Strong Community
Owning a hotrod isn't just like owning a new car. The hotrod community is 'like minded' people driving cool old cars and gathering for events and to show off their latest ride. It is more of a 'life style' than a hobby. The Cahill's are proud to support (as major sponsor) the annual gathering at the Yamba Rod Run where funds raised are donated to various local charities.
