Folks unable to make this run certainly missed an excellent opportunity for
members of both Qld Corvette Clubs to relax in a beautiful setting and enjoy
our common passion. We had a marvellous turn-out
with 25 Corvettes and around 40 members enjoying a pot luck picnic in the
Colmslie Reserve Parklands, on the banks of the Brisbane River. Everyone
brought a plate of picnic food to share and we may have over catered a
little with mountains left even after sampling the wonderful variety on
offer.
Peter Mellor provided a show and tell by bringing his Ford V8 powered
Bolwell Nagari sports car - the rest of us just brought Corvettes.
Keith got dirty early and his change of clothes in the car park reminds me
of why Clark Kent changes in a phone box. Our photographer was quick enough
to capture a shot of Keith's white tummy while staging a re-enactment
of the incident after lunch.
The boys enjoyed a little ceremonial head scratching with a group
under-bonnet examination of Dave's new Yellow C4. Still don't know
what we were looking for???
Some lovely words from Chris after the group photo and it was back to the
shade and gentle breeze for coffee and cake.
I'd like to believe the great turn-out of members from both clubs to be a
vote of support for combining more events as social Corvette fanatics rather
than continue maintaining the illusion of politically opposed clubs.
We headed for home after a lovely day spent catching up with old mates and
making new friends, with the 2013 Corvettes on the Coast Concourse our next
combined event.
