Thanks to everyone who made the event what it was today! Awesome, awesome awesome!

Who would have thought we would be getting sunburnt today after yesterday's weather.

Big thanks to Toyota, Shannons and Chroma Canvas for supporting the event, and even bigger thanks to the club members who spent their time BBQ'ing, selling raffle tickets, directing traffic etc etc.

We couldn't have hoped for a better show for a first up effort, so we are stoked.

I tried to get around and take a photo of every car. I think I succeeded, but if I missed you many humble apologies.

Here are a few of my favourites


Cosmo - Awesome!


Loved this Mazda SS - great shape and so clean!


The orange Datsun 1600 was just amazing. So bright, so clean, and not a twin cam turbo engine in sight!


Mmmm carbs


Supercharged Mighty Boy! So glad these two came.. they made my day!


I am with gmonkey.. this was a sweet first gen Civic

What an awesome day!! Big thanks to all the TCCAV crew for putting on a ripper of a day, to say i'm sunburn't is a major understatement!!!

Was great to see so many different Japanese makes and models all together and everyone I spoke to throughout the day said how well it was organised and ran.

Cannot wait for this to happen next year as I have no doubt that it is going to explode once the members of the associated car clubs that attended tell the other members how good of a day it was!

I had a great day, the cars were all amazing and I have the best sunglasses line on my face, the sun was killer!!!

And my little Corona looked very pretty out on the grass.

Bring on next year, thankyou to all that put this show on.

Cheers Brad.

I was very impressed with the quantity and quality of the cars today. Great to see the classic Toyotas joined by their Japanese counterparts.

It was particularly nice to see so many of the cars restored to their original condition or tastefully modified. I don't think i saw a single set of giant chrome rims and only a couple of cannon exhausts..... quite refreshing.

Congrats to the organisers. I don't think you'll have any trouble getting support from sponsors next year.

Definitely best van on show.. since it was the only one.

And Oscar, what's your donation to beyondblue for the advertising, can't have you getting a better deal than the other vendors parked in the area
