President’s Message April 2019

I guess I was always destined to be a car nut, from the earliest I can remember I was fascinated by cars, drawing them, looking at them and trying to understand how they worked. Then, at the age of nine, I discovered motor magazines, The Australian Motor Manual, I devoured every word and in 1953 and 1954 more motor magazines were released, Wheels and Modern Motor so more pocket money spent on every month’s edition and incidentally I still have them all. Naturally all this reading intensified my desire to own a car and I still don’t know how I did so well at school given all the time I spent reading motor mags instead of studying school work. When the great day arrived and I was finally the proud owner of a Morrie Minor the next step was to join a car club so I joined the Grafton Sporting Car Club after attending one of their hillclimbs. Car club membership opened up new avenues of friendships for me because at last I could mix with like minded individuals who shared a love of cars. Since that fateful day I have enjoyed membership of a great many car clubs, both local and out of town but the common thread shown in all of them is that great camaraderie among car people. One only has to approach an owner at an event and it is immediately possible to share a rapport with them by showing an interest in their car.

Over the years I have been a member of various service clubs and associations but being a rather introverted person I have always found difficulty in establishing some common ground with other members but with car clubs the cars have always been the common thread which have bound members together and established many long term friendships. Consequently I hope you are all enjoying your membership of our Club and may you treasure the friendships you have discovered therein.

RUN REPORTS

COFFEE RUN TO PARK BEACH SURF CLUB 13TH MARCH 2019 Some 25 members attended the coffee run to the Park Beach Surf Club on a warm and humid morning. The members were well looked after with good service, goodies and excellent coffee. It was a good chance to relax with plenty of talk and banter with everyone enjoying themselves. In a nice touch everyone wished Charlie Smith best wishes for his 91st birthday on 11th March. Some 6 “H” and 2 “D” plated vehicles were used on the run.

Warwick Thomson

OBSERVATION RUN AND PICNIC LUNCH 17TH MARCH 2019

Following a wet couple of days, the sun shone and six cars, drivers and observers participated in the Club Observation Run on 17th March. The run was 100kms long with everyone winding their way up Bruxner Park Road through the Orara East State Forest to Bucca where they navigated their way around the myriad of roundabouts from Bucca to Woolgoolga and then to the back blocks of Woopi back down the highway to Bucca road and out through Nana Glen. The run finished at the Jetty Foreshores where we all had a very pleasant picnic lunch. Interestingly, the last car to leave managed to arrive back first!!

Alan and Maureen Mattinson were outright winners with all 30 questions being answered correctly. Ian and Lesley Sagaris and Rob and Margaret Chapman came in equal 2nd with 28 points and everyone else scored 25 points. It was a very enjoyable day after which we all left to watch the Australian GP or have a snooze!!

LIGHTNING RIDGE TOUR 2019

On Friday 22nd our group of 16 Club members

gathered at the rest area at Jackadgery for morning tea before heading off for The Standing Stones at Glen Innes for our lunch time stop. We found this to be an interesting area with a nice little coffee shop. The weather was perfect at about 29 degrees and because of forecast 40+ Temperatures at Lightning Ridge, we elected to drive our air conditioned modern cars and this proved a master stroke. After leaving Glen Innes and Inverell in our wake we arrived at the Albert Motel in Moree and after booking in some of our mob sampled the Artesian Pools before returning for happy hour at the motel. Then it was into the Club next door for drinks, more lies and a lovely meal before surrendering to the Sandman back at the motel.

The Lion’s Park at Collarenebri welcomed us for our Morning tea stop on Saturday morning, an area without grass and a view of real water above the weir. Onward to Lightning Ridge over a very rough undulating road flanked by an empty flat landscape crying out for rain. It was surprising to find little roadkill, probably because most of the animals had died of thirst. On entering the township one couldn’t help noticing the population sign which features a large question mark and we were told that the most popular name in “the Ridge” is John Smith. We parked our cars for the weekend at the Wallangulla Motel, booked in then crossed the road to the Bowling Club for lunch (and to escape the 40 degree heat), after which we were taken on the “Town Tour” by “Borco” from Outback Tours. This included a walk in mine visit, opal polishing demo and Amigo’s Castle. Following a spruce up the Club’s aircon beckoned, we followed for drinks, more lies and dinner before returning to the motel for a good night’s sleep. On Sunday, “Borco” picked us up after breakfast for our full day tour of the opal fields. This included morning tea at the “Club in the Scrub”, a licenced venue (we even had to sign in), lunch at the Glengarry Hilton and The Sheepyard. No building code out here! The war memorial and museum was a real surprise. Rough miner’s cottages and unregistered vehicles were everywhere and I loved the traffic sign “vehicles with brakes must give way”.

