[Whoosha]

Top effort gang just got a few snaps in as I had judging dutys in Vic but the others took heaps once again to all involved well done on another great day

[Melz]

Well I got there... Didn't think I would make it after competing early in the morning, but I did, even washed the ute in between and had to deal with the council too!! Too much to fit into a day!

Another great AFF turn out in Vic. Thankyou all for making he trip up to Bendigo. I hope you enjoyed your day. Good to meet some new faces and catch up with the old as always

Thankyou for my trophy to Very unexpected.

Thanks to Russ (JerseyVics) & Kev for putting up with me and helping out











Now where did Santa leave his Beam?


Hi Five jolly dude

[Argonautica]

Big thanks to all those who organised today (VIC). Kim / Mark and Santa - many thanks for feeding my 3 yr old son (Fraser) all the lollies/sugary drinks...he is still bouncing off the walls.
Santa - you had Fraser talking about you all the way home in the car - you did a great job.
Great to meet everyone too, some nice cars and good conversation. Thanks.

That makes two of us!! I unfortunately spent alot of my night talking into the porcelain telephone urgh!! Really upset, I'd been looking forward to this for months, had the car resprayed by the 29th deadline and everything :-(

Stoked that it sounds like everyone had a great day though, I'm sure that due to everyones efforts, there will be alot of much happier children over Christmas this year. Well done all!!

[snappy]

It was a great day ( vic ) on many levels great people, great cars and great hot dogs what more could you want .
Not to mention quite a sucessful days takings for the salvo's there will be quite a few extra smiling faces for chritmas this year and also a big thanks to the people who organised the meet .

nah I didn't get pulled up, that would have made a bad end to a great day. Kept it within the speed limit according to my GPS.

[Pearly]

Here's just a few from the Vic cruise.

I'll post up the rest possibly tomorrow when I have some time.

[Suvo]

Those are awesome Pearly, puts mine to shame lol

Any chance of a high res of the one with my car (R704)

[Fev]

Look at pics from bottom of post to top lol.
At the end we went underground for some shade to do the judging and trophies! Check out the colour of the sky.. bloody dust storm









No thats not me Thats the masterful Bluhoon - Not sure what he was doin over there... hmm maybe he had something to do with my car running out of fuel and breaking down on the other side of an intersection from a petrol station in the afternoon lol

[russellw]

A big thanks to Spoolman, Melz, Kev, Whoosha, Santa and everyone who turned up on the day to support this worthwhile event.

Thanks also to the sponsors and other supporters who gave so generously in order to help those in need.

The weather managed to imitate the fabled Victorian four seasons in one day but despite the conditions the standard of presentation in the show'n'shine made the judging difficult with some very well presented cars on show.

Cheers
Russ

PS: Thanks also to the EBay watchers for staying away.

Was a brilliant day, great to catch up with people, great to see so many cars out (including those Thunderbirds, beautiful machines!!!)

I was one of the last few cars in the main "group" along the Espy at Semaphore, seeing nothing but Fords lined up in front of me at the traffic light bottleneck was great... almost spewing I didn't jump out while the car was stopped waiting at the lights to just grab a couple of shots. There were a few of the nice sounding 8's a few cars in front getting some looks of envy from the pedestrians, few smiles were raised as you rumbled past!

Great day with the same hard workers as normal - well done. Pearly - your photos are always fabulous. What a lovely photo of Melz and Kev - "ain't love grand!"

It was really good to get the GT out again and those new cams just give it something extra. I was even allowed to drive it all the way there!

Cheers
Gaela

[Geez Louise]

Sweep looked so cute in his clothes.

Thanks to Spoolman, Melz, Whoosha and everyone else that helped organise today. Weather was great in the end.

Was great to see the fantastic support for this event. There will be some very happy kids this Xmas

Car almost made it home without hiccups....Too bad one of the raffle prizes wasnt a new head gasket! :(

Guess what Jack's getting for Xmas...

Jason

[Cobra]

SA had a huge turn out this year which was fantastic considering we're the smallest state participating and also a Holden town. So we've seen Vic and SA, where's the other states pics??

[Fev]

I put up Sydney pics, on page one

She might have to take a number Jason - I made a comment when he refused to walk on his lead that I could give him away, and Hords 2 gorgeous little girls thought I was seriously wanting a new home for him and offered theirs. Very funny and shows how children are so innocent and listen to more than we realise. Russell would be most upset if his baby wasn't here.

Cheers
