If your a big fan of candy paint, huge chrome rims, leather interiors and onscene amounts of speakers & monitors then this was the show for you. Not my usual scene but wanting to get out there and cover something a bit different i made the trip to Rosehill gardens (a fairly prestigeous horse racing facility) for the event.Greeted at the gate by crazy beats from the on site Dj's and many barely dressed promo girls we entered the first hall to see a nice mixture of late model hi-tech turbo cars, old school muscle, euro's and slammed low riders. Im not a big fan of shooting indoor shows due to tightly packed cars, huge crowds n lighting that is not the most desirable but it was good to see that things were laid out nice and open which made my job a lot easier, but damn, i wish i didnt forget the tripod.... Hi ISO n Flash it is then eerrr.
The first car that cought your eye as you entered the hall was this iridescent blue FD RX7
With not a standard part left to see it was a big crowd drawer with its smooth paint, salmon leather interior (def not my preferred colour..) Huge sound install and a seemingly very modified 13BT engine. Not to be out done there was much chrome and pollished parts in the bay too.
Another car representing the rota heads was this ol school R100, although the paint and wheels treatment was given a modern touch..
I am a big fan of the deep red cany paint, i feel while being a very modern choice it still suits the style and shape of the R1 very well. The FR17's definatly look at home on any early model car, but coated in gold offset the body colour nicely. With the bonnet removed you could also get a good look at the neatly displayed, and more than likly very tuff 13BT. Complete with IDA injection setup, Gilmer Drive pulleys and pleanty of pollished componants. Nice & neat, just how we like them!
Show Car Sunday was even the place for some tuff cars from the drag scene. The M&M Racing Solara was on show with its newly finnished makeover. Not sure if im a fan of the new colour scheme but its fkn quick on the track so who cars....
MMMMM Carbon Fibre.........JDM style, mixed with some bling made for an interesting looking S14. Dumped low on big deep dish rims is nothing we havnt seen with a Silvia before, but throw in bright eye watering paint that extends to the detailed wheels and red/white walled tyres and you have something very unique and stylish.
Bike's were also welcome at the show with this detailed and glowing GSXr on display and a few tuff choppers as well.
Air brush work always seems to suit bikes well, no matter what the style sport bike or cruiser... 
There were plenty of RB powered cars on on show in all types of forms, from this group of VL's (reminds me of a packet of skittles..)
to full race prepped ball tearers like the Queen St Gemini and this Candy VK. 
Turbocharged and NA mixing it up..
This Gemini was a standout for me. The combination of colours that seemed to just flow with eachother, extending into the interior was extreamly well done. 
Old VS
New, power figures aside, but i know what one i would be choosing..... 
You can only wonder where people get the money to buy these things, let alone modify them.....
The ultimate cruisers, with a tribute to a legend. E.A.Z.Y
More dead cows than a you could poke a stick at. Moooooooo.
Overall i left the show pretty happy with what i saw, and the modest entry fee was welcomed too, unlike another prominant car show i wont bother naming.....
