HI MOPAR LOVERS,
Firstly I have to say congratulations to Charlene and Ray on the birth
of their new son Cooper, he is my fourth grandchild, and what a little
beauty he is too.
Since my last report we have been to Albury for the Chryslers
on the Murray Show and as always they had an excellent show with over
304 vehicles of excellent quality. There certainly was something for
everyone. We had approximately 17 cars on display and several
deservedly won trophies on the day. In particular Strat Georgeadis for
his stunning AP6 wagon, Laurie Finlayson with his excellent VG Pacer
and Maryanne and Gerard Rivet for their CL Charger Police Special. Well
done all of you, and a special well done to the Albury Wodonga Chrysler
Club, for there efforts in putting on the best Chrysler Show in
Australia.
On a sadder note I was recently advised of the passing away of
one of our club members Tom O'Donnell. He was a club member for about 5
years, and had been battling disease for several years. In the time
that I had met Tom he was a true gentleman and will be sadly missed by
all who knew him.
Our April meeting was to be a special event with guest speaker
Leo Geogehgan, and I was very pleased to see a big turnout of club
members for this special event. However our guest speaker failed to
show. I have heard that he has been ill for some time and hope to
fulfill this at a later date. However our guest speaker for June
Meeting will be Damon Beck well known for his prowess in racing
Chargers. We will keep our fingers crossed but as I have spoken to
Damon several times it should be OK.
Another of our club members is moving away, Garry and Sue
Bannik are making the big move to sunny Queensland. Garry has been a
mainstay in this club for a good number of years and was heavily
involved in the resurrection of this club when it fell apart nearly ten
years ago. His input to this club will be missed and we wish Sue and
Garry the best in their future ventures.
Speaking of future ventures good news for all Chrysler fans
will be the introduction of a new Chrysler Magazine titled "Slick Six
Pacs" being put together by two Mopar guru's, Scott Taylor and Phil
Bryant. These guys have a wealth of knowledge of the Chrysler product
and heaps of good ideas to put into print. This new 'mag' will cater
for ALL Chrysler enthusiasts, with feature cars, tech articles, etc. I
urge ALL members to get behind this publication and support it with
your own subscription. Let's face it there is nothing else out there on
the newstands for us!
Next club run is our Winter Weekend Escape. This year we are
going to Cowra, leaving Eastern Creek 'Macca's at 8am. If you want to
go, make sure you ring Graham to ensure a room. I'm looking forward to
this one, hope they have an open fire in the bar??
That's all to bore you with this time see ya on the street.
Yours in MOPAR.
Ray. |
