Yeah, end of Box Road is an industrial estate past the reserve. Rat show is in and around the industrial estate with others and shiny cars in the reserve. I was thinking of parking the Spyder in the reserve with a mates 28 Ford roadster for a giggle. Not sure about the cruise?

Found it!

Much bigger than I thought. I got aq few snaps but they don't come anywhere near doing justice to the event or the cars.

Heaps of cars when I arrived at 7.30 and it just kept getting bigger. As I drove off at 10.30 I passed about 20 more heading in. Must've been 100-200 cars by the end. So big they filled the industrial estate and them comandered the adjoining oval. Everything from Caddies to Morris to Harleys and shit I have never seen before - e.g. home made diesel farm bike. Here's a coupe of shots.

I was suprised at how big this scene is. This is just a few of these rods but there must have been 50 or 60 at least.

DubbinDan - September 2nd, 2007 at 08:32 PM

The blinds were awesome. Very hi tech. Thought I had a shot of them but no. That Nash was great.

Just dropped in for a look on the way back from my long bike ride, getting bigger every year this event. Anyone get a photo of the 6 cyl Ford powered hydroplane on the trailer in the oval?:thumb
