1996 Australian Car Audio Finals

1996 Australian Car Audio National Finals


The 1996 CAN finals where held at the Melbourne Exhibition Building on the 16th and 17th of March.
These are my snap-shots of the event, with more added once the car/car audio magazines print articles on it.

All of the major manufacturers were there, with large stands. This was at the end of the day, when the results ceremony was on, hence not many people in the shot.

Mmmmm... Clarion chick!
Sorry about darkness, I forgot to bring my Big Ass Flash (BAF®) - Sorry Honest!
