Friday night...lets go check out Munchies, Acacia Ridge.

 You will have to excuse the pics from tonight...I had my dunces' hat on, and coul;dn't figure out the correct flash settings..old school look on this EH..love it!
 There was probably about 300 cars there, maybe more...surprising on a cold Fri night
 Always interesting to go along to these nights...must have been 1000 or so people...and I knew about 10 of them!
 Model A uses one of OZ RODS 'glass bodies..
 Unlike other shows, there are as many new cars as oldies..
 with lots of US influence..
 to go along with classic aussie icons...
 bad picks from the darker area of the lot, but this was full of lowrider chevs..
 in da weeds!.....wish this pic was brighter..
 Thanks for a security light to show off this pick me up..





 Back to the brighter end...this is my kinda MOPAR!
 Looks a lot like the S55 Marauder I brought in a few years ago, but this was a Park Lane.
 Old Holdens never go out of fashion..
 Late engine swap into an XJ6 Jag...fitted better than the original..
 Umm...that's different..
 Cool MGA was a pretty rare car...I had never seen one of these engines before...
 As usual..Rock n Roll Reg had his Spinner out for the night....lame pic of my tudor lurking behind..
Ha..photo-bombed again...good to see Les W back from his US trip...nice evening, think we'll go along more often.....now...to decide, do we also do Masters North Lakes tomorrow night??

"oh what a wonderful time we had, the day we went to Bribie".........(remember the wayne-poo song)

 My June mid-week rod run for retirees was to beautiful Bribie Island, many thanks to Graham Cowan for helping with the destination.....
 And here is both..Spinnaker Sound mariner on this side of the bridge first, then across the other side to the Bribie Island Pub...
 The roll up was fantastic...cars waiting for me everywhere when we first got to the BP.
 First destination was to the Marina, where host Brian Waters from Vintage Tyre Sales threw open his shop/come museum/car collection for all to see.
 Lots of regulars, and some new northside retirees as well!



 Kevs new 34 made the long haul....all of 5 miles!..didn't even open the thermostat probably!!
 as usual, Pauls ASRF winning Top Hot Rod was checked out over n over..

 Final count for the run was 35 cars..best yet!!

 Now here's a rare one..Ford retractable hartop was open for all to see.
 This looked like a small space, but it was overflowing with cool cars and parts


 Largest collection of tyre ash-trays I have ever seen..


  Brian Waters had catered for the group with coffee and cakes as well, without knowing how many would turn up, so thank you for letting us call by..
 Ample parking at the pub, with a great view back to the water of Pumicestone Passage




 We took up all the end space for dining...over 50 seated, not a bad roll up for a mid week run!
