Presidential Ponderings
Well not much to say this month.
New Year’s Day Cruise has been and gone for another year with about 17 cars attending, disappointing
only one South West member attended given we headed in that direction. Well done Dave & Cheryl.
A reminder that as has been the case over the last few years there will be no April Meeting at the club
rooms this year on account of most of the committee being at the Nationals in Melbourne. We may have an
impromptu meeting in Melbourne if we have a quorum.
I’m sure everyone has noticed the price of fuel plummeting in the last few weeks so let’s make the most of it
and get our cars out and use them. Don’t think the cheap fuel will last long. I’m as guilty as the next guy
lately working 3 weekends out of 4 and not getting the cars out, although I have had the two wheel
tractors(Harleys) out a bit.
I had a phone call from a gentleman recently who had sold a car that may have been re-bodied prior to his
ownership, the current owners lawyer is now suggesting court cases and possibly up to$100k restitution.
As you would expect he was pretty upset by the whole situation. Don’t think we can say this enough if
you’re looking at a car get one of our club gurus to look at it with you, I know if I were contemplating out
laying a large sum on a car I’d be getting someone a lot more knowledgeable than myself to look at it with
me. Even if you have to pay for the service its money well spent.
Keep those photos, stories, jokes, what’s hidden in your shed etc coming in so we’ve got something
besides adverts to read in the magazine.
Drive safe and see you on the road in your GT.
Regards Rob
New Year’s Day Cruise
Members reaction to a drinking hole not being open on a public holiday
Always a great spot for a chat with fellow members, a good pub meal and a quite pint, the
good old Ravenswood. Beautiful at Sunset.
Editorial
First for a while
A great thank you to Gary Thirlwell for performing the Editor duties for the last few
months. I have run out of excuses so back into it.
While family, home and work seem to consume our time it was good to get out on a
cruise on New Years Day, even managed to empty the boot load of NOS XY parts.
The last time I saw that many wide open eyes, Peter Shelley just lost it on a bend at
a hill climb and was making a headlight tail light headlight movement straight
toward a gathering of members.
Looking at the many posts on our Facebook page it really is the place to keep
abreast of happenings and exchanges between members, there is a lot of
information and suggestions that gets exchanged. Nice to see what members are
doing with and without cars.
As the Prez mentioned, No April Meeting at the club rooms, there wont be a quorum
of committee members, I will try my hardest to get a magazine out by the end of
March for April, any contributions from members would greatly assist. We have a
insight into a members car from its first days with a well documented history.
Check out Greg’s article. While we don’t always know about the past history with as
much detail it is a great way to get to appreciate these memories of years gone by.
If you have any information that you think fellow club members would be
interested in drop me a line and see how it can be incorporated as a news item.
See you all at a meeting soon.
Cliff.

brokers may push the TISC (SA) product (which is, in the eyes of the CMC, not as good a
product) over the existing product – will need to wait and see what happens.

CMC Delegates Report:
-
-
-
-
Code 404: ongoing, Dept seem to not have their act together.
Code 404 30km limit: Calrified that the 30km limit is not a hard limit. You are able to travel
beyond this limit for test/tune/repairs etc however you require club approval. Under 30km limit
doesn’t require club approval.
Looks like checks will be increased. Gary suggested use of Team App to manage approvals –
CMC OK with this approach.
Public Liability Insurance:clarified that it is a change of Broker, not insurer. Only concern at the
moment is that when renewal is due, the new broker may push th SA policy which isn’t as
good as the policy we currently have.
CTP Insurance Changes – Govt had put out a green paper seeking submissions. Submissions
have now closed (24/12). CMC put in a submission.
From / regarding the green paper:
Cost will be % based increase on current policy
Payouts will not be lump sum, but will be drip fed
CMC calculated will raise $2 Mil / year, outlay only $6Mil over last few years combined
(additional money for govt.)
CMC seeked assurances that code 404 will be exempt
Now waiting for an outcome.
Gary noted that irrespective of outcome, rego appears to have gone up $100 already, and
that even with the increase, our rego / ctp insurance is still cheaper than most other states.
AHMF – there have been discussions by the AHMF that there is room for a 3 rd association, to
represent modified car.
AHMF wants to only be concerned with historic cars
ASRF only deals with Hot-rods (Pre-49)
General Business


Insurance Values – Jan noted that he has just received the renewal for his GT and the
insurance company has de-valued his car again – had 20K taken off the value. Wanted to
know if he was isolated, or if it was more widespread. Urged members to check their
values/policies.
Other members noted they hadn’t had issues, maybe it was unique to his Insurer
(Lumleys).
GT Nationals 2015
Convoy Itinerary – Rob will distribute next week
Rooms – lots of people didn’t reply to email. Marlene will confirm the rooms we have, and
give the others back.
Jackets – Greg enquired where they were at. Gary noted he will have info soon.

