The display will close at 3.00pm with ALL cars remaining until then. In the interests of public safety NO vehicle may be moved or started during the display.

Again, Toymods, is organising a few 'side' events for the interstate enthusiasts. So to make their trip worthwile, we will be having a dinner and a drag night at WSID. Watch this thread for further details!!

See everyone there...

Hope to see most of you guys there.

[ELEGNT]

the 08 or 07 one is in one of the hot4's ive got i see rolla boy there but cant recognise the rest of the cars, anyone from brisbane thinking of going?

[MR22ZZ]

Well worth the effort to head along to guys.

the last 3 years the event has had coverage in magazines (both Fast Fours and Hot4s last year and previously by Zoom) there has been close to 100 cars for the last 3 years as well, making this one of the largest all Toyota shows in the country.

The show always have a good mix of cars from classics toyotas, both historic examples (standard) and modified to modern cars and even a few outlandish entries (perfect for WTF! awards)

... if you are the sort of person who doesn't want to stand around at a car show all day, this is perfect as well, as the cinema is right nextdoor and a great way to pass the time until the awards are handed out ;)

[httttt]

Cheers for the info. See you all there.

[Rolla Boy]

Will definately be there again...

Hopefully take both cars along...

[Cappuccino]

Spewing!!

I really wanted to go this year but I will be overseas!

I except to see plenty of pics!

[Hiro]

Should be entering both cars this year, nowhere near trophy winners but still wanting to support my club.

[Gab]

i miss this every year...going as a spectator

[Mr De Angelo]

LOL the Police will probably have a good time noting down plates

[Hiro]

Police choice - Best overall as picked by the local boys in blue

LOL the Police will probably have a good time noting down plates

You've obviously never been to a Toymods event then....the cops are always informed beforehand of the event, most of the "illegal" cars at Toyfest arrive on trailers, and nobody acts like a *******, and the cops treat us with a lot of respect.

[Brad-dreama]

Haha yea I might too/

How many near stock ones will be there? I'm down for suppoprting the club.

Maybe ill get a muffler or rims or atleast my stockes p.c'd black!

[¥uri]

it so happens that the place is also the part-time location of some monthly meets

i can see a bunch of `Rollas attending the day ..... to spectate that is =)

Bill/Xoom mate, can we expect you to lead the way??

[addy287]

uni bump B)

[cruzer]

[glamachickybabe]

if i come might enter my car for fun lol

[Madrox]

Still tossing up between supporting ATOC or SRC.

Been a member of src for 4 or 5 years now and we are trying to make a big comeback on to the corolla car scene.

How about i just park in between both clubs. After all, i will have SRC and ATOC stickers both on the stivo.

[MR22ZZ]

just enter the car, why does it need to be associated with a club entry?

IMO it would look out of place with the SRC cars, plus they try to arange the single entry cars according to age/generation anyway so you could end up right next to the SRC cars anyhow.

There really isn't a way to accomodate if there was a ATOC club display as they try to keep the cars grouped together, and because there is a large varience in models represented by ATOC it's not really feasable. It would be kind of like Toymods trying to do a club display of all their cars (even though 1/2 the cars there are Toymods cars anyway).

[Rolla Boy]

Always easier to park by yourself and do what you wanna do...

:)

[MR22ZZ]

Exactly!

Ben hit the nail on the head, and he's done enough shows (both with clubs and on his own) to know what he's talking about. ;)

[cruzer]

so the best idea would be park on ur own i wonder if the ae82 club are goin also will anyone have an tocau stickers cause i wouldnt mind puttin one on me car

[Hiro]

Or just turn up all at the same time and park together :P

[cruzer]

Or just turn up all at the same time and park together :P

yeh that is a good idea lol but like mr2zz said they will try and arrange it by age and gen all like that see ur idea was good but i reckon the event organisers might have a b*tch and moan if we all park together

i think my mate might be goin as well

But has also been said, clubs tend to be focussed around particular age/gen cars anyway (since a large proportion of TOCAU is ZZE/ZRE Corollas, they'd tend to group together anyway). Last year they had most/all of the Supras together, and they tended to belong to the same club anyway. Grouping a club together is different to doing a club display.
