27/08/2022 - Coming Up Next Month: Doug Chivas Memorial Track Day at Collie Motorplex 2022

It's time to get your cars ready for the 2022 Doug Chivas Memorial Track Day at Collie Motorplex!! 

We need more entries from club members this year so please get your ride ready and down there on Saturday the 27th of August.

If your ride is fast or slow it doesn't matter, you'll be grouped with similar paced cars and you'll have a great day!

Check out the link for some photos from past events.

Please download and read/fill in the 5 documents below.

 

This year we're wanting to really streamline the cars getting onto the track in their correct groups based on skill and speed, and so we are following this lane format. The cars that are more competitive and wish to go faster go in the left lane/s, and drivers who are newer to circuit racing or are in slower cars in the right lane/s. Cars that are double entered will go into the furthest-right lane. This will be covered in the drivers briefing too.

10/07/2022 - Sponsors on the move - Dynamic Pitstop

Dynamic Pitstop

Dynamic Changes Ten Years On…. 

Dynamic Style Photography and Dynamic Pit Stop are implementing some significant changes to services offered.

This is due to Tony and Tamara adjusting their workloads and focus. With the help of our customers Dynamic Pit Stop has developed more into an online business, both wholesale and retail that continues to grow.

After 10 years we will be closing the Car Studio, shooting and bookings have already ceased. It has been an absolute pleasure shooting your cars and supplying custom product and specialist images.

Our retail shop will also close around the end of August.

FAQ

Are you closing?  Only the retail shop and car studio. We will continue with phone and online sales.

Is that the end of Miss Perth Pinup Competition?  Not at all, shooting will only be at our Wanneroo Studio. Hopefully, time permitting, the next will be later this year.

Will you still be supporting car clubs and events? Absolutely, as much as we can!

Will we still see your display truck at events? DefinitelyThis in fact will become more of our focus.

I really want my Car/ Bike photographed before you close the studio, can you fit me in? As much as we would like to, sorry no. In the last week or so many past clients have said “please, please”. Sorry at this stage time does not permit. If this changes, we will contact those on the (growing) list.

Can you photograph my car at your other studio? Our Clarkson studio was specifically designed for cars. To get those amazing results it took an amazing studio. Our other studio is more designed for retro pinups. Long answer to say no, sorry.

What about Pounce Mobile Pet Photography? Pre Covid it was off to a great start, we haven’t re activated since things have opened up, purely because we haven’t had time. It is our intention, within the next year or so to re-launch.

Will you continue to add to your selection of locally made signs and products? Always.  

What about your staff? Everybody has a role in the new structure. 

Can I still get custom signs? Yes, that is our speciality. Just pick up the phone or order online.

What will be your trading hours?  As they are now Monday to Friday 8.30am-4.30pm

Will you have a showroom? Yes, invitation only, located in Wanneroo.

Summary

Tony, Tamara and staff are really excited about this new direction, it is sad to lose the Car and Bike shoots, we have had a blast! This is also about us getting some time back.

We are not closing, just moving in different directions.   Thanks Everyone!   

Onwards we go.

27/05/2022 - Historic and restricted use Stickers and plates

Just a Reminder about Concessional Licensing
The Club’s Concessional Licensing web page  https://www.chargerclubofwa.asn.au/concessional-licensing.asp  has the details of both concession types available to Club members – these being the Concessions for Classics (C4C) and the Veteran, vintage, post vintage or invitational vehicle concessions (404). If you are interested in concessional licensing then please read the information accessible on the page including access to the relevant Department of Transport (DoT) web pages.
If you want to put your vehicle on to C4C concession it is a simple and relatively quick process. First download the E116 application form from the DoT website, fill in your and your vehicles details and declaration then email it to the Club’s Concessional Licensing officer to fill in the Motoring Club Declaration. The completed E116 will then be emailed back to you and you then email it to DoT for processing.
If you wish to put your vehicle on a 404 concession, then contact the Club’s Concessional Licensing officer at concessionallicensing@chargerclubofwa.asn.au who will assist you with the process as it will involve an inspection of your vehicle by a Club scrutineer to verify that it conforms to the rules regarding originality.

