Hi fellas and gals,

We just have another 12 days to go.  

I have a request for those attending, and in particular those with a a C6 Corvette.   ;ay

The president of the All day Gm Committee has asked me if we could have a volunteer on the day that would like to place thier vehicle in a designated area (that will be patrolled by scouts (older children) to make sure your car isnt damaged) to celebrate the 35th Anniversary.

This is to showcase the specific models from every year bracket together.  Originally i was asked if we could have at least 10 cars in this designated area, and i advised him that if we did that, we wouldnt have much of a display, and that corvette owners dont like to not be with there cars for not tool ong...;43

I have advised him that i will put the request forward and see if anyone is interested.  It means that your car will be not in the clubs display and in veiw all day.

Secondly, i would like to thank all those who will be attending up front and will see you on the day.

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):

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!
