Crikey! August already! I missed a few months in there somewhere.
Anyway, first weekend in Aug, we headed on over the sandstone curtain into downtown Richmond (near Sydney NSW) for the 21st All Holden Day. Took the Monaro (what else?) and payed $45 for the parking experience. I should have really done a bit more research on car shows. If we had pre-paid, it would have only set us back $33 and we would have scored some Holden Event gear too.
Without rambling on and on, the day turned out alright with sunny skys, a huge line up of shmicky cars (some 700 odd) and lots of people having a cruisey Sunday. We 45 degreed the HQ in the line-up and did the rounds. Its always interesting to look over a car or two like your own. There was also several that I would like to see sitting in my own shed. The day comemorated the 50th anniversary of the FE Holden (Holdens 1966 Model). There was alot of shades of blue back then!.
& heres a few more car pics from the day.
1973 HQ GTS Monaro (with the 350 Chev motor). The sports version of the HQ Monaros. Colours reflect the many cool hues available in the day.
1973 HQ LS Monaro (253 motor). Just like ours but green and oh sooo smooooth!
1953 FJ Holden Ute. Very rigged up with matching caravan and canopy. I walked around this set-up a few times so it must have stood out.
Another angle on the FJ touring pack. Slimline canopy and spats. He/ she's a lucky P plater.
This red thing was really a head turner amoungst all the originals and emphiphises the nature of the all-holden-day where everything goes as long as it has Holden heritage. This started life as a FC sedan and with a huge amount of cutting and shutting, very nice retriming and a subtle paint job to match the new V8. Alot of work!
