Geoff Routledge has just asked me to post that he has secured a member of Hotwheels very original crew to judge the show and shine, these guys were responsible for the introduction of brands such as CW, JMC, VDC & GT into the country they along with Tim March will be providing prizes.

Really great day, very impressed with the turnout. Super hard to judge the Show & Shine. So many old faces showed up too, some I hadn't seen in 25+ years... Plenty of new faces to chat to also. This should really be an annual event...

hi matt

as andy said it was great to meet you and go through your photo/magazine collection,they brought

the memories flooding back,bit thanks to hot wheels for a fantastic day,it would be great to make it an annual event :daumenhoch:

Post by: moochalargo on August 28, 2011, 01:34 PM
Great idea Matt. We could do with an old school event down on the south coast! I'm sure it would be really popular! Lots of guys asking how to get in to the old school again! Great judging by yourself and Tim a job I would not like with all the stunning bikes there! Great day!

Post by: dubstar on August 28, 2011, 09:31 PM
I did pop in for a short time expecting to go back later on, but with a 4 year old and a 1 and a half year old , days never go to plan. There were some stunning bikes there and lots of new talent coming through on track. just wish  my boy was more interested in the bikes and not where we can buy an ice cream from!!!!
Will try to make more time to introduce myself next time!.
