For Part 1 CLICK ME (http://www.nswcorvettes.com.au/forum/viewthread.php?tid=4537)
And now that I have found my way to another computer after seemingly killing my laptop (right after I edited all my WSID pics down and saved them onto said laptop ;30) here is my contribution.
Cam gave me a call late Tuesday morning saying he and Michelle were going to WSID. So I dragged myself out of bed to check it out. ;41 It was worth the trip - although the $50
gate charge was a little on the expensive side. ;40
Some of my pics:
