The sound system was cool!

I haven't looked at my pics yet cause I think I have to get in the right frame of mind to see that blue WTF machine.

Damien, the single cub is looking great with the new wheels and front beam installed!


I have to say the 3 dubs in the 'rat' area amongst the best cars on the day.
I saw heaps of people do a double take when they saw the fastback!

LOL! Oh my that thing was "interesting". I looked at it and couldn't believe that somebody had spent time and effort (not much obviously) on that!

Good turn out of bikes this year as well.

good to see the Indian's back on the scene. Know he's booked for Old Bar, will this count as two kombis?

Anyway here's some pics (you can tell when the headache kicked in)...

This thing deserve some special mention. I couldn't get sense out of the owner (maybe spends as much time in the pharmacy as the shed?) So I am still wondering is it art, parody or what?
Anyway it's kinda Burning Man Festival meets The Cars That Ate Paris meets magic mushrooms and psuedoephedrine.

Matt, any more details on that last one with the DOHC four banger ? never seen anything like it before.... very cool.

As usual, bulk loads of photos to a very high standard cheers from a bloke on the West coast who can never get to any of these events.


squizy - September 8th, 2006 at 11:16 AM

Great pics as always Matt. That dodgem car and go kart are way cool. Going to have to drag Gill along next year.

I can feel when the headache started Matt. Ohhhh the pain.

Developed by Jack E. Gallivan (Illinois) from 1926 until 1930. Used a pair of two-inch valves in each cylinder as well!

Quite a few similar ohc systems were done by Joe Gemsa, Frontenec (developed by the Chev brothers) and McDowell.

Just to keep the line of the rail better and knock out a bit of vertical resitance at the front of the car.
A few will have thiers standing.
