I went to the East Hills Car Show yesterday. It was a picturesque day, the sun was out and that made all the cars on display sparkle.

FMFD I have never seen so many Corvette's and (classic) Mustangs before in my life. I was in heaven.

I also got to see a 1969 Chevelle SS for the very first time.

There were a few Holdens and JDM cars, but mainly muscle cars.

To my disappointment, I didn't see a Chevy Nova or 50s-era Bel Air, however everything else was fine.

There was also a stand selling diecast cars, but nothing that I really wanted.

My Barber from when i was like 12, has a Ford Custom line, he is always at the Car Days, he's always at the All Ford Day as well.

His Daily Drive is a Green HR Holden from the sixties

I saw a couple of classic Monaro's from the 60s there yesterday too. Probably the best car Australia has produced.

Looking good black accents on scoop. Good colour white car doesn't age. I keep tossing up a black roof, definitely mine needs bigger wheels, Simmons black with chrome lip or Hussla have a few I like.

I went with the black roof and rims. That's a Camaro bonnet scoop which is functional and the Walkinshaw W427 front bar.

In the process of getting a Torana hatchback built (Taken forever to find someone)

I want old school flared SS look, with modern driveline (SC) and comforts.

My motivation is A9X II. I'd love the modern interior but I think I'll end up spending the money on driveline, suspension and body. As long as it has electric windows and air-conditioning should be enough lol

Man I remember I used to LOVE the rear lights of the Maserati 3200.

Why don't they do these anymore? So unique :D

3200GT's were one of my favourite cars in the late 90s. A couple of years ago they were cheap AF, like 30k....a mate bought one, auto, blew the box and it cost him an absolute shitload lol

Boats are fine but a shoot done of $$$ for rego and insurance even maintenance. So if your using it maybe 10 times a year.....like people I've known then it's way way too pricey.

Me in Lipari with our new pup...in a bag under my left arm. All scooters here even for the real twisty mountain roads....fun even on a scooter

That's on the main island I come from a smaller island off Sicily called Vulcano.....1200 people.

Thing is as much as I love my Harley's a scooter makes a heap of sense. You see 80 yr Olds zooming about.

And no bike politics in Italy...you've got a scooter, you got a sport bike....but the heat atm is ridiculous.
