STREET MACHINE

Webby's Jalopy Showdown, Cessnock

FOR OUR MATES UP IN FNQ

One of my faves

 Uraidla is an awesome single-day South Aussie show. Do yourselves a favour Melbournites and consider cruising on over - its well worth it!

Making a statement.

Each year, WA Hot Rod Promotions tries to make the entry on to the show floor a bit of an experience in itself. This year's theme is 'Saturday Night', which is intentionally very broad so that people can make what they will of it when it comes time to create their displays.

Carl Bellesini has captured just about every aspect of a Saturday night you can imagine in this great image which will welcome and guide people onto the show floor. There will also be several images of people doing whatever they do on a Saturday night, which involves their cars of course.

The images were chosen from several submitted by Brian White (www.circlework.com.au), John Harney (www.biante12.com) and myself.

Here's the entry sign.

 

Here's a sample of the lifestyle shots that you might see when you head down to the Hot Rod & Street Machine Spectacular, August 29-30 at the Burswood Dome.

This weekend - Meguiar's MotorEx

MotorEx kicks off at Sydney Showgrounds at 10.00am Saturday morning, with the covers will be pulled off a bunch of new cars at 11.00am. One of the star attractions will be this stunning twin turbo '69 Camaro, created by Kustom City on the Gold Coast. Built for owner Michael Te Ture, the car features extensive body mods - pretty much the only standard panel being the roof and 22x13in rear rims. The donk is based around a 375ci Dart block, with Gale Banks turbos and a pair of PWR liquid-air intercoolers. The car debuted in the raw at MotorEx 2007, but will be all finished for the this year's show.

Santa Maria

 

 

Probably the biggest and best show for kustoms in the US is the annual West Coast Kustoms Cruisin' Nationals, held in Santa Maria, CA each Memorial Day weekend. Here is a sneak preview of this year's event from Japan's Cruisin' magazine. Despite being written in Japanese (there is an English translation sheet provided, but it is a fairly creative transaltion), Cruisin' is one hell of a cool mag, with excellent coverage from all over the world.
