Now that is a great find. I have down loaded them and will see if I can get them printed in the June issue of our mag with a little note on who found them, if I haven't missed the dead line.

Well done squire.

Good.

Pics are a little big but in this case there OK so we can read the text on them.

You have a U2U message as well.

And I have sent the info to Our club Secretary already.

You'll become a picture posting nut before long. ;53

Sorry about the squire thing. Force of habbit. Don't want to use peoples names on the forum without their permission.

Well done MADLT1

Also for you guys that dont know... I collected old footage from some of the founding members and put them onto DVD-R's. There are several DVD's ranging from the first convention & up! They are available from our club library video collection for loan! You have to come to the meeting to collect it or get a fellow member to get them. They are on loan only for the 1 month between meetings!
They are interesting viewing! and lots of burn outs!

A bit of a sidebar for you,
The Corvette Car Club of Australia folded in the 80's and in it's charter were directions that it's goods and chattels should go to a like minded club.
They were given to the Chevrolet Car Club of Victoria and their banner now resides on the wall of our clubrooms.
