Sydney Car Festival 5-7 March

[cheese]

I went to the Sydney Car festival at Rosehill today. I didn't think much of it.

Very few trader stalls (3 selling sun glasses?)and only the PPG XR on display.

Maybe the dyno and burnouts could make it worthwhile, but I thought for $25 it was a waste of time.

What do you think.

I thought it was an awesome day. I was there from 9am till 6pm.

There is a lot of seriously awesome cars there. When I see the engineering that go into them, it realy amazes me.

Bit of a dissapointment that the driving events got cancelled due to the rain, but the burnouts were great while they were on.

Some of the figures coming out the dyno was amazing!! Steve Santos was there with his immaculate VL (the one that caught fire in the dyno cell at the nats). He is qualifying as the highest powered so far. Over 700HP !!

Only 1 BA went on the dyno (and I had to drag him there, and force him to do it). 266 rwhp out of a BA XR8 with K&N filter and chip. Not bad, but I think he wanted more (dont we all)

I will be back down there tomorrow... charging my camera now... Want to get HEAPS more pics.

P.S - Did you see the twin turbo capri at the Extreme stand? How neat is that!!!, and there is a purple Holden (not sure what model - its an old one) with a LS1 in it.... that car is very impressive!!
