[niceboy1275]

Sunday just gone was the 50th minishow in melbourne.
We decided after 2009's effort (we took 9 of our cars) we'd only take 2. So Noddy and lil egg made their debut..
Cleaned up ready to go!

oooh, is the Shorty road legal over there ? plus whats up with its headlights ? from the piccy looks like they are full of something ;D

[niceboy1275]

No, unfortunately shortys can't be registered in australia. Surprisingly, our laws are a lot tougher here than in the uk/europe. Even when i imported my 88 rover mini, the rear seatbelts don't meet our standards and had to be changed, the car had to be fitted with child seat restraint bolts on the rear parcel shelf, and side impact bars had to be fabricated into the doors before I could get it registered. Even then it had to be registered in south australia before I could register it in victoria as victorian laws are even tougher. And Holly, the headlights on the shorty are full of orange and white M&M's. The owner then brings bags of M&Ms and hands them out to all the kids

Thanks for including the two ADO16's. The Vanden Plas Princess and what appears to be an Austin 1300. Maybe even a GT?
Love the Elfs, Mini with a boot, always have. It must be that grill, I think.
All the cars look fabulous.
