Just wondering if any1 is interested in a cruise to the state
of Canberra???. The venue is Marques in the Park & it caters
for hundreds of cars & peeps, it takes place on the 25/11/2007
and we would have to leave Leo's diner at 5:00AM to 5:30AM
to be in Canberra by 9:00AM. There is no cost in entering this
car show only your time & effort to get there. So there if no 1
goes i will travel by myself & i am use doing that (my job).


cheers Keith

Count me in!

However would more than likely take the Bombadore down for the drive.

Yep I could be up for that.. I could join the cruise on the Hume near Moss Vale. I could also take the car back and show the previous owner all my handy work. The car should be reliable by then.. I am still ironing out some minor bugs... legacy of sitting for 5 years... :rolleyes:

This will be my Hatchback's first public showing :spoton:

It would be to hard to get the race torrie out, as I am in the middle of a end of season maintenance... engine out etc...

Some further info on Marques In the Park

Taken from their website:


"Canberra, ACT
25 November 2007
5th Annual Marques in the Park
This year�s theme is '100 years � 1000 vehicles'. This display has grown from 200 cars in 2003 to 550 in 2006. We expect to see 1000 vehicles on display from 100 years of vehicles in the Canberra Region. Clubs & owners are invited to join the fun, from 9am.

It should be a good one guys, the entrant number grows every year.

Don't forget your folding chairs and some sun block although Our club has a regular spot in the shade.

** This is NOT a trophy event.

All forum members made welcome.

I cant see why not, there is tons of room there. :)

Perhaps one of the Canberra Torana Club Committee might want to speak up here, enough of them lurk here :)

Yes unreg cars can be towed there and displayed. A small number of purpose built race cars are usually on show.
Cars being restored and cars that are going to be restored (rusting hulks) are also there.

The major thing not wanted there are hoons doing grass burnouts etc :)

I will be there but with the VP Commy.
Sadly the Torry will be off the road for some time yet.

Its a quiet relaxed day and a good chance to meet up with friends one may not have seen for a while.
