Jimmy Shine and Billy Gibbons were over here for a number of scheduled appearances at various locations. They do a sit down and chat with a compere who gets them to talk about how their careers developed in hot rodding and music. I went to one back in 2016 and it was "OK" but a bit drawn out but Billy did do some songs solo and then a meet and greet. Well this one did not finish well apparently as the audiences at a couple of shows got upset as Billy was not doing any music and said he wasn't expecting to. So the last show in Brisbane was cancelled and Billy flew home. Jimmy Shine and his daughter stayed to host the previously arranged show held at the Sandstone Point Hotel on Sunday 14th. It was a stinking hot day with the temperature at 39 degrees C(100F) but still probably 400 cars rolled in with a mixture of hot rods,classics,customs and some odd ball stuff(no photos) Jimmy was giving out 20 awards for various cars. If you had a green sticker on your headlight you were a winner. I was surprised to spot a sticker on the roadster but more was to come. (See later posts on this thread)
Now my surprise was to come. I was told to wait at the end of the line in the awards presentation and lo and behold I got the autographed Jimmy Shine/Billy Gibbons Award of Excellence for Top Car of the Show
Thanks for warming up chilly January 48...its a balmy -24C or -11.2F this way. Lots of cool rides and congratulations on your award. To bad about Billy he probably just wanted to have a Hotrod day.
Finished dinner and the grandchildren have gone home. Noot sure if I have got these right but here are some of the award winners.
Aside from the odd Holden,Ute or weird looking Falcon, these pics could have been taken at any car show in the U.S.! You guys down under really get it! Love your roadster, more pics please.
Great pics of outstanding cars. Congrats on your win, your car is fantastic. How about some more pics of your car.
