Yet another dinner ticket is now for sale :(
My bro in law has just received instructions from his doctor that he is not to go. The poor bloke has been unwell for ages and was looking forward to the trip to Newcastle too.
If anyone needs late ticket I can negotiate with you to get at least something back for Peter, hes a pensioner and cant really afford to lose all the money. Although I am sure he would accept some sort of loss.
Cheers

Umm I have no idea what they are Mick, sorry, I reckon Keith might know them though as he is our table master.
Hopefully Keith1962 will see this and contact you If not I will chase Keith up
Peter Baldry is out and Hux - Glenn Huxley is in
I was actually thinking of contacting you and notifying the change but you well and truly beat me to it. I hope the change is not going to inconvenience you too much.
whilst you are looking at that ticket, I might as well fess up... I could not remember Jeremy's last name so put him down as Jeremy Ford lol His actual name is Jeremy Horton.
Cheers

Hi Mick.
I sent Keith a pm and I am glad I did as he is away right now working out of town and he cant read the forum.
He can't remember which ticket was Pete's but our small block of tickets starts at number 189. I hope this is of some help to you, sorry we cant be more specific.

Hi, Guy's
I am not replying to any one in particular,but the "JOKE" reference really needed attention
My Name is Rob Macedon and i am the president of The GT Club inc..there were 4 of us present on the night.
Firstly let me appologise to anyone who may have been offended by either our presence or anything that may have been said or done on the evening,
Our intention was th Honour Harry Firth on his birthday and catch up with our club patron Fred Gibson..the organisers of the event had done such a good job that a couple of our guys enjoyed the evening and beverages a bit too much
As soon as i noticed i sorted the problem as there was no way i was going to allow The GT Club inc to be left in disrepute on such an important event .
Harry is KING to both ford and holden people...but i am both plus a bit of chrysler
Besides GT's..i have owned many Holdens of substance...and only fecently decided to keep only one of each..
I currently own...
Billy Gray/Bob Tindall GMP&A Black no 29 hatch/sports sedan.
Panamar green 4door A9X
Salamanca L34 -high output
Linament LC GTR
67 Brabham special HB series 1
One ex streetmachine of the year nomanee..Full chassis torana 11.1 @121 mph just for fun..
Not ringing my own bell,but these are holdens i own,oh yes i also own .
VN Group a #23...phase 3 beater at a GT run....
My philosophy in life is show me don't tell me...
Visit our site /Forum and see that we are a metro sexual bunch and love all cars of substance.
www.thegtclubinc.freeforums.org
Please accept our friendship and look at the bigger picture honouring Harry Firth is why we were there
Regards
Rob Macedon
ps if anyone wants to see some pics of my cars,just ask

At any event you will always get one or two people that decide to take things too far as was seen at the AMCM a few years ago, it's not limited to any one club or make though.I didn't see it but I heard about it on Sunday though I was just told a couple of people were asked to leave becausethey decided to have too much to drink.

I'm sure all will accept your apology Rob.
Feel free to hang around here a bit. You have some nice torana's and need to come back to the side of Right
If you have some pics you could link up, open a thread in the Projects forum.

Thanks Mick,as you know people who have no respect as at the AMCM and think it's all about them,leave all with a bad oppinion about the majority when the offenders are usually a minority.
One point though it was Dave our secretary who took Bob home no one asked any of our members to leave ,just Bob in his enebriated state shouted out Ford and that was as far as it went...so maybe the drink got to some more enthusiasts and they were ushered out. As i said i took care of our possible indiscresion before it became one.
As guests i would have been mortified if one of our members would have brought our club into disrepute.
On the other hand what a top night,i saw some old faces i hadn't seen for some time,
And so many i expected to see that were not there ?
i suppose Friday night is hard,but we had to be there to honour 'Harry Firth" the father of the GT falcon in this country IMO.
We are proud to have Harry Firth as member 90 of The GT Club inc,and that gift being presented by our patron was GOLD.
Grant,thanks mate and i will post some pics in the projects section,and hopefully we can all be friends and possibly do a joint run or some of your forum /clubs/members want to tag along on a run they will be more than welcome.
mick will testify that i am not controlled by the one eyed monster...
Like the Indian Chief said when they asked him what type of woman do you preffer????????
He answered....Big ,Fat ,Tall ,Small me #uck em all ...
Thank you all for your understanding and we llok forward to a long association...
Regards
Rob Macedon

