I didn't get home from drinking until 6am. I decided it would be best if I left the car at home and continued to sleep.

Just got home! Great drive guys, it was good to put faces to forum names. Weather changed pretty quick. Got home just before the rain.
Looking forward to the next one!

What a great day, and a huge lot of toys donated!! Well done to Spoolman, Whoosha and everyone else involved with the organising and logistics.
It was a great turnout and everyone had a great time. Congratulations to all the trophy winners, all very well deserved. Thanks also to all the sponsors for the fantastic raffle prizes. It's a great event and can't wait till next year.

Thanks to all who attended the Vic cruise this year. A little cold and windy before it got warm and windy but a great turnout.
Thanks to all of the sponsors who supported this event, Iveco for making the HUGE van available and to Spooly, Kim, Geez Louise, Gary, Theo and their respective other halves for helping to make the event a success. Less pleasing was the late arrival of the Salvos but that's a minor thing that we'll deal with before next year comes around. Now some pics: The cars .... .. did I say the van was HUGE Christmas Puppy.... ... the presents Cheers Russ

We had a pretty good turn out in SA. Didn't manage to get too many photos, but will put up what I did manage to get soon. Weather was perfect. Had some very nice cars turn up which made the judging difficult. Thanks to all the sponsors and the people who helped out today. Big thanks to Spooly for the raffle prizes an trophys.

The Christmas spirit is alive and well here at AFF, the aim of the day is toys for Charity and thanks to your generous support it was a huge success, we had so many toys we ended up taking the van and unloading it ourselves in Geelong as the Salvo van wasn’t big enough to load the toys into.
Many thanks to all those who attended, we raised approximately $600 from the show n shine and raffle ticket sales, well done to everyone it’s a fantastic effort. Many more people to thank for their support and assistance today and along the way, our State event organisers, in S.A Rob, Dave in NSW, our ticket sellers Cath & Kim (yes we have our own Cath & Kim) and the Larson Family, Show N Shine Judges Theo, Gary, Whoosha. Van driver Whoosha & Gary, Food & Sausage Queen Coll & Mrs Whoosha. All our sponsors who are listed in my 1st post lots of support with Cash and goods. Behind the scenes & here at AFF Russ, GT, Wolus & Dave all work to make this place and the events what they are. Organiser’s choice award was awarded to the Coupe Club for their ongoing efforts and support of this event. And GT will soon announce the winner from THE ULTIMATE RACE EXPERIENCE Wow how good will this be, thank-you to V8 Race, http://www.v8race.com/landing1.asp Hope to see you all next year for a bigger and more user friendly location.
