An idle thought one day culminated in more than 220 cars – and even more spectators – turning up to enjoy a free show’n’shine in Kingaroy last Sunday.
“I was sitting at home whingeing that there was nothing to do with our cars in town,” Motors’N’Mochas Kingaroy founder Paul Zenovich told southburnett.com.au.
“So I decided to reach out to a few people who had cool cars, and they reached out to a few more people …”
The first Motors’N’Mochas was held in mid-2022 and attracted 150 vehicles.
The second outing on Sunday proved to be even bigger.
It was held at the Kingaroy & District Vintage Machinery Club grounds, near Kingaroy Airport.
Paul said he had contacted a few car clubs and vehicles had rolled in from across the region, Dalby and Toowoomba.
Next time, he’s hoping there’ll be vehicles coming in from the Sunshine Coast and even further.
He’s hoping to hold a Motors’N’Mochas every three months or so, although a date hasn’t been set for the next event yet.
It’s not a competition and anything that’s interesting can come along …
“If you’re proud of it, you can bring it along and show it,” Paul said.
And the best thing about it?
Paul organised for local food vendors to come along to sell coffee and burgers, and there were raffles for fuel vouchers to help him cover costs.
As well, a bucket was passed around for voluntary donations to support the Vintage Machinery club, but apart from that, everything else was free for both exhibitors and visitors!
