Get ready to rev your engines! In this episode, we’re gearing up for one of the biggest community events of the winter. We sit down with car enthusiast John McCoy-Lancaster to preview the 2026 Winterfest Port Stephens Car Show, taking over the heart of Nelson Bay on Sunday, July 12th.

With over 400 vehicles on display—ranging from vintage muscle to modern high-performance machines—this isn't just a car show; it's a full-scale community celebration. John takes us under the hood of what to expect, from the live entertainment at Apex Park to the special appearance by Australian motorsport legend John Bowe at the Welcome Night Dinner. Best of all, the event is fueling a vital cause, with all fundraising efforts supporting the Mark Hughes Foundation in the fight against brain cancer. Whether you’re a petrolhead or just looking for a fantastic family day out, this is the episode that will get you ready for the weekend!
