Here are some pics of the cars at Marques in the Park yesterday.
This is only a very small representation of the many cars that attended.

Enjoy.

Sorry Yella

I didn't get down to your end of the park. I am sure there would have been a whole heap of cars to snap if I had. As it was I only snapped a few cars in my immediate vicinity but I would have loved to have been able to wander round and check them all out, I miss so much these days.
The rough terrain plays hell with my hip!

Glad you liked Adrians VH (baby blue sedan with VN headed 308 - carb hanging out the bonnet, looks white in the pics).

Hi Struggler.

You have obviously heard that car, it's awesome... Judging by the manifold work you probably built that engine?
The photo's don't do it justice. One had to be there when it rumbled in to fully appreciate it.
That car has the exact sound and idle that I am looking for.

It turned many a head when it entered the park.

i myself will be there, will definatly find you guys and come over and hang out if i may.

the UC might be running then, but i very much doubt it will be rego's and engineered.
however depending on how responsible i feel ont he day, considering i only live just down northbourne i might think about possible putting my car in.

cheers mate.

the ways of a 7 week permit have only just bee shown to me, so if the torana is running, ill be out.
ill ask though (might seem like a stupid question but ive been to clubs before where this has come up) is there a standard at the meet?
my car isnt awfull but it isnt bueatefull, still stock brown on shiny stock rims. the interior is stock but still looks nice (its in good condition)
if theres anyone thats gonna have a problem with a less than cosmetically perfect car let me know and ill walk down:)
if not though, ill be there.

Patrick, any motor vehicle/cycle/truck whatever

any condition. This is not a show its a gathering of like minded people having a quiet and enjoyable picnic in the park.

Yes a permit could be the way for you to be able to drive down.

Bring a camping chair! We usually take some food and drink or the BBQ trailer but some food and drink are on sale in the park. I will try and find out if the club BBQ will be present, in the past if usually has. I think around $5.00 gets you a sausage sambo and a cold drink - member or guest.
Perhaps someone on the CTC committee might like to clarify this for us all

awesome thats nice to know.
im picking the engine up in a few weeks, i reckon ill have maybe three to put the 308 in and get it running. than theres a few small things to fix up, a wheel stud, a wheel nit, loose seatbelts, swaybar bushes etc. im being pretty damn optimistic but with a few small miricles hopefully ill be there in the UC.

So you are really tempting fete by having shiny shit hanging out of the bonnet? My hat is off to you, I would like that too but can't see myself flaunting a car like that in front of our coppers

It sounds like it would go down well at Summernats, they like shiny shit hanging out there
