Aussie Garage was on the ground at Motorvation 39 at the Perth Motorplex, in association with Summernats, for one of the biggest horsepower-fueled events in the west. This year’s event was even larger than last year, boasting more Elite Tent show cars, expanded cruising opportunities, and impressive displays, plus an increased presence from car clubs across the region.
Kicking Off with the Smooth Cruise
The day started with the Smooth Cruise, featuring @BADQ and @bigmalsworld tearing up the track. Dave wasted no time, rolling into the Motorplex and heading straight into the cruise. Meanwhile, we caught up with Mal for a chat about his YouTube channel and the latest happenings in South Australia—especially as he made the big trek over to Western Australia for the event.
Elite Tent Unveilings & Interviews
Next up, we headed to the Elite Tent, where three standout cars were unveiled, and we had the chance to chat with their owners:
- Rusty’s 1951 Oldsmobile Holiday Deluxe Sedan – This stunning classic features its original interior, motor, and transmission, with only 70,000 miles on the clock. Having been tucked away since 1970, this rare American beauty is a true survivor.
- Jarred’s 1977 Holden Premier – Aussie Garage previously interviewed Jarred and his dad while they were still fine-tuning this full bolt restoration. Seeing it now, with all the final touches complete, was a testament to their hard work.
- Steven’s 2004 WK Holden Statesman – A last-minute build from Perth City Street Machine Club, Steven has put in a serious effort, even learning how to paint from an old pro. While the engine and drivetrain are still stock for now, changes are on the horizon.
Super Cruise Thrills
The day wrapped up in spectacular fashion with the Super Cruise, featuring Bad Q Garage and Distortion Media. Dave and his HQ Holden Monaro put on a show, lighting up the track multiple times and sliding around with pure enthusiasm.
