Looks like a great weekend was had by all  Nothing better then seeing a heap of AMC/Ramblers together. The cruise/convoy to the event would have been a highlight. Steve I hope to use some of your pulling (I don't mean that in a rude way ) power to see if we can get as many AMC's to the 1st annual AMC Rambler Raid (AMCRR) in Albury next year in March at the Chryslers on the Murray. The Cooly rocks and AMCRR could be made into 2 of the biggest 'must do' AMC shows each year for all us AMC owners which is something those interested in AMC's have been lacking for too long. AMCRR is able to cater for all year AMC's from the 50's up to 1987 and although I certainly don't expect to fill our area in the first few years we have been allocated space that could fit approx 80 to 100 cars on the bank of the lake at the venue. Albury has plenty to do in and around the area and being a central location between Melbourne and Sydney is easy to get to and I think if you are coming from QLD you can drive throught the guts of NSW which doesn't take too long I think? Adelaide is approx 10 hours, Sydney 5 1/2 hours, Melbourne 3 1/2 hours. Loved how, in Cooly, you had them all lined up from earliest to latest. Hope to get my Hornet there in 2015 for sure   Great stuff

It must be just getting too big. Thats a bummer because it'd be great to have every model in attandance. But after all, it is a 50's and 60's rock'n'roll festival.

There are too many car shows out there I reckon which is diluting the impact some of them once had but the 2 best one's, in terms of size and amount of spectators, I can think of in Melbourne are the 2 Shannons Aussie and American shows at Flemington each year. But the Aussie one only allows Aussie built cars which rules out any imported AMC's and at the American one the AMC's seem to get swallowed up by the other big American cars although I reckon this could still be another main AMC event (in fact I think the Rambler club down there holds their Nationals there?). There is another American one at Canberra which I havn't been to yet but might try to check it out next time as it is only about 3 1/2 hours from me. It is fun to attend any car show but it would be good if we could co-ordinate a big AMC turn-out to at least 2 to 3 BIG shows each year that are in different areas to suit as many AMC owners as possible. IE Cooly perfect for northern cars and would have a great atmosphere on the coast and huge amount of spectators, Albury central for Melb and Syd with plenty to do in surrounding areas and also a huge amount of spectators, and a melbourne show for down south. Are there any BIG shows over in WA although traditionally it is very difficult to get people to attend over there no matter what type of car show or race or sport etc? Maybe SthOZ? There has never been a concentrated effort to get as many AMC's as possible together in the one spot regardless of club affiliation, state, types of cars etc so it would be awesome to change that hence why i am trying to get as many cars to AMCRR next year. Another event I was thinking of before I settled on the Chryslers on the Murray was booking a drive-in movie screen/field at Dandenong drive-ins just for AMC's as I sort of know the owner there but, although it would be a fun night, it would only show our cars off to those who already own them and I am along the lines that I would like to show our cars off to all of Australia to show there is more to the car world then Ford, GM and Chrysler  I am pretty excited about the AMCRR just to see a variety of AMC's together in the one spot and the reaction the spectators give to them. Plus to meet a few other AMC guys and girls. Geeez I write a lot       

Ahhh,the Jav!Nice to see "the trifecta".Maybe next year mine might be there to make the quad.At least it will be a (new) different colour.
