I just got back from our extended QLD holiday, of which Wintersun was far and away the highlight!
Best car show I've been to!

It was great to meet Scotty, Pete (spaceace), Tony and Fi on Saturday, chilling by the Sputzwagen - I'm loving the new grill!


And now, in true David Letterman style: "Ladeezngennelmen I have today's Top 12 list, and today's category - paroharo's Top 12 rides at Wintersun 2010."

Number 12


Number 11


Number 10




Number 9 (and my wife's favourite)


Number 8




Number 7 (the only shot I could get without people in the way )


Number 6 - what a shapely rear end on this one




Number 5




Number 4




Number 3 - what a stunner, anyone familiar with this car?




Number 2






"And the Number 1 ride in paroharo's Top 12..."
Number 1 (once again the best I could do without people in the way)





I've got plenty more where that came from if anyone's interested?

stick 'em up i'm still seeing pics of cars i didn't see and i was there for 3 full days and nights, yor No 4 is my No 1, No 5 is my 2, No 9 i think 3 and then it's just FAR to hard to make choices from there, did you see the orange/white buick wagon that would have to be in there for me

Great to meet you to, mate..sorry I was so buggered by that time of the arvo..but I'm an old(er) bloke!
That EK you like is Bill Rawling's cruiser, he's a good mate of our own Paul Kelly (smoothcustoms) that's the reason Bill's car has alot of Smooth Customs bits on it..plus Paul's in bumper indicators..all hand made!

I've still got about 100 odd photos to upload on this site..just been a bit busy stuffing around at home .
Betcha "Radelaide" is a bit cooler in temperature than Coolagatta!! BRRRR

Scotty.

ITS SHMEAGAIN Love that fc wag

Bring on the photos need to get up to some of your car shows , love Buicks , might steal one of the flashes for the ute.

Ok here's some more of my pics, ran out of time to post them all, see how I go tomorrow..
I had the same dramas that others mentioned in the main wintersun post, people standing in the way of shots, the wife getting tired/bored, so didn't get shots of all the cars I would have liked, but still got 200+ so that's not a bad effort. I've selected a few of the best...

Thursday arvo








Tough tourer


Simply could not get a shot of the front of this one, even on the following days..






This EJ had a camper seat, hence the plate BED43 - bed for three, obviously an open minded optimist!






Hmm.. interesting. Still, went for a theme and stuck to it, right down to the purple shag pile adorning the interior


Saturday arvo




Big motah




The Sputzwagen




Offers between $10-20K








Toothy

Good call RB, similar for me.

Haro thanks for the pics.

more...

Good to see an SA FB there!








Is this guy related to Axeman? Scotty? Classic..


Some of the Beatniks (I think? is this the same exclusive Beatniks that is some sort of worldwide club for kool kats only?? or am I barking mad)














The Grand Wizard of DeSoto?








Cool


This one is somewhere in Ratbox's top 4, did I read somewhere that this has a stinker motor?




Proof that a lowering job, red steelies and wide whites make just about anything look cool








more tomorrow...

it is, but of late there rules and regs of membership seems to have slipped

Outstanding Pics mate.
I drove my big 59 Desoto up there from melbourne one year. A rain cloud turned up at 11.00am and rained full pelt on the Saturday and stayed until 3.00pm Sunday. Ruined the whole event. Perfect weather all the way there and home..
I suppose I got the Friday night cruise in..
Paul

Still more..







Getting dark so a bit blurry..


Really disappointed with this shot cos it's a kool paintjob and a '39 like my wife's uncle's..


Sunday
Found these two parked in the backstreets..




This sweet Caddy stole Scotty's power park!






Another tough FC V8 wagon















Love the colour of this!


last lot tomorrow...

Some nice cars there.


This one was featured on Rodders Life tonight.

Apparently only one of its kind in Oz
