Hi, we live in Bunbury WA and are new to the Forum. We have 2 Muscle cars at the moment, a 1968 RS/SS Camaro with a BB 396 350hp engine, apparantley under 3000 Camaro's with these options. We also have a 1967 Chevelle with a churpy 327 and 700r trans, this is currently for sale on the site.
We also have a couple of hot rods, one is a 27 T Roadster drag car and a couple of Chevy pickup's (an 89 which is our daily driver and a 70 which is on its way from the States at the moment.)
Photos of the Camaro and Chevelle are attached, hope it works.

Not often enough, that's why we are inquirying about any cruises that you guys may know about. We have sort of organised an informal group of American Muscle cars owners down here that have in the past gone on cruises on Sundays but it is hard work keeping people enthusiastic! Busselton also have a group that are going on a cruise this Saturday, some Corvette owners are coming down from Perth for it I think, should be about 30 cars they said.

Surely there is more to go to other than Big Als?

It would be nice to have a US Muscle type club in Perth. I'm sure there are a few more specific model type clubs, but I haven't heard anything about a general US Muscle club.

Maybe that is something that could be apart of this forum? Actually have a Cruise section with the seperate states listed for members in those states to set up informal cruise runs etc...

????

Mitch

That is a great idea, I was just thinking about putting some details about a chrome bumper weekend at the Collie Motorplex on the 9th of November and some tame drag racing on Saturday 8th Nov. Were taking as many cars as we can drive!!
If other people put any events on that they know about or hear about we could get something going.

All I do to post pics is to send them to my own email and Outlook makes all of the pics smaller and I can then post them up here. seems to be the quickest way. ;)

Try this one baz.

*Open Paint Box - Programs, Accessories, Paint
*Click file and find your picture
*Click Image and select size/skew
*Reduce the Horizontal and Vertical size, preferrably by the same amount ie. it says 100% so make it say 80% and see how it looks
*When you have got your picture too the right size, so you can see it on the screen click file / save as / type a name and select jpeg format.

There might be an easier way but have a go and have a few practice runs and see how ya go.:D

Yes Paul ,the last one. I've made a point of getting pics of each new camaro ive seen just to keep my own records of whats around. I used to do it as a kid just on mustangs as my dad was in the mustang owners club with a 73 convertible and a genuine 68 gt350 shelby. We have some great old hard copys from early eighties when most of the mustangs were all converted to RHD. Weve only had a camaro for two years but i always loved them as a kid.
I will try to post all of my local camaro pics for all to see over the next week or so. Should i start a new thread or add them to an existing one?
