To all the club members that like a great place to have breakfast. Please join myself and Mary at the Scarborough Hotel and you won't be sorry. If it is a sunny day on the 11th of November then it will be a morning to remember. Start with a meal there and then wonder off to Sea Cliff bridge for a relaxing stroll across the bridge and maybe even leave an engraved padlock with a dedication to your other half (No not the Corvette) on the rails with the 100s of others.

I need to know numbers by the 5th of November if possible. So please think about going on this run and help out the newbie southern guy. Contact me via the website email or mobile 0419 488 166.

Please meet at the Caltex Servo, 1344 Princes Hwy Heathcote at approx 8 ish for an 8:30 am cruise. For anyone that misses the meeting point or wants to come from another direction. The Hotel is at 383 Lawrence Hargrave Drive Scarborough 2515, Phone 02 4267 5444 if you get really lost.

Thanks Mal.

Hello my fellow Corvettians.

I have just checked with the Scarborough Hotel and if it rains they will have an enclosed balcony for us to keep us dry. If the weather is rainy you can still come along in your other car if you don't want to wet the Vette, and have fun anyway. I have called Appin Hotel also to let them know that a few might make a day of it and "CARRY ON" to Appin for lunch.

JUST A SIDE NOTE: This happened with my Vette today. I took her out for a spin to make sure the fuel line wasn't blocked before Scarborough. I stopped at a red light. An old man pulls up next to me riding a mo-ped. The old man looks over the car which made me fell proud. He said "What kind of car ya got there sonny?" I replied, "It's a Corvette, the best sports car in the world; it's cost me a fortune so far."

"That sounds like a lot of money to spend on a car" says the old man. Why do they cost so much?" I said cause I had to make sure it could do 200 plus KPH!" The old man pokes his head in the window and looks around. Leaning back on his mo-ped, the old man says, "That's a pretty nice car all right!"

Just then the light changes, so I decides to show the old man what the car can do. I floored it, and in a few seconds the speedo reads 120 KPH. Then I noticed a dot in my rear view mirror that seems to be catching up to me. Afraid it might be a cop, I slowed down to 60 and suddenly whhhoooosshh! Something whips by me going much faster!

"What on earth could be going faster than this Vette?" I asked myself. Then, ahead of me I saw the dot coming towards me again. Whhoooosshh! It goes by again, heading the opposite direction! And it sorta looked like the old man on the mo-ped! "It couldn't be," I thought. "How could a mo-ped outrun a Vette?"

Then again I saw a dot in my rear view mirror! Whhooosshh - Bam! It plowed into the back of the Vette! I jumped out, and it was the old man! Of course, the mo-ped and the old man are in a world of hurt. I ran up to the old man and cried, "You're hurt bad! Is there anything I can do for you?"

The old man groans and replied, "Yes, could you please unhook my suspenders from your side mirror?"

Ha Ha!
