The show also sees a large selection of traders, Police, Fire and Rescue vehicles as well as demonstrations and displays of some state of the art equipment used by these departments every day.

A massive list of trophies and prizes are there for the taking so clear your calendar for the 26th of October and head to Kembla Grange Race Course.

All monies raised go to charity and it’s just $25 to enter your car ($30 on the day). For more information, contact Snr Constable Kristy Avnell on 0421 789 600.

Car thieves are scum of the earth and its one thing that I would love to see and that’s compulsory castration for any convicted car thief, and that’s just for starters. Anyway, it seems thieves are getting a little more exotic in their tastes and as outlined in this NINEMSN video, are target the likes of classic Aussie muscle such as GT Falcons and GTS Monaros. Such classics are irreplaceable and become quite worthless here in Oz, but Police believe that the big-dollar classics could be heading overseas where collectors are paying large.

A warning for all those holding classics such as older GT Falcons, Monaros, Toranas, Mustangs and even Brock Commodores, chuck an extra lock on the shed and make sure you have that baseball bat on stand by to sink into the skulls of would be car thieves.

A recent survey has shown that 42 percent of drivers have adjusted their style of driving in a bid to stretch the distance to empty out as far as humanly possible. Gone of the days of random rev-limiter checks and traffic light rallies, drivers are now easing of the loud pedal to save the heartache come fuel-light time which AAMI public affairs manager Geoff Hughes says is great idea.

Just by changing the way they drive, motorists can reduce their fuel consumption and therefore their impact on the environment by as much as 20 per cent," says Geoff.

Simple concepts such as easing off from the lights and not exceeding the speed limit can have a drastic amount to exactly how much those injectors will be working.
