This year there was a few changes to this iconic car show, including new event management. Peter Crisp and Jodie Samson Ran had run this massive event for the past sixteen years, but decided it was time to take a back seat so they could just enjoy the car show. They handed the reins over to Andrew Pool and Shannyn Condon and what a great job the newbies did filling of shoes of the experienced organisers. This was the first event Andrew and Shannyn have organised. Queensland Street Car had some of our people on the ground that thoroughly enjoyed the show and we have heard some fantastic feedback from a huge amount of people; and the police were happy with the organisation of the event and everyone’s behaviour. story and pics by Jaimen Lake
You know I’ve always been a Holden fan. I am a man that appreciates all vehicles but I’ve never got the feeling of wanting to own a Ford. Now I gotta tell you, ever since Ford released the XR6 Turbo I’ve been having urges and cars like Lee Dalton’s XR6 Turbo utility are really not helping. I think I might just have to swap camp. Of course it’s hard not to like this car no matter which side of the fence you’re on. Just look at the way the colour compliments the smooth yet sporty lines and how those wheels suit the car perfectly 4L turbocharged straight six donk is pretty tough from the factory but Lee’s motor is twice as tough with the modifications almost doubling the horsepower and providing the occupants with a ride that they wouldn’t normally get with a stock Falcon. It is a real credit to Elite Automotive who built the car. . . . .Photos by www.autoshotz.com.au
