Shannons Wheels Expo - Sunday 25 March 2012

Post by ridgey didge »

The FE-HR Holden Owners Club of the ACT invites any Holden enthusiast to join us at the 30th anniversary of Shannons Wheels Expo on Sunday 25 March 2012, on the lawns of Old Parliament House Canberra from 10:00 am to 3:00pm.

The display for the FE-HR HOC will be at the usual place between the Lake and King Edward Terrace, with entry from Mall Row West. Head for Questacon and ask marshalls for direction if required. Please note drip trays are required for all vehicles attending the display.

Come and enjoy a family picnic day surrounded by veteran, vintage, classic and modern vehicles in one of the best panoramic views in Canberra. You will be able to see the newly restored club trailer and club members will be happy to have a chat about your car and theirs.

Hope to see you there.

Cheers
David

Please note the following change of venue!!!!

Shannon's Wheels 2012 event has been relocated to Thoroughbred Park, Randwick Road, Mitchell.
There are concerns that the recent rain will have softened the grounds at Old Parliament House and damage may be sustained.

Cheers

Welll it turned out to be a glorious day, and the new location was ecellent - lots of space and lots of cars. Sadly only 2 1/2 FB/EKs, but here they are.

This is the FE-HR Holden Owners Club of the ACT club trailer following its recent (and nearly completed) restoration.

And this van was only there for a short time, and I didn't find it's owner to get any detials. The bonnet wasn't opened, so no photos in there, but the number plate says it all.

And it was nice to meet Danny (aka OldMan's Lacky on this forum) and to hear a little about Pa's ute - see thread of the same name.

See you at Berrima for Grey Pride on 20 May 2012.

Cheers

Yer it was a bit lite on the FB/EK side of things- but plenty of early Holdens. :thumbsup:
Huge rang of cars was a great day out. Any more pic's to share didn't have a camera :?:

Cheers Robbo :)

Thanks David. It was good to catch up with you too, even if the conversation revolved around what I needed :wink: Sorry if I was a bit self-absorbed.

Robbo - my son and I took a few photos. They're not fantastic, as they were taken from his IPod and my IPad. Apologies for the last couple of photos ... couldn't resist 8)

The EH ute and the EH racer were both for sale. I could get phone numbers for anyone interested.
