Hi Folks,
I'm a new member so I'm saying hello, especially to C3 owners. I live in the North Ryde area.
My aim is to own a Stingray, circa 1970, and I've really only just started looking. I'd prefer a RHD big block.
Last Tuesday Gary Lackersteen very kindly looked over a 1970 big block with me and helped me decide that it wasn't for me. Although the body was fairly straight, and it looked good on the floor, it really was a "bitsa" with a lot of bodgie bits on it.
I should say that I don't have the facilities to strip a car down and rebuild it, even if I had the inclination. I'm really after a turn-key unit that I can have fun in the sun with, and which will grow in value, rather than the reverse, although I am a realist and if I find a basically solid unit that needs a bit of TLC then I'm okay with that.
I was delighted to be invited by Gary to last Tuesday night's BBQ at Doll's Point, and I met a lot of friendly and informative people, including the Fergusons who were glad to learn of another membership north of the Harbour Bridge.
I was also blown away by Gary's b-e-a-u-t-i-f-u-l blue big block convertible. That, folks, sets the benchmark for me.
I've bought a ticket for Sunday's Christmas party at Lane Cove, where I hope to meet a lot more people and remember, if you're a seller (or know of a seller), I'm a buyer!
Cheers for now,
Graeme
