As referred to yesterday, here’s the rest of the photographs I took at said event. Well, here’s a few and then a link to the gallery where you can enjoy the rest.
Aussie Muscle
This picture I think grabbed all the respective elements of your typical Aussie Muscle car. Dished Slot Mags, White Lettered Tyres and a ’5.8′ badge on the quarter. It belonged to this well kept car; (more…)
So, I went to this little car show event on the Sunday just been. I had initially planned on going just to take photographs but then when I showed up the chap asked if I wanted to put the H230 in the display. Saved me the entry fee ($5) so I figured, hell, why not?
So, here’s a few quick snaps while the rest of the photographs upload;
OH HAI!

I ap0logise for the delayed coverage of the track time at this years OS Nats, I had offered to me a CD of pictures so we had to wait for the NZ Postal system to do it’s thing.

What made me think of this recently was a post on the oldschool.co.nz forums about Simmons Wheels, during said post, the inevitable pictures of Rotary powered vehicles were posted, in particular an Australian RX2. This one;
Australia
This is the exact style I think of whenever the Australian car scene is mentioned. Large wheels that make any attempt at lowering the car essentially redundant. Some shiny paint but nothing excessive done to the exterior, perhaps some ghastly airbrushing but for the most part not all bad externally except for the exposed front mount coolers.
Now, if someone was thinking NZ “Style” the horrific image that comes to my mind, is crap like this;
