Hello gtc,

I think that anywhere between 7.45 and 8am is fine, but if you want to beat the ques, 7.30am...

Even if you get there at 8.15, it doesnt matter as we have a designated area to park for the vettes, so you wont miss out.

I will be there at 7.30am.

Thanks

Hello Vetters ,

It was a :ado day today, at 100 Anniversary GM Day show 2008 @ Penrith Panthers .

The weather was fabulous, the people were super happy and we had a total of 35 corvettes on show...  wow, it looked more like a corvette show than anything else. and the quality of cars was superb.

I was stationed at the entry gate at the begining and people were coming up to me asking if it was our show!

Thankyou to everyone who turned out to support the day and also the club with your beautiful cars.

I took about 44 pics in all... here are some for your viewing in no particular order (oh..sorry to dial up users):






Our lovely corvette bunnies and marquee area



Setting up and balloon duties













Richard Dicksons - best unrestored corvette



Malcom Cummin - best restored











Thanks again to everyone who participated, sorry i couldnt post all your cars here and also a big sorry to Russel Baily (whos lovely black 67 corvette convertible) took out peoples choice, i didnt take a picture of ;37

A great day indeed, and a heck of a good Vette roll up. I think our main competition numbers-wise was from the FX/FJ mob.

Thanks M!
