Cruised in to Deville’s Pad yesterday to soak up some gasoline, smoke, sun & liquids. Did y’all go?

More leopard-print than a Johnny Weissmuller film! More smoke than a Marlboro convention! More throbbing engines than Daytona Beach!

Last year’s Hot Rods to Hell was one hotdiggity afternoon: Hot Rods & Kustoms, tiki cocktails, tattoos, kickass music, barbers, babes, vintage wares, art & kiddies fun… in one venue.
Forget cutting the lawn… cut a path to Deville’s Pad tomorrow.

Thunderbird & Indian Pow-Wow!

Cranksters’ Hot Summer Nights was a fab event, attracting more than double last year’s entries. Great music from Harry Deluxe and Marco & The Rhythm Kings had them jostling for dancefloor space – Paul plans to double it next year!

The weather was mild – perfect for a family outing & picnic.

See some gorgeous Thunderbirds (there were 8 altogether), Indian bikes, Fords & other notables in the gallery here.

Christmas came & went in a flash, but don’t worry – there are still some upcoming surprises for you Tbirders! Just after New Year (allowing for recovery time), Cranksters’ Hot Summer Nights Event will be held again at Herne Hill, on the verdant expanse of the Swan Athletics Club Oval.

Bring the family for a twilight Cruise-In Event, with food & drinks available, plus music & kids’ entertainment. Only $10 per car. Last year we had 4 Thunderbirds, see some pics here.

A great turn-out for this year’s Breakfast Meet – despite one or two sore heads from early Christmas celebrating. We upgraded to directional signage this year (thanks to Sign-On), and even allowed a Lincoln or two to join in.
See the morning’s events in the Technicolour gallery. And stay tuned for news on a Drive-In Cruise in the New Year (sign up for updates in the sidebar & never miss a trick!).
