Our second Coffee & Classics event is happening this Saturday morning in Port Melbourne. It’s open to all… The more diverse the machines in attendance, the more interesting for everyone.
For more details, click through to our previous blog post, and we shall see you this weekend for chats and beverages.
We’d like to take this opportunity to say congratulations to the Geelong Revival team. The event spanned the full weekend was well organised, entertaining and refreshing. The setting was just right, and the vibe over the whole weekend was, from what we could see, one of fun and enjoyment by spectators and competitors alike.
Our photos have been uploaded, and are resting in the Fuel Magazine 16 folder ready for some printed pages early next year.
Well done all… we’ll be back.
The Geelong Revival is one of the largest motoring festivals in the Australia – a unique 2 day event that brings together a unique mix of cars, motorcycles, fashion and motor sport to create on of Australia’s Largest car culture event!
The 2nd annual Geelong Revival Motoring Festival will be held on Saturday 30th November – Sunday 1st December 2013 at the Geelong Waterfront. It is quickly becoming one of the region’s largest events. The 2012 event saw over 30,000 in attendance across the weekend.
This year’s Festival focus is on promoting motoring culture. With an open-minded approach to what’s cool in the area of classic, retro, old school, performance, prestigious or just plain odd. This focus not only applies to the motor sport but also the Classic Motorshow, Market and Fashion.
Located along Geelong’s picturesque Waterfront, The Geelong Revival will invite 800 local and international vehicles to participate in a festival that celebrates the best aspects of motoring’s unique culture and heritage. This unique and free event is open to the general public and focuses on delivering a family and community focused atmosphere.
Featuring delicious food, fashion and music from around the region our aim is to create a fun weekend for all individuals involved while strengthening the automotive community. To produce this free festival to the community, Geelong Revival invites you to participate in this unique historical event.
On Saturday, 7th December, along with Globe, we will hold the second Fuel Magazine Coffee & Classics in Port Melbourne. Just like last time, ALL vehicles are welcome.. Euro, Japanese, US, Australian. Cars, bikes, trucks. You name it, you’re invited. What dictates a classic? Well.. as always, who’s to make the rules? But if you think it’s a classic, then surely it must be, right?
If you are part of a club or group who would like to come en mass, we’d love to hear from you. Drop us an email an advance so that we can make sure that you’re accommodated with a group spot.
What’s the order of the day? There isn’t one. Just come over, park up, grab a coffee and breakfast from the Salford Lads Club (and a neat trim from Uncle Rocco’s) and… socialise.

This weekend, the newly established Kustom Kommune in Collingwood, Melbourne plays host to the 2nd annual Oil Stain Brain event. If last year’s was anything to go by, this will be a must see for sure. The party is this Saturday night, but the show is open all day Sat & Sun. But it is just those two days though, so make sure you get down there. Here are a few words from the guys themselves:
On Saturday the 2nd and Sunday the 3rd of November the second installation of Oil Stained Brain will be taking place. Oil Stained Brain is a motorcycle exhibition unlike any other. It’s a celebration of the skill, hard work and creative thinking that goes into building custom motorcycles and showcases a diverse mix of building styles from an eclectic group of Australian backyard builders. This year the event has moved to the outskirts of the CBD to Collingwood where it will take place at Australia’s first communal motorcycle workshop, the Kustom Kommune. Along with 30 new custom builds the exhibition will showcase a display of custom moto inspired photography from a hand picked group of local photographers, artwork by the latest edition to the Melbourne bike scene, Ornamental Conifer and live pin striping and paint demonstrations by Karl from KDS designs (who also happened to design that poster).
If you’re in Melbourne and into any type of custom building or simply have a soft spot for machines that roll on two wheels then you’ll want to head down to the show to get your fill.
What a fun five days that was.. well six including setting up , standing around all weekend and then ripping it all down today. No, sorry no full report here about the show, but we did keep things rolling through our Instagram account. It was however a fantastic event with everything to satisfy a little boy’s poster collection and then some. As per usual, we met some new folks, had lots of chats and caught up with familiar faces.
Thanks to everyone who stopped by to say hello and introduce yourselves. It’s always good to put faces to names and to see who’s out there. We’d also like to sincerely thank Gary and the guys at TT Motorcycles for loaning us the CR750 from Tank issue 01 for the whole weekend. It certainly was a crowd-puller, so business as usual there.
This weekend it’s RACV Motorclassica; Australia’s premier classic car & motorcycle event.
We were invited to produce the show program this year, and here’s the front cover. What a great job this was to do. Lots of fun, lots learned and lots of.. data entry. Erk.
We’ll post more details as the physical copies come in. In the meantime, scratch this in to your diary for this weekend, it’s a truly marvellous event in one of Melbourne’s most beautiful old buildings.
