Thanks for coming up and filming our show. It was great to finally meet you. I own the black '70 Mustang in the main drag.

[@AstillDesign]

Cheers mate, was good to catch up

[@JaneeneHill-vd9ls]

Thank you for your platform coverage of this event! It is an amazing event and I can’t wait for it to get here year in year out! This is an event that me and my grandsons look forward to each year as it usually comes on my 1st grandsons birthday. Live the event and the cars are head turners.

[@AstillDesign]

Cheers mate, it is a great event

[@GWhizzJhangaPakato]

Looks like an awesome day, mint conditions and cars look immaculate too

[@AstillDesign]

It was!

[@rc70ys]

I definitely wish to attend 2024 event looks amazing

[@AstillDesign]

yes its a great time

[@Mattstang]

Great work as always Howard, keep the car event videos coming, cheers

[@AstillDesign]

Thanks for the feed back, appreciate your support

[@coalfacechris1336]

Thanks for the continued massive efforts, Howard. Love to look at the stuff being from the camp in life that probably won't get around to doing a car up - these shows are about as close as I'll get!

[@AstillDesign]

good to have you along

[@hqlion]

Great video Howard. Seems like a great show. I appreciate all the filming, Heather steering you in the right direction and all the editing.

[@AstillDesign]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@nostalgiaof98]

Gotta love a bit of candid photography 😁

[@AstillDesign]

👍

[@a1962Cobra]

Great video Howard. Thanks for the nice words about my Cobra at the 24:30 mark. I would have loved to have met you and Heather and say g’day. I’ll make sure to keep an eye out next year 😊

[@AstillDesign]

Nice car mate, next time👍

[@vicoactus9246]

1954 Ford Crestliner. Ford produced a run of only 200 special-edition vehicles, which were equipped with glass roof panels and a glass hood window to showcase the cars engine. The cars were sold only for display in Ford dealership showrooms. Bit of history for you Howard. It was great to see you at Cooly's, I was in the white flared Torana Hatchback.

[@AstillDesign]

Thanks for the heads up, learning heaps about all these unique cars. I think you might have made the cooly’s video that’s in production 👍

[@vicoactus9246]

@@AstillDesign cool Howard, I'll look out for it. 🤟😎

[@zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz11.11]

Another great video and well done for navigating through a busy crowd. Cheers!!

[@AstillDesign]

Thanks mate, I appreciate your support

[@Me-dt3ul]

Thanks mate, looks like a great event.

[@AstillDesign]

You bet

[@frankaxth1005]

It was a top show we had a god time and food and drinks were good

[@AstillDesign]

Good to hear

[@shanemclean7517]

Thanks Howard great work

[@AstillDesign]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@stevemcintyre4398]

Don't be so harsh, I reckon your filming and commentary is bloody good given the crowds at these events. There were so many cool cars there and I enjoyed your video.

[@AstillDesign]

Thanks mate

[@honestpat7789]

Love the Cooly rocks festival, but I can’t handle the traffic getting in and out of there anymore 😂 And the crowds can make it difficult to get a good look at the cars or photograph them. The Caloundra beach fest isn’t as crowded and has a bit more holiday vibes to it 🙌

[@AstillDesign]

Thursday and Friday at cooly was good.

[@shakelshaik856]

Top old skool cars💯..im in south africa and have a 72 fairlane 500 in original condition

[@AstillDesign]

Thanks, that sounds like a cool ride.

[@RobertJohnson-dm9br]

Great work with how you present your outings. I waited to see if there were Studebakers and just caught the right corner of a Bullet Nose.

[@AstillDesign]

Hi Robert, there are quite a few Studebakers in the Crusing Cooly video that went up thursday

[@johncarne1055]

You did an amazing film.job Howard... I like your filming very smooth as opposed to others out there who are too fast with scanning and zooming. Wish I knew you was thete as am an avid follower

[@AstillDesign]

Thanks for the feed back John. I’m trying to make it feel like your walking with me taking it all in. Cheers H

[@DADZGARAGE]

Well done again on a great video. .Dadz Garage at 9 min 12.😂

[@AstillDesign]

Got ya.😂😂

[@nomad9640]

Those big bug grills on the headlights. Grasshoppers just ain't the same size no more

[@AstillDesign]

🫣

[@nomad9640]

If only there was a night event to accommodate the rowdy

[@AstillDesign]

Mate, they need to just have some restraint.

[@Punk510]

The 2024 caloundra Friday night main street line locker competition date is set

[@AstillDesign]

Yeah and that will be the end of it for everyone

[@Tuddles-kr1uy]

The Hellraiser van has only been around in the last couple of years I've got photos of it from van show at Hervey Bay from 2021.

[@AstillDesign]

was it a restoration of an old van or a new build

[@Tuddles-kr1uy]

I think it was a new build

[@robertmalatesta476]

Hey Howard Hope all is well I love your show but to be honest I watch for the work you do not car shows ,I also noticed the views are down so I don't think I'm the only one. Cheers just being honest

[@AstillDesign]

Hi Rob, I would love to do all workshop shows but I can’t do that much work. The events will be at least 50% of our production going forward. As for views, we continue to grow with 1.5 million views over the last 12 months.

[@bmcshane80]

Its a Retro themed event and has a 1987 cut off date for entrants. Thats actually me @17 seconds in hahaha Im from Sydney originally and honestly Howard, the South East Queensland car scene is the best in the country hands down. Next year it wont clash with Cooly and the entrace rule may be changing.

[@AstillDesign]

I liked it, had a good feel

[@markpearton4502]

You do amazing work Howard but I reckon your sponsors should get you a better camara. Do not know what other's think but it seems to be blurry and fuzzy when moving. Cell phone not really doing the job.

[@AstillDesign]

Hey mate, it’s defiantly not a cell phone. I’m currently using a Sony mirrorless camera. I no the focus can go in and out sometimes but as for clarity it might be the refresh rate on your screen not keeping up.

[@markpearton4502]

@@AstillDesign thanks for the reply, i did notice during your boss xc build it was perfect. Just the shows seem to be blurry round the edges of cars. But do apologise it could well be me.

[@AstillDesign]

It’s a lot easier in a controlled environment with lights etc. outside with variable light it is much more difficult. Plus with some many people I had to move too quickly at times.

[@user-fx2sh6pk9u]

​@markpearton4502 I'd say it's Howard's settings...I don't think he is know for Tech/Camera skills🙃

[@phill2009c6]

Yep yet another utuber that just walks past corvettes

[@AstillDesign]

Walked past about 400 cars on that day. Sorry I didn’t stop for your favourite

[@phill2009c6]

I like most things with wheels l know u do your best A+ for that I was just saying

[@user-fx2sh6pk9u]

Well...he's a Ford guy afterall🙃

[@texanranger7212]

Nor should dangerous behaviour be tolerated. These are family events for goodness sake. Families should not have to put up with dangerous behaviour if they want to participate in the Friday cruise. Perhaps the authorities should consider double or triple demerit points while these events are in progress. Or even better, slap them with a three month licence suspension! I bet that will significantly change their behaviour.

[@AstillDesign]

I'm sure they will keep it under control

[@texanranger7212]

I hope so. Keep the cool content coming. P.S I am a Ford dude but that Green on top and dark colour Holden was spectacular!
