Leaving the Best For Last!

When Rob Bellio tells you he is holding the very last car show of 2022, he’s not mucking around!

The crew at Kingpin Kuztums are probably the most active car group in Victoria, with a host of different events being staged at various venues across Melbourne and outer suburbs. These include car shows, drive-in nights, the always popular Lygon Street Breakfast meets and more. Each event is focussed on the entrant, so its no wonder each and every event they hold is a huge success, attracting hundreds of street machines, hot rods, customs and bikes.

2022 had been another successful year for the group, headed up by Rob Bellio and to see the year out, the team got together with Somerville Hotel to hold one final event for the year. And they couldn’t have left it any later than December 31st! Whilst many ‘regular’ people were busy planning their own party to celebrate the end of the year, those car guys and girls that love nothing more than cruising their cars, were busy cleaning their rides to end the year in a mass of colour, chrome and horsepower!

Of course, the ‘Pre ’78’ car show is only part of what the group had planned for the last day of 2022. With an expansive area on offer, an array of traders were also on hand to jam in one last day of trading and were kept busy with the thousands of people who converged on the Hotel to take in the festivities. Those that ventured indoors were treated to live Rockabilly music as well! The event kicked off at 10am, and with a closing time of 4pm, it still left enough time to get those rides back home and ticked away to get on with celebrating the end of 2022 in traditional style. Kingpin Kuztums have already starting planning their schedule for 2023 and you’ll find them listing in our event section in each issue. If you get the chance, take in one of their cool events. I guarantee you, it won’t be the last…
