Capri - Jacaranda Festival Car Show 2015


This event has been staged for several years and I have attended for the last three years. However, this year’s event was different & much has changed. In previous years the event was widely promoted by the Goodna RSL Club and there was substantial cash prize money on offer. This year the event seems to have come under the control of the Jacaranda Festival & there was little promotion. In fact, I received no emails, no brochures and only realised the event was on last week by doing a web search.  Another big difference was that it was held in a car park whereas in previous years it was on the large oval. The number of cars was really down on previous years and the lack of promotion & prize money were obvious reasons.
There were about 7 Capris lined up. Two white ones from the Club, Ray’s white V6 & my white XL. 5 convertible SA models from a group of enthusiasts (with their own Facebook page) were also displayed. The car park was full with the usual variety of classic, weird & wonderful.  A few highly modified darg cars also turned out. A collection of VW rat rods were way out there. The attached photos show just a few of the cars.
