In the closing weeks of 2018 Adelaide hosts a spectacular Auto Expo!
In the late afternoon after Auto Expo, the Zippel guys hit the streets of Adelaide for a Cruise!
Not an event, but a car dealership which has some amazing cars on consigment.
European Cars only at Glenelg! And some crackers rolled up, too!
A new venue for Coffee & Chome. Bigger, better - more cars, more people!
Hot Rods (and a few others) at the Birdwood Mill
Classic Holdens hit the bIrdwood Mill!
I missed the last Hot Rod show in the streets of Palmer, so thought I'd pop up for a look this year!
Another quick trip into the Birdwood Museum - and some new exhibits!
Another Bay to Birdwood - I was just a spectator this time, so got to take lots of pictures!
Concours d’Lemons is an annual car show that celebrates "good examples of bad cars and bad examples of good cars," showcasing quirky and often poorly made vehicles.
First stop on our Road Trip was the Bathurst Race Circuit, where they have a Motor Racing Museum. It was a little disappointing really.. quite a few cars, but not laid out well - it felt unloved.
I didn't know it at the time, but Gosford was about to close, so I was very lucky to have visited. What a place it was!
I was really fortunate in having the opportunity to photograph the AMAZING Lost in the 50's collection just a few days before they closed the doors for ever.. What a loss!
Our last Museum visit on the Road trip! Some nice and interesting cars, but lighting made it very difficult to photograph.
Good pal Neil and I hit the road to check out some Car Museums! Read the Blog
Back to Mile End for another fantastic Coffee ‘n’ Chrome!!
One of the regular Coffee & Chrome groups decided to try out a new venue, the streets of Port Adelaide, or “The Port”. The Port is one of Adelaide’s older areas, and is a mix of Industrial, Retail and Residential buildings. It’s mostly deserted on the weekends, but not last weekend, when it came to life with the sounds and sights of Coffee ‘n’ Chrome!!
Another visit to the Mile End HomeMaker Center for Coffee & Chrome - and even more cars than before!
The HP crew gathered at Mile End for a cruise
A monthly Coffee & Cars event at Blackwood, South Australia. Parking was NOT in abundance, a lot of cars drove through and kept going :(
A monthly Coffee & Chrome event at Mile End, South Australia. I didn't see much Coffee, but plenty of cars out, for sure - it was packed!
I spent a few wonderful hours at the Barossa's Carl Lindner Collection, taking photos of their amazing Jaguars!
A stop at Vili's Cafe de Wheels resulted in a nice Hot Chocolate and meeting a bunch of guys assembling for an American Muscle Cruise!
As I arrived at Vili's Cafe de Wheels, Holdens started appearing! You don't see many 48-215's or FJ's around these days, and there were some lovely ones here!
A trip to Victor Harbour to photograph the British Classics!
Jaguar National Rally 2018 The Jaguar National Rally was held in South Australia this year. One day had most of the entrants displaying their cars at the amazing National Motor Museum in Birdwood.
The South Australian Vintage and Veteran Car Club hosted a free display of some fabulous vehicles in the Adelaide Parklands. I popped along and took a few pictures - Enjoy!
