In Sight: Roll-In At Fitted Friday IV

On the face of it, travelling to the other side of the planet seems a bit much for a car show.

But when you consider the contribution that the Australian car scene makes to global car culture in spite of some of the most extreme adversity known to any enthusiast, it seems that they deserve some proper recognition.

You may already be familiar with Fitted Friday on Speedhunters; Blake covered last year’s event – and in style too. Essentially, it’s a car show with the feel of a meet that is trying to unite the diverse Australian car enthusiast community.

Australians are a passionate bunch when it comes to their cars, and it goes far beyond the famous Ford and GM Holden rivalry that you’re probably be aware of. The scene is hugely varied and features some of the best builds that I’ve personally ever seen.

Of course, there are styles that whilst you might not personally like, you still have to respect and appreciate too. You’re constantly challenged to question your own tastes; to push to examine fine details and discover more.

As the sun set on Friday, the night was only beginning for the fourth instalment of the Fitted Friday series. What would be unusual for me is that I wouldn’t be covering the event from a typical Speedhunting perspective. Instead, I’d been invited to judge cars which belonged to hundreds of owners whom I didn’t know or had never met previously in a country that I had never been to before. Unchartered territory it very much was.

Stay tuned for lots more from Sydney…

How to modify a car Australian style

1. Paint it some crazy bright color (usually hot pink or sapphire blue)
2. Fit "Fully Sick" chrome wheels that are a minimum of 4" too big
3. "Fully Pimp" tan or white leather interior (+10 points if ruffles in said leather)

BONUS!!!
Add contrasting color painted on graphics, usually stripes

hypodermic There will be bad taste every where you go mate, as an Australian I rarely see cars like this. This car is listed in the Uk http://www.barryboys.co.uk/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=26797.

B to the Ruce

hypodermic Cars like that were out of trend 10 years ago.

hypodermic Some of the stuff isn't to my taste, but the workmanship and dedication is impressive. I think a lot might surprise you though.

difflocked_mees Maybe? Shooting out here all this week so let's see what happens :)

hypodermic You should see the lancer Mighty Car Mods picked up

I am looking forward to your next posts Paddy! As an Australian am very happy to see some recognition on our carscene! Some crazy builds down here (not all everyone's taste but cool nevertheless).
