The 2009 MIA MOTORFEST was again a great success, although we think the car numbers were a bit down because of the long weekend and people having commitments elsewhere. We were still up on numbers compared to last year though. There were allot of great cars/bikes there and I know that allot of the people judging that day were finding it difficult choosing cars, there was so much competition out there. Thanks to all the people that brought along their cars, glad to see people make an effort. I would like to thank the following People/Businesses for their support, without their generosity this type of event would not be possible. Thanks to:
