Hi,

Well, even though there's only 4 registered users of this site so far and this event is in 3 days' time and everybody already knows about it, I thought I'd still put it up as an example of a non-Bellett event that we'd like included in this section.

Entry forms can be gotten here:

I'm going down in my Bellett with a guy I know with a KE10 Corolla, so we'll be flying the Jap Nostalgia flag hard!

Cheers,

Dave

Hey dudes,

Went to the inaugural Rockin' Victor show with Darren (De Soto Diplomat Plaza!) and Brenton (KE10 Corolla) to fly the Japanese nostalgia flag (well, Brenton and I did).

Here's a nice shot of us on the way - Brenton's KE10 in front and Darren's De Soto leading the (small) pack:

Brenton's KE10 is a nice thing to behold - with pimp-daddy red interior and white dashboard!

I did a few 'modifications' to the Bellett for the show; I carefully cut a couple of pin-up girls out of vinyl, stuck them on and then peeled them off... to lift my paint perfectly in the shape of some saucy babes.

I got my mate Nige to make up a sticker with "Hembra Japonesa Loca" which Alta-Vista translated from "Crazy Japanese Bitch!" and I put that on the back over the naff hi-mount brake light and voila! Instant trophy queen!

I did stick around for the trophies... thought i might get one for best custom paint... I should definitely have got one for best patina, but I don't think they had such a thing, dammit! Actually, Darren's patina was better anyway...

Friend and fellow forum jockey Antus had his TX coupe in the car park but I didn't take a snap! The only other Isuzu-machine there! Whoops sorry dude!


Cheers,

Dave
