» OCTOBER LONG WEEKEND (3rd)... TOYOTA Fest!
|
Wed, 11 August 2004 14:39

The good news is in...!
The 1st Annual Toymods Show & Shine is all go
The event will be held in the front car park of Reading Cinemas on Parramatta Rd and will open to the public at 9.00am
This is an excellent venue in regards to location, amenities, surrounding shops, and as an added bonus, the site used to be the original Capital Motors! How could you ask for more..?
Sunday, 3rd October is the October long weekend, giving anybody that needs to travel the luxury of have an extra day to unwind after the show.
The show will be a casual affair with FREE entry to all spectators, while entrants will have to pay a $10 entry fee. (This will be going towards any expenses for the day). There are plans to advertise in a selection of publications and if we're lucky we may even get a mention on the radio (96.1FM and 2WS FM). The criteria for entering are minimal... MUST be a Toyota body and be in a presentable state (the only exception is if it's a 'rare/interesting' Toyota being restored/modified).
The Show & Shine will be judged by independent parties with trophies being awarded for a variety of categories (please see the entry form for details). As well as this, there will be a raffle, some small competitions throughout the day, and hopefully some special attractions (one of which may be the mythical white Celica belonging to the Club President ).
We are still on the look out for sponsors for the event... if you/or you know of anyone interested please email the board at board@toymods.org.au
It's all geared to be a great day, with much fun to be had, and I sincerely hope to see Toymods out in force at Reading Cinemas!
WATCH THIS SPACE...
Reading Cinema's are located here:

My car will be there for sure.
I don't think I'll be getting any awards but it'll give me a chance to show off the new engine.
This should be a great day. I hope to see everyone one there so that we can make this an annual affair and have it grow from here.
Bring on all the quality Toyota's.
I'm sure we'll be having some classes that are aimed at recognising quality engineering and mechanical modifications as well as the showy stuff.

I'll be there but i doubt that my celica will be running... maybe i'll trailer it
I have notified both the Twincam.org boys and au.toyotaownwersclub and will soon notify the Sydney Rolla Club.
Im hoping for a big turnout too, so that we can eventually make this the premier Toyota event in Sydney. Hell i'm going to be stopping everyone i see with a presentable Toyota from now until the day to make them come along.
This is going to be sweeeet

AE86Slut - bring it anyway mate! Just hang around for the day even if you dont enter.
By presentable we dont mean SHOW FINISH i would think. Just not a trash heap like Pimp Boy (although it will be there somewhere )
Bring out yer grandad's cressi's too!!

That's a good idea, who knows of any sport truck forums for Australian clubs. I'm sure a few Lolux's would be a cool thing to see.

Is the Dropzone club still around ??
They had some wicked lowlux's there but I heard a rumour the club folded ??
The cars for display need to be tidy, We want it to be a quality display not just a collection of Toyotas. They don't need to be "Show Cars" just presentable. If I can get the front Guard repaired in time my MS65 will be on display.
I encourage other Toyota owners to come along and hang around for the day. It would be great to see the carpark itself well populated with Toyota's as well.

I'm pretty sure Dropzone is defunct Rod.
Wish my car was painted so I could enter it!
Anyone wanna lend me some dollars for a re-spray? I'll pay interest!
I'm sure there must be a few minitruck forums around that could be notified.

For all those considering entering, as some of the board have already stated... by 'presentable' it doesn't have to be show condition - just neat looking. Hell, I'll have mine on show, and it's far from show condition
This is an event for all Toyota owners (Toymods is just the generous host). Like eveyone else, I'd love to see the widest collection of stock and modified Toyotas all on show in the one place.
So who's interested... we've got plenty of car park to fill

Stu (and anyone else in the same boat)... sorry we couldn't give more notice. We had to confirm a venue before we could make it public knowledge. But on the bright side of things, at least you'll be able to book it in for next year. Same time and hopefully same venue for many years to come

another question:
Is this an organised event where we have permission to 'take over' this whole carpark? I can imagine how many cars will turn up and all other cars that will come and see. Would this attract the police and if so what are our privileges (if any)
what if it rains

Not certain on this one Andrew, except that we want it to be BIG. Dav or Rod should be able to give more of an idea on the exact numbers.

Nothing to worry about there, we have full permission from the centre management to use the carpark. I believe it is to be 2 of the 4 outdoor parking bays, but again Dav will be able to clarify that.
Bigworm assures us the weather will be fine.

Another car show??? Yeah, I'll be there for sure... Front bar will be fixed and sprayed, should have some rims by then and might even have the airbags done too ...
Still got a few things to clean up though, bought a new washer bottle today as the old one was kinda stained and looked shit...

Audioslaver,
The event is all above board mate and bar the signing of some paperwork the casual leasing of the car park is all finalised and sorted as is the public liability insurance for the day.
The current intention is to fill the centre 2 bays of the outside parking area directly in fornt of the cinema. We have approval to use all 4 but will only be taking up the space we require.
Dave and I will be assigning spaces once we have the entry forms back. Yes there will be forms so we can make sure we have everything covered for the day

Cars don't have to be registered i believe.
You can't enter on the day from memory, and entry forms will be available through this thread (watch the top post for updates) or by contacted the TOymods Board directly on board@toymods.org.au
For insurance reasons i think we have to have number prior to the day.
AE86drift - you rock dude
Brownster - nice to see your support, starlets are hard to get out there!
