It was the Canberra leg of the FORD 100 year anniversery. Luckily I had my digital camera in my car (was too lazy to take it out of the glovebox for about a 2 months) so I took some photos.This photo is of the 31st ford ever made, the Model A and tomorrow (4th August 2003) will be it's 100th birthday:Click HereSome information about the Model A: Click HereA picture of a very sexy coupe. Unfortunatly it would be almost impossible for me to fit in the thing:Click HereA panoramic photo of the Ford 100 years celebration at Gregory's in Canberra:Click HereHires ImageA Blood orange GT-P which is owned by the manager (I think) at Gregory's: Click HereAnother view of the GT-P:Click HereThis is a picture of a Mustang with some history.

It's sort of like that for me. I got there about 10 minutes before the end and only had time to take these photos. During the picture taking my digital camera batteries died on me and I paniced. But luckily there was a grocery store just across the road. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

First I heard was when I logged on here. Was a fluke. I usually drive through Braddon (avoid quite a few traffic lights this way) on my way to the Canberra Centre and luckily I bumped into the display of all the old cars at gregory's.

The others were like me who just happened to bump into it. I saw/heard atleast a dozen people saying on there mobiles "Hey mate they have all sorts of fords here". Oh well, atleast I found parking about 10 metres away Almost forgot to mention. The speaker (I think it was this Trevor bloke) said that they will have another display like this next year. I hope it'll be around summernats 17 time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
