The organizers have secured a larger venue for this year's event and are hoping to attract as many cars as possible. 100% of proceeds go towards the Isabella and Marcus Fund for research into paediatric brain stem tumours. Come along and support a good cause, it's always a good family day.

I have it on good authority that Peter and Debbie Gray will be bringing their burnout monsters for the day.

Excellent news for the Isabella and Marcus Fund, it's shaping up to be a great day. Really looking forward to this one.

Ha !! shoulda read the Forum and not last Friday's Herald Sun for the date.
Like many others, turned up to find the wrong date had been entered in the paper.
Doh !...hope to make it, sounds like a great event.

From what I hear Tony and Daniela spent the day turning people around at the venue on Sunday. Don't know how the Herald-Sun managed to get it wrong but I hope most people are like you and come back in March. It's going to be a great day and all involved in organizing the event have put in a lot of hard work to raise money for such a worthy cause. I'd hate to see it ruined by a printing error that was out of their control. I'll be helping out on the day and hope to see plenty of Mustang owners there.

Well you've got a little over 3 weeks so get cracking.

Even if it's not ready, come down for a look. They have room for around 450 cars and are hoping to fill it.

29 and sunny is the forecast for the day, anyone here bringing their car?

70BOSS · « **Reply #7 on:** February 26, 2013, 09:15:53 pm »

Yes, I will be there, I think MYSADL is also.

I will prob be there for a look without the car, waiting on bonnet to be painted and radiator to be modified.

Thanks to those who turned up. Big turnout of 550 cars helped the guys raise over $21,000 for a very worthy cause.

Congratulations, money raised for a good cause and some nice cars on display. Looks like you guys south of the border are getting plenty of good weather to enjoy your cars - unlike up here where we are getting plenty of rain.

As can be seen in the photos it was indeed a great day. I think it was terrific to see so many offering to put in and offer their time and money to raise funds for this cause. One example ; the young girl selling coffees from her

van was run off her feet but smiled away & chatted as she worked feverishly putting every dollar she collected towards the fund raiser.

WELL DONE

Further, as we left, event organisers and helpers lined the drive out and thanked everyone for coming and supporting the day, hoping to see us back next year....well done to them i say.

Yes we have been getting plenty of sunshine and what an absolute cracker of a day yesterday was. The event is run by a great bunch of people who are extremely grateful to every person who came. Last year saw 120 cars in a much smaller venue so it was great to see how much it has grown in such a short time. They'll be looking into another venue for next year as public parking and access to the oval was very limited.
