Southern Highlands Motorfest

G'day, saw a banner for Southern Highlands Motorfest at Chevalier College at Bowral NSW today, it's on this Sunday 30th October, last year there was the Sydney Torana Club as well as a heap of other South coast and local clubs and cars, including a few big Kenny's but no vans. I will take some pics if anything's interesting and if anyones nearby and interested in going it would be good to have a chat.

Cheers Mark

A few pics from today
Nice Sandman

Local van, plates say HQ but might have been changed some time

Another local car, bloody nice.

Who doesn't love a '57

HR ute, talked to owner said it took 5 years for rebuild, bloody high quality finish

This ones for you Rob, tubo'd 350 hatchy

That hatchbacks sweet as! The white sandman from the paddock was there to wasn't it???

Yep, this was there, he has a card, gave all mine out today, who was your spy there Rob

That's just plain cool as, and so much sweeter than an over restored one in my opinion.

Glad you played the card game, we've all got a heap of carding to catch Freestyler!!!

I got sent a pic of the white Sandman this morning.

Cheers Rob

That van won best unrestored for the day too. It was amazing to hear comments from people about the vans today, everyone has a story about them but so few are living it now, Torana's and GT's and Chev's are being restored, hopefully vans will be restored as well

HZ Sandmans running WB mirrors too. I like seeing things restored, but sometimes people get a bit excited and "over restore" things.

It's actually a HX, originally Mint Julip, i said it has had a front swap but he said no. Very nice and straight van though

I like the look of this colour scheme.
Looks like a good day was had.

Oh and the question about who doesn't like 57 chevs....... ME!!!!
Can't stand the look of 55 - 57's.

What if the '57 had leopard print seats and a big rear bubble window

mmmmmmmmmmmmm Nah STILL no good.
I put them in the same catagory as FB's - HR's (insert throwing up emoticon)

I'd love a 57! But would prefer a 67 Camaro!

I would love a 57 delivery sitting in my garage,also great pix mate thanks for sharing.

Regards Tony.

I love the pale blue van, very nicely done. The coupe and the hatch look awesome too.

Cheers, Al.

Just one of the minority and proud of it!!!

Probably not the place to admit this..............................but I'll come out of the closet, if I had the choice between a restored Sandman or a 56 Chev Delray..........It'd be the Delray every time!

Cheers Rob

Oh come on Craig, we all have secrets and fetishs, we all know you have an ugly wheel fetish!

What ugly wheels???????
3 sets of Strikers and 1 1/2 sets of GTS rims

You cant hide the past mate, I remember somebody collecting gold rubber honeycomb wheels.............

I still think they look o.k. but unfortunatly not on my van.

They're horrible mate, they dont even look good with a garden hose wrapped around them. I couldn't remember the other horrible wheels you liked ages ago.
