For me this year was good, unfortunately less rods but there were a heap of lustrous so it canceled out to be a good thing

After you've seen them, you've really gotta hear them too! I was in S.O.P just before they started to leave, and the sound of most was 100%!

Good photos!

Great pics, thanks.

It's good to see there are still people (craftsmen) who really modify a car instead of the usual "hey, I put a catback and a K&N filter on my car, cool eh?"

There were more cars there but mostly late model stuff that doesn't interest me so I didn't get any photos and none of my mates are in to them either so perhaps some one else got some and can post them up

In the mean time here's a few more i copied from Ozrodders
