Default Marong Car Show August 2009
Had the pleasure of checking out the Marong car show (situated about 15km from Bendigo) yesterday (30th Aug 09), snapped a ton of interesting photos that I thought I'd share with all. The event was run by the Federation of Veteran Vintage & Classic Vehicle Clubs, excellent turnout of trucks, tractors, stationary engines, classic, vintage and modified cars and rods and vintage bikes. Unfortunately all prospective entrant cars between myself and friends were sorta outta action (My EH having dizzy troubles: sorted yesterday though.... XP outta fuel, Statesman outta reg, Davo's HQ Coupe harmonic balancer loose, his Chevy Luv ute in the thick of an engine transplant (Isuzu Piazza EFI with T3/T4 turbo) Ben's HT Monaro in a million pieces... again.... anyway, definately take one or more cars and bikes next year....

Yeah, I only found out Saturday night, if I had known a little earlier I would have pushed a little harder to get the EH or the XP sorted to enter. I missed last year (but apparently the weather was horrid and it cleared out early), the year prior I entered th XP (only completed it the day before....)

While the basic Ford Six was code named Barra, the Turbo version clearly deserved its very own moniker – again enter Gordon Barfield.
We asked him if the engine had actually been called “Seagull” and how that came about.
“Actually it was just call “Gull”, because I named it that. Because we knew it was going to poo on everything”.

Was quite a few cars ago now but I built that blue XY GT replica with the silver stripe. Excellent pics of a wide range, nice work.

Well done, very nice replica indeed, even had some old bloke telling me as I was taking pics that she was the genuine article and worth over $250K.... not knowing the true story, I simply said it's hard to pick them these days (better to indulge the illusion)... hope you sold it for that much lol
