picnic at hanging rock sun 13th feb 2011

[Supra1978]

Hello, I will be attending this year's Picnic, however:



I was invited to bring my UZS131 Crown along, but I shall respect the wishes of the organisers.

Cheers,
Brendon

Brendon,

Was the invitation from someone directly involved with the organisation of this event (and the eligibility of display vehicles)? If it was, then please ignore my commentary.

My comments reflect the position of the club organising this event.

If your MS112 is a goer why not display that?

Being relegated to the public carpark ain't so bad. (Definitely still worth the drive out to the Rock for the show.) I was directed to the public carpark for years when I dared to arrive in a RA28, TA45 or MA46, but that was at a time when these cars were in the less than 25 year category.

It was dfunkt from this forum.

...If your MS112 is a goer why not display that? ...

Ah yes, the MS112 - I suspect you are looking at a photo taken 6 years ago it is in need of a total rebuild. I read somewhere on this forum that "damage adds character". If that is true, then she currently has a lot of character

if it can out "charactor" my celica ill eat my shoes. Im still not sure why ian keeps trying to get me to display it atm (nor am i convinced to). he wants me to put a big "before" sign in front of it lol

[SilverRA23]

ian is a celica perve... he will look at anything with a celica badge on it

[ian]

i take umberidge at you umberance
i like early holdens as well

[Silly Rabbit]

...oh and bring snacks / lunch for those who want to prepare......or get in early at the food stalls......anything approaching midday is just gonna see lines a kilometre long waiting for food....food stalls I think are Lions clubs etc so always good to give them a few dollars.

i bring my bike as well , cos thats the only way you get to see it all

Do you reckon you would be allowed to use a little peewee50 (quiet 4stroke) to cruise around on? (im guessing not)

[ian]

i dont know
the worst that can happen is they tell you to put it away

[Roscos]

A peewee, a push bike, l think you will be told to put it away.


Hey boys, next year a week before Hanging Rock they hold a day at Maddingley Park in Bacchus Marsh, just a smaller version of hanging rock but good for a look.
$10 to get in with your car, $5 to have a look. There were no Toyota's there but everything you could think of even a 2004 Bentley sitting on 22in wheels with 295/25/22 tyres on the back, it looked pimp.

You were there? My favorite car of that show was a completely stock looking Brown Datsun 280C driven by an elderly man... with a turbo-charged 'L' motor

I also saw a Triumph Staaaaaag with the original V8 too
