I reckon that guy was on the tele the other day; he dresses as Doc Brown and can configure his DeLorean to how it appeared in the first, second or third movie.
Here are my choice pics from the night!
First up, just to prove that literally ANYTHING and EVERYTHING rocks up; an MG ZT sedan!

This Mercury sedan looked 100% original and, being a 4-door RHD, would have been Australian-assembled.

I'm a big fan of the 'Finnie' Mercedes Benz! The guy in the back was stoked I was taking a photo!

Have to admit; I was surprised to see a Leyland P76 there. Seconds after I took this picture, the empty park next door was taken by a late-model Nissan Stagea! Takes all kinds to make Jaf's Cruise!

You don't see a lot of International Scouts anymore; there were two at this event, a stocky SWB model and an insanely lift-kitted LWB. Sadly they were parked a car apart from each other, so no opportunity for a good photo shoot, unfortunately.

Perhaps one of my favourite cars growing up; a Holden LX Torana SS hatch with all the A9X stuff on it. Can't tell you if it was genuine, but at this cruise, you never know!

Again, another comparison of the massive differences in vehicles; a HQ Monaro GTS sedan next to a VW Beetle. This guy was just checking which end the motor was, I guess.

Another of my favourites growing up was the "Walkinshaw", which as everyone knows is actually called the Holden Commodore SS Group A SV. Yeah. Everyone knows that. There were two there.

This XY Falcon panelvan GT replica was a beauty, although that purple stripe clashes with the black bonnet and tail a bit.

Never liked Mustangs much...this one is angry and hates its owner.

When Holden helped design and build the Elfin MS8 range (Clubman and Streamliner) I assumed that overtly Porsche-like performance at much-less-than-Porsche-money would be a recipe for success! Of course, they forgot about the corners, around which the Porsche would gracefully and efficiently turn, while the Elfins slid, slipped and crashed. Commodores are heavy. Probably for the best; you put the running gear in these go-karts and they're a danger to society!
Having said that, I'd go an MS8 Clubman anyday. But for today, I will have to settle on looking at this cool Streamliner. I've seen less than 4 of either, anywhere.

This Dodge was cool with the vintage-style paint and signage, plus a mis-matched tub.

The sun was getting low and the cars were hard to photograph...especially when they were reflective stainless steel!

The 1959 Chevrolet range are cool and famous for their flat, 'Batmobile'-style fins. I've always loved the Australian-delivered versions though with their little 283ci motors and, best of all, the rear indicators that 'hang' underneath the fins! US-spec cars were able to have red blinkers, but no in Oz, so we got the cool under-fin items!

I grabbed this comparison shot of two different but similar year C3 Corvettes showing how different the rear glass treatment was. I much prefer the earlier glass, pictured on the right.

Shane and Carly Dale's Buick is always cool, lined up here with some very tidy arses!

Did I forget one?
Oh yeah! Bruno hadn't arrived yet and I was scoping for some more Jap-spec love amongst the sea of Aussie and US muscle cars; lucky I found Adrian with a 4AGE-powered KE20!

That is all!
Happy New Year!
Cheers,