Chambers of the Black Hand were our destination for Monday morning. 20 metres underground a labyrinth of rooms and tunnel walls were covered with over 600 carvings and paintings of all descriptions. There was also a coffee lounge and gift shop. This place was truly amazing and is a must visit. It was then goodbye to Lightning Ridge, hello Inverell where Happy Hour at the Club Motel preceded Dinner at the adjacent Services Club. Coffee at the Information centre and a visit to the Transport Museum completed our tour and our tired but happy group made their various ways home. Bill Denham

A great report Bill. Editor


EDITOR COMMENT………..... “Is that the Standing Stones in the background”?

Brief Comments

Unfortunately the Frogarium is not open at the moment however, you can browse the great display of items for sale in the adjoining Willy Wagtail Homewares store.

This car show has become an annual event. The village organises entertainment with a BBQ and good espresso coffee. The Village also runs raffles, has a couple of craft stalls and if there are a couple of our cars available to take 3 residents for a short run they run a raffle to decide who goes. If required a carer accompanies the resident removing responsibility from the driver. This has been one of our most enjoyable runs in the past and it makes the day for the residents.

Porsche 356 enthusiasts worldwide are well aware of Rod Emory, his company Emory Motorsports and the iconic Outlaw series of cars he and his close-knit team of craftsmen produce in the United States. His business operation remains a ‘closed shop’ other than to his loyal customers and suppliers. We were privileged recently to meet the man and his team at the secured ‘inner sanctum’ in North Hollywood, California. The affable and grounded Rod whose workday typically commences around 4:30am made us feel most welcome to tour his operation. The showroom contained four of Rod’s gleaming concourse level ‘daily drivers’ – the Speedster, the 1959 Coupe, the 904 and the 911. The walls were adorned with unique photographs, posters and a vast collection of die cast Porsche models. The Emory Design studio here is where Rod’s creative ideas are

transformed into reality. Since the beginning in 1996, Emory Motorsports has created in excess of 170 unique 356 and 911 Outlaws. Cars are built to order and can take eighteen months to complete. Customers select their car (a coupe or open model) and then their preferred specifications are discussed at length with Rod who will offer enhancements and the finer details. Entering the production area was a sight to behold.

We were surrounded by a dozen 356s at varying stages ranging from dismantling to re-creation. To see examples of the three primary models under construction, an Outlaw, an Emory Special and an Emory RS was mouthwatering. The operation runs like a well-oiled machine with attention to detail highly apparent everywhere we looked. Grafting Porsche 964 componentry to a 356, the meticulous stiffening of a chassis’, Emory – Rothsport Outlaw-4 engines of varying power outputs, the handcrafting of a titanium roof rack combined with both subtle and tasteful custom features as well as concourse quality finish is what makes these cars ‘stand alone’ in the custom 356 world. The Emory RS currently under construction (opposite) generated enormous interest at the 2018 SEMA.

It was only by chance I came across this storey after asking Grant George about a T-shirt he was wearing which had an unusual branding. Grant’s modesty was quite apparent and he appeared unsure whether it would be of interest to the overall club membership, as it was specific to one type of car. I had a quite different view and insisted Grant send me the complete article for publication in our club newsletter. None of us knows what Heaven looks like but I think in Grant’s case, this might be as close as it gets??

Memories of Emory: The Inner Sanctum


Although the exterior design appears somewhat radical, the 356 DNA remains most apparent. The 964 underpinnings will be complimented with one of those special engines that will develop 400hp. The 356 Universe eagerly awaits the completed car this year. We were taken into the holding area of the factory. A mixture of at least twenty customers 356s were carefully stored over two levels, awaiting their recreation.

Our host was only too pleased to impart his considerable knowledge throughout our visit. Back at the offices, we exchanged mementos – Rod kindly presented us with Emory Motorsports Outlaw T-shirts. He in turn gratefully accepted an Australian Porsche 356 Register badge.

Footnote The following day we visited the amazing Petersen Automotive Museum in LA which was featuring “The Porsche Effect Exhibition” – a finest collection of some of the most unique models. The Emory Motorsports fastidiously restored Porsche 356/2-063 Gmund SL (#46) on display was the most iconic model that ‘started it all’ with the significant class win at the 1951 Le Mans event.

Many thanks to Rod and the Emory memories.

2000 Honda Prelude VTI R

The last Honda Prelude was sold in 2000. This car has a 2.2 litre VTI R engine with a 5 speed manual transmission and runs only on high octane fuel. Having owned two Mazda MX5's, Liz and I decided to change to a more compatible car. I searched around locally and found the Honda for sale which was owned by a local doctor. It filled all the requirements and made our longer runs with the club more enjoyable. As this car was purchased for club runs only it does very little mileage.
