Hey everyone,

 
On Sunday the 1st of October, the Toymods Car Club is hosting their annual Toyotafest Show-'n'-Shine event at Castle Hill Toyota. It's a great location for the event because it's almost entirely undercover. 
 
The MR2 Owners Club of Australia - NSW Branch will be attending this event as a group, to cater for those of you who can't make it to the MR2 Nationals in South Australia on the same weekend. 
 
The official Toyotafest event details can be found here on the Toymods forum. 
If you would like to enter your vehicle in the event, then you must enter online here prior to the event. 
 
So that we can arrive in our MR2s at Toyotafest together as a group, we are going to meet at McDonalds Rydalmere (next to Bunnings Rydalmere) at 7am on the 1st of October, for a ~7:20am departure. From there it's a short drive to Castle Hill Toyota, where entrants will be allowed into the Toyotafest event between 7:30am and 8:55am. It's better to get there closer to 7:30am to avoid the long line of cars waiting to enter the venue. 
 
See you there!

Is there a tally of how many people are rocking up to this (no need for details)?
Seeing a number might encourage a bigger turnout.
 
I'm not sure what the maximum allowed is but they say the first 150 get a Sponsors Goodie Bag.
Anyone know from previous years?

Approximately 160 cars attended ToyotaFest 2016. (Sold out at 200 cars, but a club and some general entries pulled out at the last moment). Being held at Castle Hill Toyota makes it a really family friendly venue as there are plenty of food/drink/bathrooms on site (Or a 200m walk to Subway if you prefer).

200 cars would be good. 43 spots remaining. Plus a walk of the streets should see some more interesting cars.

As of this morning, there are 175 entrants to Toyotafest. Ticket sales close tonight, so it could get close to 200 by then!

Have a great time.  I'll be there next year.
