FE-FC Holden Discussion Forum

Grey Pride, the annual combined run for early Holden clubs from Sydney, Canberra and in between is on again.

Grey Pride will be hosted this year by the FE-FC Holden Car Club of NSW. As always, it is on the 3rd Sunday in May (the week after Mothers' Day), at The Market Place in Berrima ($2). Berrima is located in the Southern Highlands, and has many antique, craft and knick-knack shops, if you tire of checking out the 100 or so cars on display. There is also a variety of food available in the town, or stay close by and enjoy the sausage sandwiches and other delights available from the FE-HR Holden Owners' Club ($2) barbecue at the event.

A couple of changes this year you should be aware of:

• This year's event is a fundraiser for JDRF ($2), the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation, as part of their May "Jelly Bean Month" drive. JDRF merchandise will be available for sale at the event, and we would ask that all entrants make a gold coin donation towards this very worthwhile cause.
  
  
• Two entrants' choice trophies will be offered at the event, for the Most Popular Grey Powered and Most Popular Non-Grey Powered vehicles. Non-grey means modified early or non-grey powered later model
  
  

You can find more information at the FE-FC HCC NSW site ($2), or download the official flier ($2).

Come along and show your true colours by going Grey at Grey Pride on Sunday May 17.

Grey Pride 2009 is very close now - the weather forecast appeass to be that any rain on Saturday will have gone.  Wear warm clothes and buy a hot lunch from the BBQ put on by the ACT club.

See you there.  Surely I won't break down on this run again this year!!!

Cheers
David

Who won the judging this year   ??? ???.......FC427......

I had to leave a bit early due to unsettled daughters  ::) ::) so missed the trophy presentation.

Can anyone fill us in?

Greg, your car gets better looking every time I see it (http://www.gmh-torana.com.au/forums/style_emoticons/default/spoton.gif)

Hey Guys,
The favourite Grey powered car was Teds race car
The favourite Non-grey powered car was a Chev powered EK
What an awesome day!
Paul

I heard it was this Ek and Teds race car that won the awards.
Thanks Craig for the positive comments on the car.
Regards ,Greg.

Nice photo's of the event, Ted's 13th Nats car look great, looks like there were some really nice cars there :)

Did everyone travel without incident, I hope so. Makes the day so much better if that was the case.

Regards

Keith

Er, Greg, GMH did make another similar altogether prettier - and rarer - model called the FE you know and besides Rusty's there were some of them at Grey Pride :P

Cheers
John

John half of them were still in Primer and everyone knows the Fe is the ugly duckling. ;D ;D ;D

John i also know someone who gets good prices on camera's ,i can give his number if you would like it. ;) ;)

Now, now, Greg.

I just didn't want those who weren't there to think that in NSW we aren't discriminating enthusiasts and can only afford common cars........

Cheers
