TOCAU National Meet - Melbourne June long weekend

[SilverRA23]

Thought I might just post this up in case any one is interested in going along. I don't have anything to do with it other than thinking I will pop along to the show and shine and see what the kids have on show

Details are from http://au.toyotaownersclub.com

Saturday June 6th
- 11:00 AM Meet and Greet Toyota Brighton
- 12:30 PM BBQ Lunch and TOCAU National Meet Stickers and Showbags Give away. (I'll a list of numbers for this guys)
- 2:30 PM Show and Shine
- 5:00 pm Head to The Garage Cafe for a Meal. The Garage Cafe has requested we arrive early to park our cars indoors in readiness for a meal.


Sunday
- 9:00 AM Meet up for the Cruise at TMCA head quarters in Port Melb..cruise is looking long and lengthy out through yarra valley/dandenongs etc

Perhaps some of the classic celica guys might want to pop along on the saturday for a look. I think a few of the corolla guys are going to head out on the cruise on the sunday.

So any one tempted to go have a look at this? I am going to try and get there between 11 and 12 for a look at the cars. Will be in my newly roadworthied TA22

I'll try to make the cruise weather permitting.

Do you have a route listing for the cruise so i can meet up somewhere in the Yarra Valley and continue along from there instead of heading into town just to cruise back this way?

I couldn't find the info on the TOCAU web site...

Might end up there on Saturday as well if i find myself free that day as well.
Be nice to see your new wheels, Adam.

Here is the thread on their forum

Its a tad vague for concrete timings but maybe you can give the organiser a buzz.

The directions look to be pretty comprehensive. I might stick them up on the TCCA website too if it will accept them.

Realised I am planning on going up to yarra glen that day, would be good to catch up with the cruisers some where.

Show n Shine was a pretty good turn out and quite a few toymodders showed up for a look or to get their car dragged in to the show. Modern machines were mostly order of the day, but there was enough old tin there to satisfy this enthusiast.

Link to my photos from the day here -

Highlights were:

TE27 - was runner up in a number of categories including interior and members choice I think.





RA23



TE72 with a 3SGTE - was a Toyota exec car which had passed through a few hands.



KE30 with a 7K - won best engine bay





Brett's Corona - nice to meet you Brett!



I always liked the ST185 WRC car



Takumi was represented. Love the rear watanabes



And this was the first outing for Mission Brown but I left her out in the car park

Hi guys,
great to see so many proud Toyota owners in the one place. Did'nt expect to be in the show which was a nice surprise. If i did i would of entered the car offically and washed it. Dave deserved the merit for his Levin it is in a class of its own and it was good to see the old school mixing it up with the new.The guys did a great job of organising the event and i hope the interstaters enjoyed our hospitality over the long week end.
