In the modifiers world, not much exposure is welcomed by the main stream public. We get bad publicity for either street racing or “hooning”, but sometimes people welcome a gathering of cars. This was the case on Saturday 18th April, 2009, when approximately 550 cars gathered at the Blacktown Drive-In cinemas in Sydney’s west for a screening of the much anticipated new edition in the Fast and Furious saga.

We will not bore you with details of the movie as such, as every reader of this magazine has no doubt seen the film numerous times. But what is interesting, is the conglomeration of various types of cars and people that attended. It was not only a line up of imports and street cruisers, but many custom cars could be seen. Old school hot rods, Chevrolet Impalas, and restored classics were scattered around the area. In a surprise move, not many “extreme” show cars were present but this could have been due to the likelihood of rain.
