President’s Report
It’s been a hectic last couple of months with Crissy holidays and so, now back to the grind. Everything seems to be running
smoothly with the club the runs and events are getting good numbers which proves to me we are heading in the right
direction. We have our local concourse [Car Show] down at Southport being organised at the mo. This will be held on the
fourth Sunday in September. We are hosting the Big Concourse for the entire country in 2019 and are looking to form a
committee for this event as there is a lot of planning that has to go into it . You don’t have to be on the main committee to be
a part of this just let one of us know if you’re interested. My twins are turning that age where they can get their learners
permit. That means 200 hours of nail bitting dread for me @100 hours each of learning . They can drive a V8 while on their
permit but not once they have got their licence until they are on open licence. My son Jordan can’t wait to take the Vette for
a spin. I just bought a new work ute and offered my son the old one, he said jamb that piece of s@#t it needs to much work
and would be an embarrassment to drive . Fancy turning down a free car, I don’t understand kids of today. Money can’t buy
happiness but it can buy a Corvette and that’s pretty darn close. See you on the road, Glenn

Friday night Dinner at “Al Sahara”
Hosted by Ernie and Sally Whittle
Eighteen of the regular “Friday night Diners” gathered for this dinner
with a Middle Eastern flavour at Slacks Creek. Some of the crowd met us
there and a lovely trio of dips and home made flat bread was the
delicious entrée awaiting on our tables.
The lovely Tina was our hostess for the evening and had prepared a
buffet of about 6 different dishes and salads for us to taste for our
dinner. There was enough for about 30 people and we all filled our
plates with a large helping of spicy fragrant food – YUM!
To complete the meal we had beautiful little glass teapots with black
cardamom tea in them and dainty little glass cups to sip from. The tea
was kept warm over a candle and the whole process was quaint and
lovely. The prices were reasonable and after Tina let us take home the
remainder of the buffet at the end of the night, a real bargain!!
This is a newly established family business, with Tina’s brother being a
waiter and her Mum cooking all the desserts, so it was lovely to help
them get established with our patronage. Tina’s Dad adored the
Corvettes parked in his driveway and took many photos that were on the
Al Sahara facebook page in the blink of an eye!
A fun night and hope you can recommend it to your friends and family
too.
P.S. Next time we need to be braver and try the Camel!!!

Mike’s Tech tips and Trivia
1978 was the first year that a Corvette was invited to be an INDY PACE CAR. Did
you know that the factory did not apply the decals-- these were put inside the
vehicle for the dealers to apply IF the customer wanted stickers all over his
Corvette. Therefore , there may be a lot of Pace Cars out there without the
stickers. The special VIN number is always a sure way of identifying the correct
Corvette
Effective HAND brakes in a C2 or C3 are rare. This is because the design is poor
and most owners just put up with the mediocrity of the system. After many years
of putting up with an in- effective hand brake I decided to examine the brakes.
Before jacking up the rear of your Vette, undo all 4 TTop levers--- or risk cracked
TTops. After removing the rear wheels, check to see if there are rivets holding
the disc rotors on to the axle. If there are rivets holding your disc rotor on to
axle, then you know that the brake shoes have NEVER been checked or replaced.
I made my own spring remover-- see photo. I used a spare screw driver and a
thin cutting wheel to cut a groove into the end of the screw driver. this makes
removing and replacing brake shoe springs much easier. All the Corvette parts
suppliers have kits for the E brake parts replacements.
I checked the calipers whilst they were off--- I found each caliper had one sticking
piston, so these have to be taken to a specialist for replacement. No point just to
replace the two--- do all 8---there is NO compromise for safety !! I will let you
know how my hand brake system works in next month's Vetteletter.
The inside windscreen of my Commodore was always smeary-- I could never get
it clean. I tried metho and water, several brands of glass cleaner, but to no avail. I
happened to mention this problem to a car dealer mate. He said: use a water
bottle squirter and newspaper in a circular motion. Rubber gloves will prevent
getting the newspaper ink all over your hands. I tried this and it worked perfectly
--- a lot cheaper than buying glass cleaning products!

