there was only about 10-15 cars at Mt Gravatt, and then at Yatala there was probably 30-50. I went home after yatala though, didn't want to go much further, so don't know how big it was at the other meeting points.

The blower setup is the same as Stockys. There were about 50+ cars at pottsville. some very impressive cars. The motor in that "roarz" is awsome. Blown and stroked ls1 sounded awsome too.

Not the motor excuse my vagueness(?) It was a long day with 3 kiddies fighting the whole time in the car. Dioxides car looks the part though. I think he's done a brilliant job for $7000. I'm sick today, I feel like poo poo. Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

was a great day - I missed mt gravatt (was running a little late) - caught up at BP yatala - got a few photo's before the battery's were dead (photo's not uploaded yet). By the time we got to mudgee, we had about 50 - 70 cars - some really nice ones getting round. Cruise on down to pottsville was great - I ended up going the scenic route with about 10 other cars, but got there in the end. Should have seen the line up to turn into the Tavern.. lol !! that "30OKW" VL did have an intercooler - was well hidden though in front of the radiator and under the custom radiator panel. The guy driving it seemed to know what he was talking about - but thought the standard ECU was great (i suspect its been retuned somehow though).
