There's a low brow art show, heaps of trade vendors, live music and plenty of horse power to drool over. You can enter your hot rod, American muscle, street machine, comp car, resto, custom or classic on the day and trophies will be awarded to the top ten.The show is catered and there's also a bar serving alcohol on the day however there is a strict no BYO policy in place.

There's free parking on Milne Street and better yet, the event is ASRF sanctioned! (SA-117-02-2012). There's plenty on offer and its a fantastic family day out. It's also a great way to get out and about to enjoy the spring sunshine but there is little shade provided so bring your parasol or sunscreen!

I wonder if we'll take The Tank or the Merc?
