MX-5 Club of NSW Concours d’ Elegance and Show & Shine

Our annual Concours d’ Elegance and Show & Shine will be held this year at The Mean Fiddler Pub, Cnr Windsor & Commercial Rd, Rouse Hill.
We will take pride of place in a reserved area at the front of the car park. All MX-5s will be able to be view by the public and hopefully attract fans and some new members to our Club.

All NA, NB and NC categories from stock to modified and customised are catered for, so check out the Club website for handy guides to the preparation of your car and details of how the judging takes place.
Don’t be put off because you have an old or high mileage MX-5 because there are allowances for these vehicles, so everyone stands a chance of picking up an award.

The details are:

When: Sunday 16th November 2008

Where: The Mean Fiddler Pub Cnr Windsor & Commercial Rd, Rouse Hill

Time: From 8:30 for a 9.30 start.

RSVP: Is required no later than Sunday 9th November 2008.

The entry forms have been e-mailed to Members or you can get them from the Events section on the Club site.
Send your RSVP to socialsec@mx5.com.au or Fax to 9484 9893 or post to PO Box 402 Beecroft NSW 2119.

I’m often asked what is the difference between Concours d’ Elegance and Show & Shine.
In the Concours class the car is judged on the condition and cleanliness of the exterior, interior, under bonnet and boot.
In the Show & Shine class only the exterior and interior are judged. We don’t look under the bonnet and in the boot.

Hey CB I think you mean Sunday 16th November, 2008 not 2007. Just thought I'd be smart. Hope your bung leg is on the mend

Fixed.

"Bung" leg has enabled me to work in short periods cleaning the car.
I class sitting on the ground with the leg stretched out as "leg elevated" don't you?

There was plenty of track dust that needed cleaning off. Amazing how dust gets into everything.

One thing I miss from the NA & NB was the ability to polish all the alloy bits. ie Cam cover etc. The NC's plastic and apart from a wipe over there's not much else you can do.

Remember it's this Sunday people. Get yourself to the Mean Fiddler and see the sun shining off all the clean MX-5s

Can I come have a look see even if I am not in the club?

Have had the five for six years now, just never got around to it!!

You are welcome to come along and have a look, meet up with a great bunch of people and find by the end of the day you might just like to join up and come along to one of our many events. Look forward to meeting you. Cheers

It was a great turnout and lots of fun!!... Some very flashy 5's there!!

Here's a few shots from today.

A great day with around 40 MX-5s being judged and another 10 or so that came for a look.

Hopefully I'll feel my car is ready when next year rolls around. Might have to volunteer for judging too to see what little tips and tricks I can pick up from other cars for the year after

Great club day. We need more social gatherings like that.

Look at me wishing i still had my yellow car
