**ToyotaFest 2013! - Sunday 6th October**

[Hiro]

Seeing as how it was my first behind the scenes rather than just a normal entrant I didn't get anywhere near as many photos this year, but that would have to be the only complaint (bar sunburn) from what turned out to be a perfect (but busy) day. Weather couldn't have been better, a record number of entrants to help celebrate 'Fest #10, and finally a chance to use the rooftop carpark after so many years of bad fluoro lighting and overcast drizzle.


Awesome idea for trophies AND a great way to get rid of those junky bits and pieces laying around the garage...


Jason's ultra-clean AE82 almost always walks away with an award...


X80s represented


As did the X100s


Charlie the Chook still remembers coming home from Charlestown Toyota on the backseat of my dad's brand new 1997 Corolla. 16 years on, and whilst he is starting to look a little weathered, he still takes time out to be a champ and hold up my entrant's number whenever I enter Charlene in an event


Subaru engines aren't the prettiest of things....until you cover them in carbon-fibre that is...


Never has a 7AF(T)E managed to look so clean and purposeful...

And on to the awards:

Stitty's interpretation of a victory dance...


Zen Garage gear RULES!


Lambo doesn't look very happy with his lollipop...


Timing chain gears RULE!


All that effort for an oil filter on a block of wood?


Pantene - because the modern man wants more "air in his hair"


Knob-gazing...


"After 3 years you'd think someone would be able to beat me..."


"I'd like to thank the Academy, and Jesus"


Have Varex, will travel...

[Hiro]

And a panoramic to top it off - apologies to the two KEs that got botched stitch jobs, first time playing around with the software (got the full-size and the originals if someone else wants to have a better go)

Hiro I never got to meet you but saw your lovely car

Was glad I got to meet Luke and Chuck who helped me with my car in regards to the airbags (along with the others who also chipped in). really appreciate it.

Hiro I never got to meet you but saw your lovely car

You did actually I was over looking at the Crown Athlete wagon when you were talking to Stitty, and ran into you again when you were trying to find Rod

I'm down fairly often, just about every main Toymods event (plus the occasional monthly meet) and some other clubs too.

Thanks to the Toymods Board, the venue, and all the sponsors for making this event happen. It was an awesome day, I got to meet a bunch of great guys and see some beautiful beasts!

Hi Guys,

A big thanks to Dave, Anthony and the rest of the team for making it a great day.
A couple degrees cooler would have been nice - but SO much better than rain!!!

Was great to catch up with alot of people i haven't seen for quite a while - and to get the car out which also hasn't been seen for quite a while!!!

Cheers
Stew

Well done guys on yet another awesome Toyotafest!!! It was an amazing day, made even better by winning Top Car Of Show for the third year. I still can't believe it......The standard of cars this year was incredible. In my opinion there was at least 5 cars that were in the running. Thanks to all the officials for standing in the heat all day to make sure the day ran smoothly, RadRollaz and I'm sure everyone else greatly appreciate it. I have made the decision to not have the car judged next year, 20 -30 hours of cleaning before the show takes its toll on your senses, as well as the family. Thanks again guys.

Man, I so wish I had taken time off work to go to this event!
Alas I have no Toyota's in my life atm and have moved onto what Subaru has to offer....
The Nissan is too precious to give up on for a Toyota again...

Looks like it was a great day out!

[malbolgia]

Well, all I can say is I'm glad I'm a Toyota Owner/Fan/Supporter.

Damn it was bloody hot. Still managed to pinch off a few shots of the absolutely stunning Yodas on show.
Esp the huge gathering of Celicas. Definitely a highlight for my day.

The rest of the Album will be up shortly on Triple6pix.

Massive thanks to Toymods Car Club and those who were the key players for organizing the spectacular 10th Anniversary Toyota Fest. I've been to the last 3 years and you've outdone yourselves every time. Much love. You guys are great. I might make a Monday meet one day. haha

Also a chunky cheers to Zen Garage for sponsoring the show and awarding some raffle winners some cool shit. Incl. a Varex Exhaust. Not a bad score for that bloke.

And heerrrre they arrrrre.

Clutch loved this... :/


Paolo Silvertop Ae92 was pretty as ever.


Well this was a surprise. Fulltime 4WD ae92 Sedan. Mint.


Good number of Hachirokus on show. And killer presentations.




Plenty of JZA80s. With this one being a haven of flashy Carbon. ERR WHERE!!




A mate of mine alerted me to a purple Hilux in the carpark. Went and checked it out.
This was what I was met with. Tyre Slayer.

[malbolgia]

There wasn't as many Toyota/Subaru Hybrids that I thought there would be. But the one's that were. Wow.

The most mentally murdered 1jz vvti TA23 night stalking Celica.
Holy Sh*t!! I couldn't leave this thing alone. Pure evil. \m/
