Victorian Hot Rod Show, 2004 at the Royal Exhibition Building, Melbourne. ๐Ÿ

One of those weekends where you did lap after lap and still missed something, rows of hot rods, customs and classics under one of Melbourneโ€™s best backdrops. Proper show vibes.

Were you there in โ€™04, and whatโ€™s the one car you still remember seeing? If youโ€™ve got old photos, drop them in the comments or DM them through, weโ€™d love to feature them. ๐Ÿ“ธ

Part 2 of How to Talk Car is here, and this one belongs entirely to the community.

Big thanks to Jim in Vic for these contributions. ๐Ÿ™Œ

From throwing legs out of bed to going topless, these are the terms that separate the rodders from the rest. Slide through and see how many you already knew.

๐Ÿ’ฌ Got one we missed? Drop your best rodder slang in the comments, we're building the ultimate rodder dictionary and we need your help. ๐Ÿ‘‡

๐Ÿ“– Inspired by How to Talk Car โ€” John Lawlor, 1965 ๐Ÿ”ง Missed Part 1? It's in our feed.

1997 Adelaide Hot Rod & Street Machine Spectacular, and Perthโ€™s Charlie Blogna came in like, โ€œyeah Iโ€™ll just cross the Nullarbor real quickโ€. ๐Ÿ

Worth it too, Charlie took home a swag of trophies, including Top Hot Rod, and helped make WA one of the big stories of the weekend.

Who remembers this show, and what was the best part back then, the showfield, the club stands, or the road trips to get there? Got old pics from Adelaide โ€˜97?

Send them through and we might feature them. ๐Ÿ“ธ

From the archives: the Narrandera Street Rod Nationals souvenir edition cover, back when it cost 40c and the show field was absolutely packed. ๐Ÿ

No filters, no phones in the air, just rods, mates, and a full day of doing laps and talking cars.

Were you at Narrandera, or have you still got an old program like this stashed at home? Drop a pic in the comments or DM it to us, weโ€™d love to share more.

Member of the Month | 78-year-old legend and her โ€™41 Chevy ๐Ÿ

This oneโ€™s got heart. What started as a stock standard 1941 Chevy is now a fully rebuilt hot rod, and itโ€™s still getting driven to as many runs as possible. It was meant to go to her late husband Byron Martiensen, a proud Chevy man and hot rodder who passed in 1999. When the car came up for sale in the early 2000s, she bought it, rodded it, and kept the dream rolling.

Specs for the shed chats: Jag front, 350 Chev, Turbo 350, Commodore rear end, finished in Wheat Beige (VW colour) with dark red vinyl trim. Sheโ€™s taken it on proper trips too, including runs to Croydon and Brisbane, meeting great people and fellow ASRF members along the way.

And her favourite line? He built it for her, she reckons itโ€™s to make up for all the anniversaries he missed. Fair trade. ๐Ÿ˜…

Your 26th ASRF Nationals memories are too good not to share. ๐Ÿ

After our last post, so many of you jumped in with your Bendigo highlights, and honestly, this is what itโ€™s all about.

From the maiden voyage of the โ€œEdmunds Specialโ€, to 7 days camped at the Bendigo Showgrounds, to finally cruising a newly painted, shed-built hot rod with an LS conversionโ€ฆ these are the moments that make the Nationals what they are.

For some, it was the cruising. For others, it was go-to-whoa, the show field, or simply having a hot rod at the Hot Rod Nationals after years of dreaming about it.

Shoutout to Scott Mckenzie, Ray Tully and Bruce Sanders for sharing your memories with us, this is the heart of the ASRF community.

Got another Bendigo memory or photo? Send it through, weโ€™d love to keep sharing them. ๐Ÿ“ธ
