Had already planned it so I'll be there. Look for the person slobbering over any old Alfa.

[Jude Starr]

I'll be there at the BMW Club display, with my little old 1602.

[TimMc]

I'll be one of the judges there for the BMW club. All (well most), bribes excepted.

[Harlequin]

Sounds like fun...

[Orlin]

Hmmm, sounds like you and I need to talk Tim!

[MikeVictor]

Cleaned the car in preparation for Sunday and took it for a photo shoot.

I have a feeling it may have been a labour of love though with the weather forecast looking grim. My cousin wont be chuffed either, it's her wedding day on Saturday.

Great show. Lots of great beemers (50?), including innumerable E30 M3s & highly modded track cars. One beautiful E9 3.0 CS.
I was one of the judges for the car exteriors. Being newer (and very well looked after), Chappy & Matty's cars got the highest scores from me. I didn't get to judge Jude's
Matty cleaned up as the best of the newer models and also won best audio. 'Had a sit in his car & a feel of his knob while he wasn't looking.
Apparently Gazz dropped by too.

Which one, the one near Chappy and my cars or the one with the track cars? I can put the own in touch with you to let you know if you like.

For what the Motorfest is, which is primarily an opportunity to raise money for the Careflight helicopter service, and that all the displays are done on a volunteer basis with club members putting in time and money to display their pride and joy, I reckon it's great.

It could be even bigger and better if more car clubs get involved in the years to come.

[130iguy]

yeh the one next to your 135's..

if you could just ask that would be great, i'm just curious..

i was drooling over the E9 Alpina until i saw the screws holding the front lip on i had a look at the other cars and the quality in my opinion was pretty low, some of the owners of the E-Types and a few of the other british cars should be ashamed of themselves

[ol'mate]

Over all I thought the show was pretty good, the quality probably wasn’t as sharp as that found out at lakeside for the Macleans Bridge show a couple of months ago, but it was still a good show. Motorfest isn’t a Concourse Delegance more a fund raiser.

Motorfest seems to be more a more family atmosphere, the gold coin entry certainly helped get numbers through the gate as it was packed when I got there. I thought they were defiantly giving the markets a good crack this year, seemed to be a heap of stalls.
I was really hoping to see a Ferrari 458 there as I followed one all the way from the Valley to Eagle Farm but sadly not the case.
First sighting of a 458 on Aussie roads and fark me it looked amazing!! defiantly needed a cold shower afterwards.
Hats off you BMW guys too variety of cars was excellent.

Well done guys for volunteering your time. Matty's car looked a treat. Said hello.

I went to see the e9 Alpina and I wasn't disappointed. Okay it's not a concourse restoration but for what looks to be a regular driver it was pretty good. I think I can count on one hand how many of those I've seen on the road. The Lancia Aurelias were gorgeous, a lovely 1974 Alfa 2000GTV, good and bad E-types, a bristol. Not much else there for me, esp' the lack of Alfas. No Porsches, Ferraris, Maseratis, Lambos ( except the one at the BMW display ) and no 2002 Tii - bugger. I gather it was a kind of bring what you have sort of event but I was surprised at the poor quality of the paint work on many so called show standard cars.
Still, good to see the cars in general.

I think you're thinking of Jude's 1602, and yes the E9 was nice to look at.
