Mr Excited & Friends. Classic Cars WorldWide 🌏 Holden Day Coffee and Cars at the York On Lilydale got off to a soggy start but thankfully the rain took the hint and moved on. Before long the cars were rolling in, filling the car park to capacity and proving that a little wet weather isn’t enough to keep Holden enthusiasts at home.
One thing Mr Excited’s events never disappoint on is the atmosphere. There’s always a fantastic family-friendly vibe with plenty of laughs, great conversations and people coming together to admire some incredible machinery. Whether you were catching up with mates or making a few new ones there was something for everyone.
Congratulations to all of the trophy winners on the day. There was certainly no shortage of deserving cars on display. I was also pretty stoked to have my own car SKITZN take home the Best 2000s award. It’s always a great feeling to be recognised amongst such a high-quality lineup and it’s a nice reminder that all those hours in the garage (and the excuses for buying “just one more part”) is worth it.
✖️Picking a favourite car of the day was no easy task, but one that kept drawing me back was a stunning 1969 Holden GTS Coupe finished in silver with a striking red interior. The contrast between the two colours was spot on, while the immaculate engine bay was every bit as impressive as the rest of the car. Add in the big-dish rear wheels, and the whole package had serious presence.
The coupe looked like it had just rolled straight off the pages of a magazine absolutely immaculate and a perfect example of why these classics continue to turn heads wherever they go
