Summernats 2014 - Photos coming soon

Although I visited Summernats 2014, I didn't post any photos at the time. My stats tell me that Summernats posts are very popular, so I will post  a few sets of photos over the next few weeks.

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.

Queanbeyan 2011 Swap meet - American Car Show

As a two day swap meet, the Queanbeyan Swap Meet is a real commitment for the car enthusiast. In my last post I covered day one. This post is of day two - and the cars featured on the main oval are the American Cars. Naturally, many are the same cars that turned up on Saturday, but many US car owners make the trip just for the sunday American Car show. Its also an opportunity to pick up car parts at a better price than yesterday, if you are inclined to haggle (I am).

I am always amazed at the range of car related books and paraphernalia you find at this event. A Corvair manual ? 

You dont see too many sidecars these days. 

Nice lineup of Mustangs on the oval
