Concours d’Lemons Down Under 2018

September 29, 2018 @ 10:00 am - 4:00 pm

Free

FREE ENTRY FOR EVERYONE

It’s the world’s worst car show, or more correctly a show of the world’s worst cars, and despite all efforts, it’s slipped past our border security and immigration controls AGAIN.

This time, we’ve coerced the folks at the National Motor Museum into helping out, and they have some pretty wacky machinery of their own, that they’re going to bring along!

In a mistake that’s sure to cost someone their job, we’ve been allowed to take over the Torrens Parade Grounds (right behind Government House), in the heart of downtown Adelaide for the 2nd Annual Concours d’Lemons Down Under on Sept. 29, 2018.

We’ll have our usual thriftshop sourced, cheap trophies, allow bribing of the judges and all of the whacky categories to show off your heap.

The odd, wierd, rare and just plain un-loved of the automobile world, will include Rust Buckets, Hoopties and Kobbled Together Kangaroo Karts, and the whole lot will share the lovely Torrens Parade Grounds with Billetproof Down Under, a gathering of traditionally styles rod hots and customs.

Hot on the heals of last year’s disaster of a show, we decided to throw in a whole bunch of other things to do, like free facepainting, balloon artist and other entertainment for the kids (and bored adults), food vans, a display by Adelaide’s own strongman Jordan “Biggie” Steffens, and much much more.

Of course, we wouldn’t dare charge you anything for this farce, so registration and spectator entry is totally free.

Be sure to thank Shannons Insurance for making this whole debacle possible. Give them a call, because if you are driving your wreck to this show, you are going to need all the insurance you can get!
