Motor Ex Photos

[Cal]

Excuse the poor quality photos. They had crappy lighting there so it was hard to take good photos with my sh1t camera.

Some huge dollar machines.....












Thinking of going back and bidding on this tomorrow

Nice work Cal

I haven't bought car magazines or gone to big car shows for years,
Jeez, the standard has lifted

[Cal]

True, Thommo. I hadn't been to a top end car show like this in years.

The quality, and amount of money blown on these things, was mind blowing. Though I wonder how many actually get driven......




Nearly forgot...........a big thanks to Stewart (Parisian62) for letting me tag along to the show

The quality, and amount of money blown on these things, was mind blowing. Though I wonder how many actually get driven......

But who really cares, its events like this that lift the profile of our hobby and give us good press (what little it may be in the mainstream media). I've always enjoyed checking out big dollar show cars. Nothing quite like looking for ideas to use for stuff I do. Big dollar or no dollar indoor shows usally have it all (well should). We only get the VHRA show here and I try not to miss it. Seems though Motorex really gets the best from oz all in one place. And boy is the standard high!!!

well i know one top show car there that get driven hard the 32 with all the flames on it had it at the summernats last year hanging skids

The 'Airborne 8' will be an daily driver when it's rego'ed..Blue's just waiting on some side windows to arrive (was promised before the show!!) and some finishing up the wiring and it'll be on the streets.
And don't think it'll be a fair weather driver either..Blue drove his V8 Volkswagen everywhere!
He uses his car's as advertising for his T-shirt & trophy business.

Scotty.

True, I know of a few of the cars there that get driven. Though if you owned for example the candy Camaro with a reputed 50 grand paintjob, you'd be too scared to drive it in case a spec of dust fell on it

[gazrat]
