Car Gathering Down Under
I haven't posted any photos for ages, probably about two years. The Goat was off the road waiting for a heart transplant. It went well and we are back into attending shows again. This one was on the outskirts of the CBD of Melbourne in a suburb called St Kilda. Bonus of this show was that it was right next to an old historic amusement park. You can see the old wooden roller coaster in some of the photos. I like this type of show as they close off a few streets and the crowd get really up and close.

Great pics and some very nice cars. Firebirds look popular and a very cool backdrop for a show.

What is the gold car off to the lower left with only the nose showing? It looks like it has a '88 - '96 Grand Prix fender on it. Looks really cool. Got anymore photos of it?

Gold car... That's a Holden Calais (model: VL). Awesome car, I had one in burgundy.

I'd like to know more. Pics too if anyone has any. So far, it looks like it has fenders similiar to a GP, headlamps similiar to an Olds 88 and has an Olds name.

Now that's an awesome car show. Your 67 looks great too. You guys even have some your own awesome cars built right there in Australia.
But seeing that Bugatti and the GT 40 is unreal. Especially out at a car show. Here it would have to be a very special show to see them attend. And I don't believe there's a Bugatti that old anywhere near here.

Yep, I was blown away with that Bugatti just sitting there in the middle of the street with people just wandering around it.

Chief, They are Nissan 3.0ltr six cylinders. Some turbos (Garret t3 I think). Terrific engine. I'll see if I can find a pic of the one i had. They were also available in a 304ci v8.

Thanks Chief. The 304 was a Holden engine. The blue VL is not mine... wish it was! Yes it had an LS engine dropped into it. I need to find a photo of my old VL, then I'll post it. Meanwhile, I'm the Aussie car lover at the show with an American classic (nothing wrong with that!)! Here is a pic of 2 blokes trying to work out how I select a gear with my RIGHT hand!

They can really hot up some of those turbo engines. Some guys get real serious with them. Have a look at this.
