These were just some of the american cars at the show,i'll let someone else have a go at posting some of there pics now.:D

[Bluntman]

Nice pics mate, seems to be a bit of a Mopar theme running through there.
I took alot of the same cars pics so I won't bother posting.

My favourite for the day would have to be the GT500 Mustang with the CJ428 number plate.
Some wild cars down there though, I could have taken mine cause there were alot in way worse condition.
My goal though is to have mine finished for Big Als next year.

Yep same as you craig hopefully i'll have ours ready for next year also........maybe!!

[YenkoSC]

Got down there too and I have about 500MB worth of photos :) Shame that alot of the Camaros were ****ed with chrome 'pimp' rims and the likes.

Hey Justin, You are talking about peoples pride and joys, what suits some people doesn't suit others, but calling someones car **** will only get you offside.

Well mate after reading this post I would say all the guys that gave you a great welcome will now think of you in a different light.
After looking at other posts you have put up I can see why you have no idea and thats because you are a kid;)
Stick to school mate and learn respect and hopefully you will get somewhere in life;)

Interesting comment there junior, as most of the Camaro's there had rally wheels :confused:

[67 rs Rhodesy]

Thanks for the pics Paul! My mates got some good pictures and video! So can't wait to check them out tom! Great day :-)

[Ham69]

Lots of 68,s today an some real nice style,s to:)

[TUFF68]

Great event as usual, even better when you they flip you a Joker :D , around 750 cars, good to see quite a few forum members there with their cars, and some without their cars ;) Here's a few more pics......
nice cuda :cool: had a Pink's All Out sticker still stuck on the roll cage from Feb 2007

[Rex]

yeah yeah Marty... I'll be there next year..
Don't be so modest your 57 kicks ass bro.

[YenkoSC]

That 57 is one of the most immaculately restored cars that I have seen. My uncle said it had to be his favourite of the day.

[gke60]

that charger was insane, absolute work of art.....

[QUOTE=TUFF68;32929]Great event as usual, even better when you they flip you a Joker :D

We also got flipped a Joker !!!

It was our first "Poker Run" and we had a ball it was good to see such a great turnout and all of the cars that haven't been seen before it truly was an eye opener.

The cruise itself was a blast and we even managed to stay married with Christine doing an awesome job navigating after only getting us lost once !!!

The organisers and the volunteers doing a great job making it probably the most memorable cruise that I have ever been on :D :D

[67 rs Rhodesy]

Hey chris never got a chance to meet you but your camaros are a work of art... Might be picking your brain at a later stage when I'm ready to modify mine some more if that's ok :-)

Anytime Will, it is about time we organised another get together so I will get onto it as there are a lot of new WA members around

[Twisted67]

Anymore photos out there guys???

Chris if your car is the one in your avatar it was one of my favourites for the day, was it parked next to an equally bright orange Pontiac?
I loved that green, sitting in the sun it stood out like dog balls. The old man wasn't to keen on the colour but I loved it. An awesome looking machine.

I like all types of camaros and other makes, from original to modified. I cant see what the problem is? Does everything have to be original?

A record turnout and a great fun day again. Top muscle was taken out by a 68 z28 ! I was a bit slack with my pics this year as i was too busy gassbaggin and meeting new faces. Here is a few pics that i did get.

Tip for next year:
If you want a shady spot be prepared to get there at at least 9-9.30am.
Perhaps next year we should tee up a gathering of forum members in the same area!:rolleyes:

That is a good idea. I could get a large banner made up with the usmuscle logo on it or something.

Cheers Craig

The orange Pontiac is actually my 78 Camaro also ;) ;)

With the green I wasn't too keen on it originally but it has grown on me, I wanted something different.

[christian]

Amazing turnout,so many nice cars on the day,left around 1.30 and they were still more cars coming in!!
Finally put some faces to names and cars from the forum
Hoping to get my car to the next one,thats the challenge anyway.

DEATH PROOF!!!!:cool:

[Aussiecamaroowner]

Great photos guys. This is the first Big Al's I have missed in a few years either as a participant or spectator as I was in Sydney for Top Gear live. This was meant to have been the deadline for having my car finished, but hope it will be the next one instead. I reckon the idea to get all the usmuscle.com.au cars together is a great idea. Looks like there is a stack of new cars out and about.

[plodge]

here are a few I took, I wont repost pics of cars already posted.

lots of MOPARS....

quite a few newer Mustangs too?

G'day Albert, I was wondering where you were yesterday.Hopefully we will be seeing your car on the road for next years.
:cool: Judging by huge gathering this year i would'nt be surprised if Big Al has to find a bigger park for the next one.

[plodge]

with regards to having a usmuscle.com.au display be aware that means getting there early. I have helped with parking before and it is no easy task and all 700 cars want to park with their mate.......
We have 3-4 guys who get there at 9am and set-up camp, but come 12 its all holds barred as space fill up.

Your not wrong Alan, We went in at 10am and struggled to find a bit of shade. there wes plenty of space in the open,but we all copped the sun for the six hours we were parked up. The causway end was jammed up solid by 1pm. You would definatly want to get a commited crew to be in there at 9am to get a prime piece of real estate.:eek:

[AUSCAMARO]

Vanishing Point?

I was informed during the week that there is a guy in Perth that Has the vehicle from Vanishing Point so you could be right. Apparently he has a number of other vehicles too. Pics will be forwarded in good time.:D

From memory both Vanishing point and Deathproof ended up with the Challengers in a very sad state (although they probably used several cars)

I'd say the original Challenger from Vanishing point would be quite a collector's item though.

I am yet to see the proof myself, so it's only hear say at the moment. I am awaiting the pics.

[Twisted67]

Anyone goin on the cruise tonight down the freeway to mandurah???

and Rex not sure about gregs car(from the above pic) but goin to see it tonight hopefully.his wife and i are old mates from geraldton days.

[Bluntman]

Nope. I was keen but won't be able to get off work on time. 6pm is a little early for me to finish work, get home, grab the car and come back again. Would be good to watch from an overpass though.

Either whay its a veeeery nice car, I hope I'm wrong and does drive it

[Twisted67]

Just got home from the cruise down the freeway to Mandurah.
A great night for it and a fair few cars out n about.
The only problem was i was told they were goin to block the road off down on the main drag of town for us all but they didnt.
Besides that an awesome night and i'll post some pics up in the morning.
=( Not to self make sure you charge camera battery properly next time!!!
But still got a few good ones.

[Bluntman]

Yeah I heard the stretch of cars went for 3kms up the freeway and apart from half a dozen Commonwhores the rest was all chrome. Bit disappointed I missed it.

[67 rs Rhodesy]

Were did you hear about it? Sounds like a decent cruise too! :-)

[Bluntman]

Someone posted up the details on the Mustang Club website, that's the only place I saw it.

[plodge]

I have seen it at Big Als and some other cruises, he does drive it just not that often.

there was no road closure this year as it was the first time to Mandurah.
Previous years had gone to Rockingham and road closures had been going ahead up until last year when the council started playing funny buggers.

The council had members down there last night for a look and they are happy with the turnout and the well behaved nature of the cruise.
Expect this event to be MUCH better next year with road closures and bands etc
