Well ToyotaFest has been and gone for another year. And this year it was hot… literally!

136 Toyota’s of all models were on show for the day. The Toy Mods Car Club is surprised every year with the variance in models that come out every year for the festival. Last year there were many classic Celica’s in attendance and a solid showing from the new Toyota 86 owners. This year the Crown’s, Corolla’s were up on numbers, and even a really solid showing from the MR2 guys which is always good to see.

Several clubs came along in force, including the Radrollaz crew, Canberra Celica Club, Toyota Car Club, and the MR2 Club which saw great variety of cars for the crowd to admire.

“This year Bendix came on board as main trophy sponsor and also supplied the pens and goodies in the entrants goodie bags, which was great as there was no excuse for not having a pen for filling in the entrants choice form!” – Simon (Toy Mods Events Coordinator)
