was really a great day guys, thanks for organising!
Yeah, back in Vic, and came down for it. Spent most of the time chatting to old mate who ran the joint though, good guy.

I didn't even work out who takai was, though i saw the ute
Great turn out and the venue worked out pretty well considering it was a stab in the dark based on a few emails.
Couple of pics:
Mmmm how good are old Crowns
Got Patina?
How cool is Brown!!
The rare and elusive Emmasaurus Levin
Something Japanese inside the museum too!
Rest of them are here

Sorry I didn't get every one this time, the spread out nature of the parking meant I couldn't keep up, and socialise, and score Crown parts all at the same time![]()
Hahha, i see you even snapped a photo of the ute too...

(now that's my type of racing)
well another great day
it will be hard to top that , but we will try
these events are just getting better ,
thanks to the organisers ,even the guy with the penny farthing
was great to talk with
nostalgia is not what it used to be:
Thanks for the kind words Ian.. glad people appreciated it.
We ran the cafe out of milk, and the owner was staggered by the turnout, most car clubs he gets have 6 people show up!
May's event will be the more traditional "talking shit in a carpark" donuts event, this time in Brighton. Slim and I are just working out the finer details and then I will let everyone know the details![]()

Brown is Very cool, but then I'm biased and have had the last four years to get used to it as well. Thanks to the organisers, the missus and I enjoyed looking at some classics and the museum was great. We didn't get to really meet anyone but we were a bit short on time and there were lots of cool cars (and bikes) to look at. Hope to talk to more of you at the next one.
Oh and just to clarify (she won't be happy if I don't) this is her car!

Location - Carpark just to the south of Brighton Baths and Brighton Yacht Club, off the Esplanade. Please fill the carpark from the southern end first so we don't annoy the locals too much.
