This will be an informal cruise to Australia's leading Rock and Roll Nostalgia Retro Event, which includes a Car Show - pre-1974 ONLY – bands, street performers and market stalls selling everything retro! Once we reach Coolangatta/Tweed Heads we'll disperse and explore Wintersun, i.e. Find a park, go our separate ways and head home when you're exhausted. Due to the huge crowds this event attracts it isn't practical to stay together as a group.

Our meeting point will be BP/Maccas Yatala at 7.30am for 8.00 departure, as entertainment starts around 9.00am, with the Street Parade at 9.45. To confirm your participation and cruise arrangements, contact: Steve (Gangster) 3822 7170 or 0418 965 335.

Below is a brief description of Wintersun - go to this website for more http://www.wintersun.org.au/

Wintersun 2009 starts on Friday 29th May and ends with the huge Best of Wintersun Concert on Monday 8th June. Wintersun is Australia's leading annual Retro Nostalgia Festival. Featuring almost 1500 Hot Rods, Custom and Classic Cars, more than 100 bands and performers, dancing, movies, and competitions. The festival is held in the border coastal towns of Coolangatta and Tweed Heads on the New South Wales & Queensland border. Many events are free, some are in the streets while others are in the local clubs and shopping centres.

we'll be there the whole weekend in the chevy! havnt missed it 4 16 yrs

Definitely interested. I have a few friends who will come along too.

please nominate whether you prefer Sat or Sun (it is on the Queens Birthday long weekend) and we'll go the day that most nominate, or organise runs both days

Would be good to drive down together - at this stage not sure which day suits the friends, they are saying they will go with what is organised.

Cheers
Annette

Hi,

Looks like Battle Cruiser will do a Saturday run and then on to Caboolture Regional Car Show on the Sunday, see you there

Confirming we'll definitely go SATURDAY. It looks the best day, with a Street Parade at 9.45. It'll have to be an early departure from Yatala, but anyone not keen to get up can always cruise down at their leisure, or even go on Sunday.

Could everyone coming please wear club shirt or cap - doesn't hurt to advertise!

Looking forward to seeing a good roll-up.

Well we'll be looking for any PT's we can spot when we're down there

BUT

we'll be working our butts off.... at the the Cooloongatta Senior Citizen's Centre (Gerrard St) on the Sunday arvo of June 7th (2-6pm)

Actually before that, we'll be at the Cooloongatta Tweed Heads Golf Club the week before (Sat May 30th).

We'll also try to walk around sharing the sights (when we can) so see y'all there!

we're booked into a hotel down there so we'll be there friday arvo til monday!

and just some cool cars

Totally agree about the quality of cars - knew I could rely on you for some pics! Unfortunately our girls got weary in the crowd before we saw everything - must spend a whole weekend there some year.

And what a romantic setting for 2 car nuts to tie the knot. Congrats Rach, if you stumble across this thread.

It must have been the phantom Toowoomba-tagger. Haha. Yep it was me Jelly Bean who tagged the black PT with white walls. Funny thing is - he's from Toowoomba too. Toowoomba is quickly becoming the PT capital of Australia tee hee. Before long, we'll be having Wintersun here.
