Brum brum

Today the Watsonia Motor Show was held, featuring live music and of course, cars, vintage and new. People, young and old, swarmed to see the shiniest and most prized vehicles pull into their display spaces, engines roaring at a deafening volume.

There were definitely some beauties there, I took over 200 photos (even of the police cars, ambulance and taxis). Some of my favourites were the 1927 Ford Roadster, the Firebug Volkswagen Beetle, the "Astro Boy" (as I call it) and the "Neat" Ford XC.

The good weather seemed to yield more than just glittering cars, as the streets filled with Banyule's retro/rockabilly inspired auto enthusiasts. In all directions, the small shopping district was painted with high heels, full-circle skirts and plenty of tattoos.


Draw 4 were playing as well, which was a lovely treat. Have a nice day.