Sunday Brekky Run
Trip Report by Elaine Lamont
As Craig was having his 50th birthday on Sunday, I decided to have a
surprise 50th Birthday dinner for him on the Saturday night. It was a very
merry affair that wound up in the early hours of the morning.
Finally I crawled into bed a little after 1.00am and asked Craig what time
should I set the alarm for? He told me 5.30am where he promptly went to
sleep and snored all night which he has a case of doing when he has
indulged in one drink too many.
After a lack of sleep I got up, roused Craig out of bed, blearily made
morning cuppas and was informed by Craig why had we got up so early
when we did not need to be at the Hyperdome until 7.30am. #*#*
We decided to take the top off our Vette as it was such a lovely day and it’s so nice to have the wind in your face while enjoying
a drive in the Vette. All met at the Hyperdome with a couple meeting us at the side of the road to join in and a couple down at
the Surf Club.
Of course we had to have someone break down because
what is a trip without a break down. I never knew the “On
the Tow’ award would prove to be so popular. Jim decided
he didn’t want to give it up so Jim & Ann limped off the
Highway at Beenleigh with Glenn & Jayne following nearly
taking out a truck with them. ‘I think they wanted to go to
Sydney with the truck.’ The Ambulance station kindly
allowed Jim to park his Vette in their carpark for safe
keeping as it was found out that Jim’s Vette had overheated and would be okay to drive home when cooled down.
Finally With Jim & Ann in the back-seat of Glenn & Jayne’s car, all made it down safely to the venue, where we all were waiting.
Parking became an issue as the Nippers were having a carnival and parking was all taken up. We decided to ask the Caravan
Park across the road if we could park our Vettes there and they graciously agreed.
Finally we sat down to a very scrummy breakfast with an amazing view of the ocean and caught up with friends, and all that
had been going on over the past few months. It was great to see a larger number of newbies as well as our faith-full older
members. We had 9 Corvettes and 27 members come and have a good time.
As it was Craig’s birthday I made him a surprise birthday cake which Glenn & Jayne kindly bought down, but the heat being so
hot it succumbed to the heat and the icing had started to melt and it didn’t look as great as it should have but there was many
a laugh and Happy Birthday was sung with Jim on the guitar. The cake tasted great and was washed down with Coffee.
We all said our farewells and went our separate ways. Reg and
ourselves being the last to leave, we left and stopped at the red
lights to go around the corner to get onto the main road. The lights
turned green and off we drove only to see Reg slamming on his
brakes, and right before us swerving to avoid both of us as well as 2
Motor-bike was a 4WD BMW going through a red light at warp
speed. If it wasn’t for Reg’s quick braking I would have hated to
think of the damage that would have happened to both of us and
the bikes.
All in all it was a great day and everyone thoroughly enjoyed themselves.
Cheers Craig & Elaine.

Darlington Park Observation Run
Run report by Glenn Miller
After much planning and research, the day had arrived .Sending Craig and
Elaine to the Hyperdome as the trip leaders packed with all the
information. Jayne, myself and Mikayla, my daughter headed to the park
to set up. Waiting for the people to arrive was nerve racking, as there was
no phone reception and we could not communicate with the outer world.
Finally we saw the Vettes coming over the hill then over the bridge to the
destination. We checked off our questions with much banter and fun. Ken
and Paul manned the bbq for lunch and everybody enjoyed the day. We
gave out our prizes after lunch with the winners being Nikki & Paul, Uwe
& friend, Don & Colleen, coming last was Lee & Lixia. We had desserts
[Thanks Anne Marie] and Jim played happy birthday on the guitar to
everybody singing. Thanks to all that participated and help me celebrate
my birthday, hope you all had as good a day as me. Special thanks to
Craig & Elaine for all their help and the cake.
