Title: All GM Day Car Show - 26 April 2009
Post by: 69VETTE on February 24, 2009, 01:16:58 PM

Hello Gents and Ladies,

Happy New Year to all those persons that i haven't already bumped into or have seen at the club meetings. I Just wanted to get in early this year and advise that we are again quickly approaching the "All Gm Day" car show this year at Penrith Panthers.

This year it falls on the sunny Sunday the 26 April 2009, yes the day after Anzac Day.... so get ready... lets try to beat last years all time record of over 30 cars.

Here is the flyer.

We will also have the details posted in our club magazine, so dont worry if you forget to keep checking the club forum.

69vette: Are we in the same location this year ... on a freshly mowed paddock?

If so guys, pack a paint brush or similar to get the grass clippings off your tyres.

But let's be optimistic, like the Bureau: "Sunday Windy. Mostly fine."

Hello fellow Vetters...

Firstly i would like to take this opportunity to thank all those, who were able to come along to the All GM Day show to proudly support our club..

Thank YOU...  

What a day, i know some of you were dissapointed with the location, but never the less it was a way away away from the rest, and peaceful.  Whilst it also blew and blew, the good ol vettes, and some not so old, did the club proud and looked magnificent on the day as they were stabled in the corral.. lets say the corvette corral (i hope i spelt that right!)

A total of 40 vettes made it along and we smashed last years all time record of 30!.. thats terrific... well here are some pics, or shoud i say highlights of the day.

Yes, this was not good enough and really needs to be addressed with the organsing committee before the 2019 event. With 40 Vettes there, we well and truly outnumbered many of the better-positioned marques -- some of which didn't even seem to have fronted, leaving at least one large open area in prime display position that we could have easily occupied.

This is a public display and so the public should see us without having to wander down to the back of the park into a valley, and the exhibitors, having prepared their Vettes to show n shine condition, deserve far better treatment, too.
