Why not avail yourself of our poor exchange rate and come visit Australia and take in the 2024 Early Ford V8 Nationals to be help at Echuca, Victoria.
Currently your US$1 would buy approximately A$1.60.
Australia is a great place to visit at this time of year.
Start planning now, you will not be disappointed.

Hmmm? This gives me something to think about, My son and I were talking about the possibility of going to Australia next year.

Bill, You won't be disappointed visiting Australia. Unlike the USA, most of the population live along the east coast. You could fly to Melbourne, hire a car and attend the V8 Nationals then continue heading north to Sydney then up to Brisbane. From there you could travel further north to see the Great Barrier Reef. With our poor exchange rate, you get yourself a very cheap holiday. Regards Mercman <><

Thanks for the itinerary, sounds like a nice trip. I actually have many friends down under that I have never met, with my EFV8 and Plym Owners association I for sure would not be a stranger.. I also sold my '57 T-Bird. a harvest gold colored car that we had owned for 25 years to a man in Australia.

I'd love to come to Australia for that National Meet! I was there many years ago while aboard one of Uncle Sams US Navy Destroyers on an R&R cruise before returning to the states.

Trevor,
I'm thinking of returning to Australia in 2025, so I'll be sure to time it for a National Meet.

Dave, Australian Early Ford V8 National Meets are only held every 2 years, shared by the 4 Australian Early Ford V8 Clubs. Following the 2024 event, organized by the Victorian RG151, the next one will be in 2026 hosted by the South Australia Early Ford V8 Club - RG94. Regards Trevor <><

You're killing me. I'd love to attend, but can only make one big V8 event a year. I really want to go to the Central National at the Foundation Museum.

Welcome to Echuca, Home for Australian 2024 Early Ford V8 Nationals

After 50 plus years in the hobby, I still have not gotten anyone to X-plain this conundrum this to me?

How can ONE single car show, held in ONE special place, ONCE a year, by ONE single club,be referred to in the PLURAL? i.e

"Australian 2024 Early Ford V8 Nationals"

Inquiring minds want to know.

Lawson, There are four Regional Groups of The Early Ford V8 Club of America in Australia. They are:- RG94 - South Australia. RG143 - New South Wales. RG151- Victoria and RG 157 - Queensland.
Because these Regional Groups are so spread out, it was decided back in 1988 at the first V8 Nationals to hold a V8 National Event every two years, arranged and sponsored by each Regional Group on a rotating basis. In 2022, the New South Wales Regional Group organised the Event. Next year, Victoria Regional Group is hosting the V8 Nationals in 2024 and the city chosen for this event is Echuca. Entrants from all Eastern States drive to these events. There was a comprehensive coverage of the 2022 V8 Nationals in the March/April 2023 issue of V8 Times.
We refer to as the Nationals as we know it includes all four Regional groups. I hope that this answers your question. Regards Mercman <><
