Vroom Vroom, Melbourne: Cars & Culture Returns to St Kilda

After a full-throttle debut earlier this year, the event is back for round two from 9am to 12pm, fuelled by caffeine, bass and a whole lot of petrolhead pride. Entry? Free. Excuses? None.

This isn’t your average car show where you just gawk and go home. Expect Supercars, JDM icons, 4x4 rigs, muscle cars and classics so shiny they make your reflection look good. It’s the kind of mix where a Lamborghini might park next to a Toyota AE86, and everyone still nods in respect.

The day hums with more than engines. There’ll be a live DJ, stacks of food and coffee vendors, and MCA members scoring free caffeine hits to keep the conversations buzzing. The Golden Ticket Raffle will tempt one lucky punter with a cool $20,000, while the charity raffle dishes out hundreds in prizes for a good cause.

Founder Tom Fu says the idea was simple: give car lovers a reason to come together. “It’s a community thing,” he explains. “Whether you’ve spent years rebuilding a Skyline or you just love seeing good machines in motion, this is your tribe.”

The event is backed by the local council, giving St Kilda’s Sunday scene an extra dose of polish and horsepower. Locals get the buzz, cafés get the trade, and the Triangle gets temporarily transformed into Melbourne’s most photogenic car park.

And when the engines finally fire up for the drive-out finale, you’ll want front-row seats. Hundreds of vehicles peeling off the esplanade in one roaring convoy. Think of it as Melbourne’s unofficial parade of pride, just with more exhaust fumes and better rims.

So grab a flat white, bring the family, and maybe start practising your “that’s my dream car” face.
