Living in a small community like ours has advantages , especially when you talk about cars . We live in a little valley called the Fingal Valley . In this valley my home town is blessed with a group of people who enjoy cars . one of them is the local museum curator who is a car nut but specialises on British cars and old Oldsmobiles too . He called the museum Cranks and Tinkerers . A group of blokes and girls would meet up regularly for a counter meal at the pub to talk about cars . All of them had something pretty special from Impala's , Continental's, Capri's , Galaxy's , GT's , Rovers , all sorts . About 13 years ago they decided it was about time to have a try at running a Car Show on Faulkners Green . The next year the found about 30 cars turned up the weekend before the June Long weekend .
Now there are about 300 car entries . The HSV mob come along , the FPV Tickford XR crew , other Tasmanian Car Clubs venture along , lots of people , lots of stalls , food , beverages and now it commands the Sunday of the Long Weekend to co-inside with other local festival events, Shannons are a big sponsor along with other car services .
The best bit is that each year you attend , you bump into people from previous years and others of us have created new friendships from the Annual Car Show . Here's a bit of drone footage shot from another local from this year's event only last week . More friendships and renewed ones made no doubt .I certainly did .
