Perth Motor Show

On Friday (ANZAC day) we visited the Perth Motor Show at the Exhibition and Conference Centre. Thankfully we paid the tickets online as the queues were horrendous. Not as good as expected but worth a visit. We were disappointed Mercedez and BMW didn't make a show. Was keen to find out what their latest models looked like; just out of interest as the pockets aren't that deep.

In case you're wondering ANZAC stands for Australian and New Zealand Army Corps. It's celebrated every year (like our remembrance day) to honour those who fought at Galipoli in World War 1. Over 10,000 Australian and New Zealand men died in the attempt to capture Istanbul and knock Turkey out of the war. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ANZAC_Day. There were some really interesting documentaries on TV on ANZAC day. A piece of history I don't believe is that well known back home, or maybe we just didn't pay enough attention in history class!

Ford's GT40. You probably know this already but the 40 stands for 40 inches. That's how high it stands off the ground
