Default Marques in the park

This will be the 7th Annual Marques in the Park. It is a fantastic show with a huge variety of cars being on display. Each year there is a new car I have never heard of.

This show is open to Young to Old, People and Cars, Bog stock to Hot Rod, Primer to Polished, Street Cars to Street Machines, Rusty to Restored, Hacks to Show Cars, Hot 4’s to Big Block V8’s, and maybe V10’s or 12’s, Race cars, Drag cars, Rally cars, Speedway cars.

The show is in Canberra and starts mid morning. There is a cruise orgainsed before the show. We have traditionally missed the cruise in order to give us time to get to Canberra. Cruise starts at 7:00 and the show 9:30 for 10:00 gates open. It means we can leave at a reasonable hour not 3:30am.

We will discuss the meet and departure time at the next meeting. To see if people want to participate in the cruise. If not we can depart later in the morning.

I had to move a tree that fell on the wakehurst parkway today. I pulled over to move it and no one stopped to help. People just drove around it, one direction at a time. Landed about 50m in front of my car. Admittedly no where the size of the tree on the freeway, plus I did it in sunny conditions not 4 degress with rain / ice falling.

I had a great time in the nations capital. Very good turnout and just want to thank everyone for coming down.

Not as many cars as previous years, but I think the looming weather may have played part in that. Luckily the weather held off.

Anyone got some photos of the event?
