AOMC - AHMF National Motoring Heritage Day 2008

Events Across Australia

9:00 AM - 5:00 PM

The AOMC & AHMF present the National Motoring Heritage Day, Sunday 18 May 2008

The National Motoring Heritage Day is an initiative of the Australian Historic Motoring Federation. The AHMF is the National body representing the State peak Motoring groups in all states and territories throughout Australia. The day has been chosen to avoid conflict with major events in Australia. It's the week following Mother's Day!

The objective of the event is to get as many veteran, vintage and classic vehicles on the road at the same time throughout Australia to gain publicity for these vehicles, motoring clubs and the events that are run. The target audience is the public and government - local, state and federal. This publicity will highlight to government that the recreation and hobby vehicle movement is a significant force in the community. The event will enhance your chances of gaining new members to your club. Also, it is an opportunity to highlight some of the civic and social works undertaken by some clubs. Many clubs have a run or static event in their calendar to assist a charity and this is an ideal time to promote that event both for your club and the charity!

Entry for swap sites is still just $4.00. The entry fee for shoppers and lookers is just $2.00.

There are hundreds of sites selling parts for all types of vehicles so if you are looking for that special part or just cant resist a bargain be sure to come along. While the main thrust of the SWAP is to sell or trade car bits there is also some bric-a-brac for sale. The only thing stall holders can't sell is food & drink because the catering is reserved for the Ormiston School P & C tuckshop.

At the 2007 swap there were over 500 sites filling both school ovals selling everything from screws to whole cars; there were also plenty of sites selling bric-a-brac.

Cadillac LaSalle Nationals, SA

Barossa Valley South Australia

11:00 AM - 11:00 AM

Cadillac and LaSalle Nationals - 2008. (28 March - 1 April)

Situated in South Australia’s world renowned and stunning Barossa Valley, this biennial Australian event is the first in our thirty year Cadillac Club history to have entrants confirmed from every State and Territory in Australia including Queensland, New South Wales, the Australian Capital Territory, Victoria, Tasmania, Western Australia & the Northern Territory. On top of this, we have numerous confirmed entrants from the United States, Canada and New Zealand, making this a truly International event. In fact, these Australian Nationals, taking place just after the searing heat of an Australian summer gives way to perfect Autumn weather, are shaping up to be biggest Cadillac gathering ever held outside of the USA.

Event activities include:- a Pebble Beach type car show at the Australian National Motor Museum; a fully catered ‘ladies only” shopping morning during which time the men tour a boutique ale brewery and sample a variety of beers; visit the Greenock Aviation museum and the eerie Whispering Wall Dam; climb to the top of The Big Rocking Horse, Australia’s Biggest Big Thing; see one man’s obsession in collecting Australia’s biggest Lego collection; picnic on the lush lawn’s of one of the country’s finest wineries; drive to the top of the Barossa Valley’s highest point for panoramic photos with our cars; dance with the two great bands booked for Saturday and Sunday's dinners, and lots, lots more, which includes of course, sampling some of the world’s very best wines.

As a part of their preparation for this event, the South Australian Nationals Committee has dedicated itself to ensuring International visitors have ample choice of Cadillacs to undertake the event in, with far more volunteers willing to chauffeur guests than there are visitors - so anyone attending the Nationals from overseas can be assured of outstanding hospitality, as well as any other help and assistance required.
