Car Expo, THIS Sunday November 15, Toowoomba Showgrounds

[jeb]

I know some people involved in organising the 'Drive 4 Life' expo so I thought I would post some of their information to help them out.

Attention all car enthusiasts and community members who want to save lives!

SUNDAY NOVEMBER 15. TOOWOOMBA SHOWGROUNDS. 'DRIVE 4 LIFE' EXPO.

The 'Drive 4 Life' Expo will be raising community awareness about a Driver Training Facility for the Toowoomba community.

'Drive 4 Life' is the 'driving force' behind the building of this Facility and we feature a number of people from different parts of the community who are working together to achieve common goals.

A massive show and shine / display will be staged to benefit the entire community and we want you to be a part of it - with your car or without a car. Either way you can still support this event.

As good as the show and shine will be, the 'Drive 4 Life' / HFM Autostyling SUPERCRUISE inside the showgrounds arena will be even better!

Yep, it is one thing to see cars looking shiny in a static display but it is something else for everyone to hear the cars roar to life and to see them on the move.
To hear a unified roar of cars rolling together and to see the reactions of the crowds of people looking at your car during the Supercruise sounds to us like one of the best events you could ever hope to be a part of. It will be a unified roar for an awesome cause.

We need the entire community to support this event. So far this concept and the expo have been extremely well received. Everyone loves the idea and plenty of people are jumping on board to help and support it. Will you?

We have so much more to tell you but if you want to know more please phone

So it starts off as a show n shine and then a cruise is that right?

[jeb]

wont miss this for the world

I thought I would just remind everyone that the Drive 4 Life Car Expo is on THIS Sunday November 15 at the Toowomba Showgrounds.
The organisers have told me that the numbers of attendees are looking good, but for an event like this, there can never be enough.
So even if you don't think your car is a 'Show Car' maybe just bring your car out and park it in the Street Car Display section and then take it for a drive in the HFM Autostyling Supercruise.
The organisers are really keen to get some imports out there as there will be plenty of younger people there and they are all mad keen on imports.
If you can help this community event it would be really appreciated.

[tabletennisman]

i'll be there too if the rain holds off.

[C8LYN]

There's rain forecast for the weekend. As nice as it is, it needs to bugger off for events like this! Should be a good day.

[fyndrift_32]

i will be going to this, should be a good day. juzzo bring the laurel! the 32 has zip ties holding the bumper but im still putting it in

[ben.m]

organise a skid section!!

[jeb]

I saw some of your questions so I asked the organisers for a program.
They said the day is looking to even bigger then they could have expected already so it should be one of the best car events that Toowoomba has ever seen.
I know I cant wait for it.
There won't be a skid section this time, but that is the point of having the facility built in the future - so we can have somewhere to go and have some legal fun.

x2

Whats the go with the legalities of driving around on the cruise. Does the car have to be fully Road worthy condition, are un-rego'd cars allowed, if so Ill try and get the party bus there?

[jeb]

As the Showgrounds is private property the organisers should let you on the cruise as long as the vehicles are safe.
Because you will not actually be driving your cars on the street inside the showgrounds arena, you wont be breaking any road rules.
The party bus sounds interesting.

[nato83]

BRING THE PARTY BUS!!!!

[keseventy]

party bus needed. and rain. so i can "acidently" "slide" out of control...
