Toyota Fest 2011, Sunday 3rd October



ToyotaFest is an annual event aimed at promoting and celebrating the enthusiasm of Toyota Owners by providing an event where they can come together, display their pride and joy and chat with like minded individuals.



You don’t have to be part of a car club or own a Show car to enter Toyotafest. If your Toyota is well presented, rare or just something you think other Toyota Enthusiasts would like to look at then we want you there.



Toyotafest is run by the Toymods Car club who noticed a distinct lack of Toyota focused Show n Shine style events that catered to the wider Toyota Community, so after looking at the related automotive calendar the first ToyotaFest was held on Sunday 3rd of October 2004 and has been held on the Sunday of the October long weekend ever since.



Since its commencement ToyotaFest has grown to become the largest all Toyota car show held in NSW (possibly Australia) and we look forward to its continued growth in years to come.



There are Trophy classes to cover everything from Show cars to classic originals, Modifeds to commercials, competition vehicles and latest model releases. There is no model Toyota we don’t want to see and we don’t care what running gear is hiding under the bonnet either.





We look forward to seeing you at the show.

Toyota Fest 2011





ToyotaFest is an annual event aimed at promoting and celebrating the enthusiasm of Toyota Owners by providing an event where they can come together, display their pride and joy and chat with like minded individuals.

Once a year some of the biggest Australian Toyota clubs get together and celebrates the joys of owning a Toyota. Held over the Labour day long weekend (Sunday 2nd of October) in Sydney, Castle Hill . Home Hub Hills kindly donated their ground level parking for the show. Its always nice to see businesses take interest and support car culture.







Being brought up on Toyotas myself, this was my kind of event. My family has been Toyota Pro forever, owning Corollas, Camrys, Echos, AE86s, Taragos, Hiluxs, Landcruisers and the list goes on and on. I’ve personally have owned 2 ae82 corollas, 1 ae92 corolla, 3 Ae86s, and now I currently own a AW11 MR2 and only just now broken the mold with a BMW E30.













One of my many favorite and uber rare cars at the event was this mint 70′s Sprinter with JDM plates to match.



The most perfect SW20 . If had a SW20 this would be it!



The Gorilla industries WTA Supra took home the award for Best Engineered

Labour day 3rd of October – Circuit Club’s Track Day



Instead of feeling sorry for myself, for not getting the track hack ready in time. I thought I would make the trip down to Wakefield and have a play(learn) with the camera. Out of the 600 bad photos, I ended up with some half decent ones. Main Lesson for the day was learning how to pan smoothly and utilize the shutter speed.

These are some of my best shots from yesterday. Rest can be seen in the gallery below. Feel free to leave us a comment on how I can improve my photos and technique.
