mate Greg, GH number plates.

I was there briefly to drop something off, but I had to run to attend my daughter's soccer presentation.

I'm a very happy chappy...I collected 2 1st places...1st in the Torana stock category and to top it off I won the committee's choice...which was no mean feat considering the number of cars on show. My mate and I drove home to Wagga Wagga very pleased with ourselves. It was a great day and I hope to come back next year and defend my trophies.

I was a bit dissapointed, they would not judge my car because I swaped the entry with one of our club guys 2 weeks befor the show. They said it was not fair for the early entrants. Whats the difference?
