GALLERY: Old cars polished for day in sunshine
That’s what all the owners of their prized cars, caravans, motorbikes and more thought when they ventured to King George’s Park for the annual North Central Vintage Car Club St Arnaud Show and Shine.
YOU couldn’t have asked for a better day to get out and give the old engine a run on Sunday.
That’s what all the owners of their prized cars, caravans, motorbikes and more thought when they ventured to King George’s Park for the annual North Central Vintage Car Club St Arnaud Show and Shine.
There was a buzz of excitement as like-minded engine enthusiests - both young and old (people or cars, you take your pick) - wandered through row after row of vehicles.
And there was something there for everyone, NCVCC president Murray Broughton said.
“If you come to an event like this, you get a bit of everything,” he said.
“We get anything from old vintage motors to more modern ones.
“People are just excited to get out and show off their cars - they love them.”
The NCVCC said they had more than 130 entries on the day, a great turn out in their books.
“It’s great to see so many people enjoying something like this,” Mr Broughton said.
“It’s a chance to see people you probably see once a year at these things,” he said as vehicles from across the region were a magnet of eyes gleaming as radiantly as buffed and polished motors."
Locals and visitors enjoyed viewing the wide variety of vehicles proudly displayed by their owners.
Organisers say they dubbed the day a “success”, with the club sporting 30 of its own vehicles in the show.
The entries came from across the state, including Bendigo, Stawell, Wycheproof and more.
