E HUMANS have always made a big deal about celebrating
milestones. Whether it’s a 30th birthday, an AFL player kicking
100 goals or a madman cracking 1000hp – we love to make a
big deal about numbers. So naturally, when our Street Machine
YouTube channel ticked over the 100,000 mark for subscribers,
it gave us the perfect excuse to host a little cars & coffee-style
meet to celebrate.
The choice of venue was simple. The GraysOnline auction house is not
only a generous sponsor of our Carnage web show, but is also the chief
place we find raw material for the show. MX5.7, Mr Dodgey and our $2K
Challenge cars have all found their way to us via Grays auctions, so the
Dandenong branch feels like a second home.
The facility down there is huge, and the GraysOnline team offered us the
use of a massive warehouse that is usually reserved for storage of their
monthly classic car auction goodies. This meant we’d have a large, dry
display area in case the weather turned sour – and a large outdoor space if
the skies were blue. Perfect!
Melbourne Old School Cruisers took care of the logistics, and they crushed
it! We initially thought we might see 300 cars turn up, but when the GraysHE AVILY
