Magazine November 2016 7 All Holden day Toowoomba Car Show Sunday 2nd October 2016 The Toowoomba all Holden Day was another great success once again. While our numbers this year were down on previous years, our display topped all other clubs and I for one thought our display made the show. We had over half the people that attended from the club stay at Glenfield’s Motor inn on the Saturday, which meant we were all able to have our cars all cleaned and tucked away by 2pm, and that’s when the trouble started (mainly from the girls of course) and yes you guessed it alcohol was involved !! On Saturday night we all managed to pull ourselves together and head over to Fire & Ice, where the food and alcohol continued, great meals. At 5.45am Sunday morning Les & Peter led the crew away from Redbank Plains so we could all meet up in one of the side streets in Toowoomba at 7am so we could all enter the grounds in model order. The number of cars in our Club display was a bit down on previous years with having only 26 cars on display, but in saying that it was still very impressive taking up the length of the field and HSV flags flying. Here are some of the results from the weekends show.
