Jan Works
(Is that right, Jan??  I have this
HORRIBLE mental block that I can’t break – I keep wanting to call
Jan something else…. ‘nice’ that is!  Jan had nothing to report.

9.
We have 2 new babies in the club!!  Pat & Jan Works have a new yellow
C6!!  They are going to take it out
for a ‘test drive’ (Keep it on the asphalt, Jan!)  And of course, Ron Jobes received his
new 2008!!  Wow, what a beauty and
of course CLEAN!  Can’t
believe he drove it here!

10.
Nick
– brought a PACE CAR – he even brought the paperwork if anyone
wanted to purchase it on sight (That’s why he’s great in Sales!)  Any one interested in a new 2007, he is
authorized to sell for $1K over sticker, with the exclusion of the Z06.  THIS
DEAL IS FOR CORVETTE SUPER SPORTS ONLY – Nick’s Cell Phone: 714.478-9511.  Nick mentioned rumor that the Corvette
body style will not change until 2012.

We also wish Geno locating a new job, very soon.

12.
Our sincere thanks to Jim and Elaine Cooper for our Mystery Run last month!!!  Wow, did we have a blast and too many
Krispy Crème Donuts!!!  We
had an awesome drive – gee, how can you not have an awesome drive when
driving a Corvette!!  We went to Miller’s
in Huntington Beach
- amazing!  The owner has an
unbelievable car collection!!  The
décor made me feel so old!!
Does anyone remember the old Coke machine that had the metal slots, you
slid the bottle down to this little opening and if you paid your money (what, a
nickel?) you could pull up your Coke out of the machine!  And I saw a “Nesbitt” bottle
machine!  I had to keep a close
watch on Tim Pearson – he used to carry around a bottle opener – go
to the Coke machine with the vertical glass door, open the door, open the
bottle locked tightly in the machine with his bottle opener and had a cup to
catch the Coke running out!  Innocent
Tim!  Since we have so many
‘officers’ in the club, what is the statue of limitation??  J  Jim Cooper also mentioned that
Miller’s has contributed a lot for our car show!

13.
Big Bear
Bash!!! – Every year, out of the goodness of their hearts, Garry
and Shirley put on a fabulous party for us and we would like to express our
sincere appreciation.  Shirley
thanked us for herself and Garry.

having a club event up in Big Bear, before the snow arrives.  Shirley and Janet are investigating
several options and will keep us informed!