I think the Ford/Holden thing sometimes goes too far..Like Rob I have owned both...just I prefer the GMH product...I would say, as enthusiasts of muscle cars, we need all the voices combined we can get...so therefore need to stick together...down the road...when this fuel thing gets ugly and they want to do what happens in Japan and ban cars over 5 years old...we need to be a single standing voice as a group.....So I think the invitation of a combined muscle car run is a brilliant idea...we all appreciate the power...of all m/c types...how better to show the pollies and the general Jo Bloggs public we are are a UNITED group of enthusiasts??....and dont even THINK of trying to ban them..

Very noble on your behalf but it is upto the person who caused the trouble to apologise, not you.
AND I don't think anyone was offended by your presence being Ford people as we were all there to celebrate Harry's life with the motoring fraternity which as all know included Ford people.
To get drunk and be a loud mouth on a night that was designed to honour the great man Harry Firth was very immature and very rude.
I was on the table next to what was happening and I was not impressed at all.
Nor was I impressed by all those that waffled on with their friends while Fred and Harry were talking as well with the auction that was being held to raise much needed money for Ronald McDonald House.
Unfortunately it only takes one or 2 peanuts to ruin it for everyone and that goes for all groups, GMH, Ford, Chrysler or even the local ladies bowls club
I enjoy all types of Muscle Cars, Chargers, Monaros, Toranas, Mini Cooper S and yes I will even admire the likes of the GTHOs'

Yes, good point, it was very rude all those people who continued to chat on while the special guests tried to talk. I was initially surprised to see the Ford guys there, but they had as much right to be there as anyone as it was a celebration of Harry Firth and considering the other guests on hand as well. I enjoyed the night but I was pretty much buggered and left a little early so I missed what happened, not being much of a drinker myself it always annoys me when guys can't control themselves after a few too many. As I said though, you'll get one or 2 in every bunch.

Thanks for the input and once again the guys were there for the right reasons,and harry is such a character,how about the bike stories man he has done it all..
I think you are right that people who continued to speak over the guests ie Fred Gibson and Harry firth,were a bit anoying and would have made it hard to hear at the back.
That was history in the making boys,"The Master and his apprentice" i had a top night,sorry again...i have spoken to the inebriated gentleman and he is so humble usually,and is so distresed that he may have brought his club and himself into disrepute.
As i put it by my sending him to the cab early and Dave having to take them to the motel,they robbed themselves and Dave of a once in a lifetime opportunity...i stayed till the end and was able to see and talk to both Harry and Fred..
I was fortunate enough to be sitting at table 9 with Max Stahl and Bruce Mcphee,i had a long chatt with Max,he is a great guy,sadly Mr Mcphee we only exchanged smiles and a handshake,
I have great respect for him as he drove the Monaro that would ultimately beat my XT-GT 9D car at bathurst...he is a true champion..
Sorry i didn't stop and chat Mick but i was on the go for most of it,and at the end when i was a bit free ,i could not see you as you said you left a little early.
Regards
Rob Macedon

What an amazing evening and what a great speaker Harry is. His recall of events is phenominal.
Keith mate I am soooooooooo glad you talked me into attending.
Sadly we were stuck down the back and yes one of the Ford guys was a tad loud but he wasnt the only one, others around the room ( Torana people included) insisted on chatting whilst the guest speakers were talking. To say the least that's extremely inconsiderate guys!
Highlander I am glad to took control of the situation, I appreciate that. Lets say I was starting to get a tad agitated and cast a few looks in the direction of that table. Thanks mate.
Better tickets for us next year eh guys, somewhere near the front would be great
Great venue, excellent speakers and lovely food.
Cheers
