	When I was 12 or 13ish, I pleaded with Ma and Pa to take me to this. Dad wasn't interested in cars in the slightest, and mum certainly wasn't going to endure her ever present travel sickness for 3 hours just to go and stare at some old cars in a field. To my old mans credit, he accepted my offer to forfeit that years birthday and chrimbo presents if he took me. We went, it was a hot sunny day, and I took some photos with a camera that took film! Enjoy . . . . At the end of the day there was a bit of a parade; And some sort of reversing contest; I went home happy

	Top content. I'm looking forward to seeing these colours and graphics appear when the nostalgia kicks in properly, the world needs more turquoise and pink cars.

	Great pics, its a shame, but there doesn't seem to be many people making hot rod style cars like that with big back wheels and roof chops.

	happy days,the reversing contest involved the driver being blindfolded and given directions which way to go by the passenger into various boxes as quickly as possible.all with spectators around the course with no safety barriers!I actually won a braun electric shaver driving my v8 pop (yay)!!
	too many toys..too little time...and usually too little money.

	Cool snaps Strangely enough I was just reading a Street Machine mag, with that blown & chopped Anglia on the front cover.

	There's a good few there that I remember seeing in SM and CC back in the day. That chopped Anglia certainly stands out in my memory.

	Thanks for sharing these. I reckon this must have been '91 or '92 as the photos don't really tally with the shots I've got from the '93 NSRA summer nats there, which was my first car show in my own car.
	Follow your dreams or you might as well be a vegetable.

	This thread has made me want to get the Street Machine line up at The Gathering sorted even more ... but ... it was hard going previously, lots of cars had been rebuilt or lost or just no one knew where the people were any more

You're welcome The first Street Machine I ever bought was the one with the Coco Connection Camaro on the cover. I still have it, and every other copy I bought too. And now I've bought a scanner (primarily to show you good people these pics), I 'spose I could post up any requests people have . . . .

That's about the most comprehensive list of what's still around and what isn't.
