It's the month for car shows it seems!

TCCAV is going to try and get a good Toyota presence at this show too. The good news is this one is open to any year of car, so guys with cars a bit more modern can also come along.

AE86DC guys can join our group, or set up your own group if you prefer.

Meet point will be the front carpark of Parkmore Shopping Centre, on Cheltenham Rd, Keysborough, 9am. McDonalds is across the road for those wanting a breakfast hit, and its easy enough to get to off the Eastlink, and about 5 mins to the venue.

We will then head to the venue about 9.15am

Well any day that is about Japanese cars is a good one! Today made me realise just how good our show was on grass so I hope we can do the same for Classic Japan 2012.

Thanks for all the Toyota people who came out and supported the show today. Were it not for us and the Datsun/Nissan people that would have been a very sad little show.

This MR2 won an award for best mid-engined car - and it was very nicely presented

I loved the interior - is it factory?

I am with Parrot. This Corona is amazing! Bloke has owned it for 40 years, and lives 150m away from Mel's parents place!

There were some cool rotaries there but they left before I got to photography them.

Shame not many other makes besides Toyota, Datsun/Nissan and the Mightyboys really supported this. Hopefully we can get them out of the wordwork later in the year.