Something here to offend everyone!!!
I was in the gym yesterday and I said to my trainer “Which
machine can I use to impress that good looking blonde over there”
He looked at me and said “Try the cash machine outside you fat
Bastard”
Shoulda gone to Specsavers!
THINGS TO KNOW:
Many years ago in Scotland , a new game was invented.
It was ruled 'Gentlemen Only...Ladies Forbidden'.. ....
And thus, the word GOLF entered into the English language.

The first couple to be shown in bed together on prime time TV was Fred
and Wilma Flintstone.

Coca-Cola was originally green..

It is impossible to lick your elbow.

111,111,111 x 111,111,111

Q..... If you were to spell out numbers, how far would you have to go
until you would find the letter 'A'?

Irish blonde...
An attractive blonde from Cork, Ireland , arrived at the
casino. She seemed a little intoxicated and bet twenty
thousand dollars in a single roll of the dice.
She said, "I hope you don't mind, but I feel much luckier
when I'm completely nude." with that, she stripped from
the neck down, rolled the dice and with an Irish brogue
yelled, "Come on, baby, Mama needs new clothes!"
As the dice came to a stop, she jumped up and down and
squealed. "Yes! Yes! I won, I won!" She hugged each of
the dealers, picked up her winnings and her clothes and
quickly departed.
The dealers stared at each other dumbfounded.
Finally, one of them asked, "What did she roll?" The
other answered, "I don't know - I thought you were
watching."
MORAL OF THE STORY
Not all Irish are drunks, not all blondes are dumb, but
all men... are men!

FOR SALE
Hi there.
Jim here. I used to attend your cruises back in 1996 and you will see my
blue Xb GT coupe in one of your photos of all U.S. Outside the brookton
shell servo (from memory) anyway, regretful sale but selling my jg66
coupe. It's done 350km in the last 10years. I have a shed full of ford
parts, coupe shells, motors, panels, doors, all that hard to find
stuff.. I thought you would be a good place to start as to anyone you
may know wanting a real nice coupe. You seemed to know a lot of
enthusiasts back then. My number is 0403779599 or email if you can help
- or even what would be a fair asking price.
Thanks very much.

MEMBER CONTRIBUTION
ONYX BLACK XY GT
Over the past few years, I have been able to document the history of a rare car that Gemma
and I have the pleasure of owning ie an Onyx Black XY GT.
Firstly, an outline of the car is that it is one of only six black XY GT’s, five being
automatic and one manual – being our car. In other words, this is the only manual Onyx
Black XY GT.
The car also has rare factory options, being delete body stripes, left and right hand external
mirrors and black interior.
Attached is a picture of the car as it is today.
More importantly is the ownership history which commences with the car being ordered
specifically for Peter Warren of Peter Warren Ford. Peter Warren owned arguably one of
the most successful dealerships in Sydney that ordered and distributed rare Australian
muscle cars. For example, our Raw Orange white interior GTHO Phase 3 was also a Peter
Warren car. But, back to the Onyx Black XY GT, Peter Warren had dealer-fitted options
such as white interior with Hawaiian inserts (see photo attached), reflective orange body
stripes and Sport 52 wheels.
The first owner of the car, Ron Roberts, spotted the car as it was delivered in the
showroom and convinced Peter Warren to sell them the car. Ron describes how Peter had
bought a new mustang and didn’t want to keep both cars. I suspect the Onyx Black XY
GT is worth far more than a run of the mill, produced in their thousands, Mustang!
Ron and Cathy Roberts owned the car for about 7 years, during which time they relocated
their family from Sydney to Darwin. They loaded up the GT with trailer, family and roof
racks to make the long trip from Sydney to Darwin. Some of the road was unsealed!
The pictures provided show the car in two locations along this trip, one of the pictures
regularly appears in Muscle Car magazines as it is not often these cars were used in remote
locations of Australia..
I thought I would share this short story and the photos with you regarding our unique car
and its very interesting history, as the history of these cars is often lost over a period of
time. I hope you enjoy this.
