NEWSLETTER - JUNE 2015
1966 FORD THUNDERBIRD
Here is another fine example of cars we have in our club. Rex and Delores Murrell have owned this lovely
Thunderbird for about seven years. Although they have done some things to the car in the past seven
years, the car had already been restored prior the purchase.
The car is quite often out and about being used for club events, Kana, Cobden fest and for just pure
enjoyment and love of motoring. The lowering and raising of the roof brings joy to those who just love
engineering at its best. This is an amazing site to see the engineering feat of the American’s back in the
sixties.

change a run destination and may be changed at the departure point. If in doubt, please check with the Run

Funny Photo’s
Jockers Corner;
The joys of daughters! The daughter asks her dad, “Dad there is something that my boyfriend said to me, that I didn’t understand.” “He said that I have a beautiful chassis, lovely airbags and a fantastic bumper.” Her Dad said, “You tell your boyfriend that if he opens your bonnet and tries to check your oil with his dipstick, I will tighten his nuts so hard that his headlights will pop out and he will start leaking out of his exhaust pipe.” Older Ladies; Sitting on the side of the highway waiting to catch speeding drivers, a Police Officer sees a car puttering along at 22kph. The driver, obviously confused, says to him, “Officer I don’t understand, I was doing exactly the speed limit. What seems to be the problem?” “Maám,” the officer replies, “ you weren’t speeding but you should know that driving slower than the speed limit can also be a danger to other drivers.” “Slower than the speed limit. No sir, I was doing the speed limit exactly twenty two kilometres an hour,” the old women says proudly. The Police Officer, trying to contain a chuckle, explains to her that 22 is the Highway number, not the speed limit. A bit embarrassed, the women grins and thanks the officer for pointing out her error. “But before I let you go maám, I have to ask if everyone in this car is Ok? These women seem awfully shaken and they haven’t made a peep this whole time,” the officer says. “Oh they’ll be right in a minute officer. We just got off Highway 189.” Not to bright; A not-too-bright but beautiful blonde was driving home one night when she was caught in a terrible storm. The hailstones were as big as golf balls, and her car was dented badly. Next day at the auto shop, a repairman decided to have a little fun at her expense. "To fix the dents in the body," he said, "drive home, park the car, and when the tailpipe is cool, get down on your knees and blow really hard into the tailpipe, and the dents will pop out. Later, a girlfriend of the blonde is driving by and sees her friend on her knees, blowing hard into the tailpipe. She asks what's going on and is told the story. The girlfriend laughs. "Well, duhhh! You need to roll up the windows first, silly!" Dedicated Locksmith; Someone at the auto repair shop locked the owners key’s inside the car. While the locksmith was working on the driver’s side door lock, the anxious owner walked up and tried the passenger’s side door, it opened. The locksmith looked up. “Yeah, I have already unlocked that one.”
