Thanks Dan - Some great photos!
I would've liked to have gone but unfortunately i had already booked my flights before i knew this was on. Oh well... can't win 'em all!
Looking good Marty... just a quick question is that a Series 1 or 2? It's hard to tell from those photos

Some nice Holdens there
Is the nats all about being as standard/factory/genuine as you can ? apart from afew engine swaps it seems there isn't any "show" cars there you know what I mean no big sounds, fat tubs, big rims, loud interiors -don't get me wrong not having a go. I like to see a 1 owner low kms well looked after prime example of a Holden as anyone else But looking all abit dare I say it "boring" ?

For the main part your actually right Mike lol...
I think (dont hold me to it) that the Nat's are usualy always hosted by Early Holden, Commodore or Enthusiast Clubs which i guess dont too often have heavy modified cars in them...
Modified cars can enter obviously, so they certainly have the chance...
I guess they just cant be bothered turning up lol
I remember at the presentation dinner on the Sunday Night that the Nat's President (or to that effect) made a comment in front of everybody that he didnt exactly like the "modified holdens".....All the original guys were laughing while the few modified owners who were there certainly were not LOL

Excellent photo's ther Dan,Correct about what you said about the modified cars.Not good the Nat's President said that about the modified cars.Tho he did cover his gaff and said that it was his own personal opinion.
There are 2 opitions when you enter.Original or modified,But the cars have to be road worthy(cert't an warrented and rego'd)They had an excellent range frm old to new cars there,But I am really sure there are better cars out there locked up in the garage.
