  Harry and Roger went to a car show in April this year. It was held at the National Steam Centre, a place I've passed by but never went in. And talk about a fascinating place! It's an immersive museum, chock-a-block full of Australian history of all the machinery that made everything run. Dating back to the late 1800's, steam and diesel driven machinery. So this will be a long thread, and an interesting one! 🧵 #WeirdCarMastodon #Carshow #WeirdtractorMastodon

  Back in Aprl this year we took Harry to a show only he was able to enter out of all our cars; Australian Built or Assembled Vehicles. This covers kit cars and CKD kits and also when vehicles were sent out here and local bodies put on them. We used to make and assemble a lot of cars, trucks and buses in Australia. 🧵 #WeirdCarMastodon #Australia #AustralianBuilt #Carshow
