My '88 Coupe was previously owned by Bill Cox so the car has a history of being part of the Western Event Coordination activity.
After Bill, the car went to Walgett so it saw some use on outback roads before being traded through the local Holden dealership.

Many members have heard the story of my wife's eBay purchase of an '88 roadster but only a few realise that the Coupe was actually bought for parts to get the roadster registered. I became aware that a club member (Richard Stones) had the car and although a little worn, it was extremely original. It still had all of the anti-pollution gear and ran well. When it was passed in at auction Richard convinced me that it was too good to pass up. After fixing a few little issues and taking the car on a couple of runs I felt I could not wreck such a good and original vette and it became my daily drive. The car runs extremely well and everything works so it is a joy to drive.
The roadster is still a work in progress although it has given up a few bits for the coupe and is currently on the "one day" list.

The vette trailer was a project for the 2014 convention. I had toyed with the idea and was told that it was too hard. Naturally I had to prove this to be wrong, but in hind sight it was more work than I had anticipated, taking three months to build. The trailer owes its shape to the roadster which was used to make the moulds and boasts a stepped chassis to get it to the right ride height. It's finished in clear over base like the car and has electric brakes because a C4 doesn't have spare capacity.

As a recent retiree, I'm looking forward to being a regular on as many runs as possible. I find the members of the club to be a great bunch of people and enjoy the club camaraderie immenely.
