Set on the lawns of Old Parliament House, Shannons Wheels Expo is the CACTMC's annual charity display day. In 2006, the event attracted more than 600 vintage, veteran, historic, classic, modified cars, commercials, fire engines, radio controlled cars and motor cycles.

If anyone is interested in being part of a Suzuki display then please reply here.

-edit-

Guys 'n' gals I have booked us a tentative spot for 8-10 cars, but I need to confirm this by Friday, so if you are still serious about attending please reply here.

I have also inquired about the quality standard for cars at this event and have been told that it is similar to Marques in the Park. However being set on the lawns of old Parliament house the event tends to attract some very nice cars and a lot of classics. Just thought I would let you know in case it was a concern.

Cheers,
Brayden.

Anyone else? At this stage all the Redline guys from Sydney have pulled out, so I need to call the organiser and adjust the numbers.

Yeah, not a road users license an AKA license (Australian Karting Association).

And yes, no license also puts a damper on my parade if I were to be here, plus, I would be royally fucked up the night before from my sisters 21st party. I would still come along to see you, not like I'm not driving as it is... :oops:

Meh. I don't think quality is an issue. This is more like Marques in the Park - bring whatever you drive that you're proud of. ;)

But I understand if you don't want to bring a half-primered car along.
