Between all the colour themes.. You’ll never know what you will see next, it could be a JDM icon like a Skyline GT-R, a Monaro Monster Burnout Car, could be a sleek Exotic like a Ferrari, a Veteran/Vintage Hot Rod; or anything in between!
PLUS! As it’s our 10 year anniversary, we have the Paramount Hall with the Shannons Poster car Hall of Fame! This will have all 10 cars that have been on the Wintertime Snow & Shine Posters for the last 10 years with loads of FREE Racing Simulators, FREE pinball machines & FREE Kids Games!
And just announced! We have a line up of MOVIE TRIBUTE cars from Fast & Furious, Gone in 60 secs, KITT from Knight Rider! Rare sights!
In addition, there will be both national and SA small businesses amongst all the cars on display to connect with and support in our Trade show! As well as Free kids under 5 entry, Free entertainment for all ages, and multiple charitable causes that we are supporting in different ways!

The committee has allowed us to cater sausage sizzles at their events and put the spotlight on the Variety Bash, and our team. Thank you to James and his entire team for your support, friendship, professionalism and commitment to your organisation.
