Melbourne HR Swap Meet – Wrap Up

header342

Last month, after much delay, Melbourne finally had its first HR swap meet. The day started off a bit slow with only a few cars turning up but as the afternoon progressed the car park was packed full of AE86s, AE71s and KE70s.  Although there weren’t many who brought truckloads of parts to sell, it was good chance to catch up with old friends as well as some new people. Would like to thank everyone that came down and hope to see you at the next HR meet!

HR Victoria Photoshoot Meet

861

Our first HR Victoria monthly meet of 2009! This month we just planed to have a low key meet which included some beers at one of my favourite cafes called Cafe Garage. Its the only place I know of where you can park your car inside the cafe! Beers flowed and everyone had a blast. Festivities were followed by a photo-shoot at the top of South Melbourne Market with us hoping to catch the skyline of Melbourne as the backdrop. Unfortunately we got there too late and it was to dark to take any good photos, but we did manage to get one decent photo! (Thanks Peter!)

Stay tuned for next months HR Victoria monthly meet which will involve some cruising on one of the twisty roads around Victoria….

Okayama AE86 Festival 2008

After pouring over the photos from last years coverage on the web, I knew then that I simply had to attend this years event. So after saving up all my cash and asking countless people to finally find someone who would come with me on the trip to Japan, I was truly on my way to attend the AE86 Festival in Okayama Circuit and man… WHAT an experience!

Hit the jump for the full story and over 200 photos from the event!
