Many thanks to the 22 cars that made the meet. Alot travelled great distances to be at our 30th meet at The Halfway House. I'll post some pictures up over the next couple of days.

Apologies to those I missed including Slydog who turned up with his 260.

Those that were there early would have seen 6 AC Cobra's, 1 Dodge Viper,
1 Monaro and 1 Corvette. What awsome sounds.
