14th FE-FC Holden Nationals | Live Updates From Perth WA

[Tailshaft_Tim]

FE & FC Holden's have fired up for their first cruise of the Nationals. Congratulations to the FE-FC Holden Car Club of WA on organising a fantastic and scenic cruise along Riverside Drive and up to Kings Park for a view over the city of Perth. The convoy turned plenty of heads and took in some impressive vistas this afternoon.

Here are some of our shots and a video taken from our FC Holden station sedan. Please excuse the quality as we're new to filming (you can also hear our one year old Oscar calling our "Car, Car". Hopefully some other entrants can add their contributions here too.
