Pre-Summernats car preening
I decided to install cruise control on my V8 XF Panel van and dropped into the auto sparkie. As they say timing is everything. It was around 4ish on a Friday afternoon, and his shop is right next to a workshop that specialises in Falcons and American V8's. Andrew the auto sparkie had been working on the EJ Holden. Obviously people are getting cars ready for Summernats!

Summernats 2012 - Utes
Utes are as Australian as Vegemite, that is they are an Australian invention owned by American corporations... Summernats is a great venue to observe the ute at work and play. Many are entered as show cars and make their way down the burnout track, but most are used to haul the show cars to EPIC and then used as cruisers. It's a great way to circle all day with your mates in the back.
For this photoessay, I've put the US utes at the beginning then the Holdens then the Fords. I know that one tonners and US pickups are mixed in here, but overall - this is a nice look at the Aussie ute.

Summernats 2012 - GM cars that arent Holdens
Todays photoessay is on the venerable General Motors Corporations products (excluding Holdens). There is always a nice showing of 2 and 4 door cars from Chevrolet, Buick, Pontiac etc. Oddly - never that many Corvettes or Camaros. I know there are plenty of these around, maybe they don't get modified too much and therefore don't make it to Summernats entrant status. US readers might note how many 4 door cars there are compared to a US car show. I think we are lucky in this country that 2 and 4 door cars are equally valued.