C4C concessional licence vehicle label
The Department of Transport has reverted their C4C vehicle label conditions to the following:
Must display one identifier label stating ‘restricted use’, either to the front or rear of the vehicle, which is to be affixed above or below the number plate without obscuring it, to identify that the vehicle has restricted road use.
They have confirmed the original condition where only one ‘Restricted Use’ sticker or plate is required per vehicle for C4C.
‘Restricted Use’ stickers can be purchased at Club meetings for $10 each. The alternative aluminium composite plates cost $25 each and can also be purchased at Club meetings. They are larger than the vehicle number plate and are fixed behind it with the ‘RESTRICTED USE’ wording and Charger Club information showing below the vehicle number plate.
 
404 concessional licence vehicle labels
The Department of Transport has withdrawn their previous advice and confirmed that their 404 vehicle label conditions remain as follows:
‘Veteran’, ‘Post Vintage’, ‘Vintage’ or ‘Invitation’ or ‘Historic’ to be affixed in the form of a sticker or plate affixed above or below each of the vehicle's number plates.
They have standardised on the word ‘HISTORIC’. (The other descriptive labels remain acceptable). Vehicles on a 404 concession require a sticker/plate for each number plate, i.e. two per vehicle.
‘Historic’ stickers can be purchased at Club meetings for $10 each. The alternative aluminium composite plates cost $25 each and can also be purchased at Club meetings. They are larger than the vehicle number plate and are fixed behind it with the ‘HISTORIC’ wording and Charger Club information showing below the vehicle number plate.

09/04/2020 - President letter

Charger Club of Western Australia
From the President

 
Dear Valued Club Members to you and your Families,

It was very unusual that I sent you all a briefing last week with the newsletter and completely out of the ordinary I send you one again this week, but due our ever-changing environment we are living in today, I need to keep you informed of the activities in and around our wonderful Club.

Our environment is changing day by day with the current Covid19 crisis, as most of you will be aware most eating venues are now closing down and well as our much loved Pubs, Clubs, Casino and social gathering points.

The Belmont Sports and Recreation Club is one such venue and we have now informed that they are closed for business until further notice, so it is with a heavy heart that I have to cancel our upcoming April Club meeting along with all planned Club events until such time as this crisis is over and we come out the other side.

Behind the scenes your committee is still conversing regarding Club issues and agenda items that need to be addressed. If you have any issues regarding the Club please contact one of our Committee who will raise it as an item on our agenda.

As always your health, safety and welfare are a major consideration in everything we do at the Club.

Mike and Maureen will diligently update us all weekly as usual so please continue to enjoy and interact with your Club through this avenue until further notice.
 
 
Thank You for Your Patience and Understanding
John Hartley
President
Charger Club of Western Australia

12/08/2019 - Life member/ Member of the year

Life Member 2019

Paul Monkhouse

Tonight (12-8-19), I have the honour and privilege to present the Charger Club’s 3rd Life Membership.

Mr Paul Monkhouse.

Congratulation Paul…this is very much deserved.

Paul has been a member since 2003 and as a club we are very lucky to have Paul as a member, let me add in here that Paul didn’t have a running vehicle for quite some time. Anyway, within a couple of years Paul had become apart of the exclusive committee.

Paul has been secretary, treasurer V.P and The President and He’s still on the general committee…This just show’s Paul’s Love for the club and of course his love for everything Chrysler.

Paul was rebuilding his Charger himself…I’m not sure about the engine but what I do know is that…What Paul didn’t know how to do, He went to night school and learned how to do it himself…that’s commitment. 

I joined the committee 8 years ago and I would joke around and introduce Paul to new members and say…this is Paul our president (or whatever roll he was in at the time) and say…Paul tells us he has a Charger but I’m not quite sure if this is a fact because no one has ever seen it…I did have to change that story because Wayne went to Paul’s one day and BINGO yes he has a Charger 😊

I can’t remember when Paul got his Charger on the road but what a fantastic Job he did.

I would also like to Thank Paul’s Lovely Wife because if it wasn’t for her understanding of Paul’s passion…we may not have Paul with us…so a very big Thank you to Ngaere.

Paul was the person behind getting Leo Geoghegan to our 2011 Everything Chrysler Expo…For that I would personally like to Thank Paul, because personally I have made some amazing Friends…and all the members had the chance to meet the racing legend himself.

Again, Paul was responsible for meeting and inviting Cameron Tilly over here to the west…Again Thank you Paul.

Paul has attended for as long as I can remember all the council of motoring meetings and reported back to the club.

A couple of years ago Paul took over the job of running the Doug Chivas Memorial Collie Track Day, from John Urquhart another huge job.

These are just a few things that Paul does for the club…BUT it really doesn’t stop there, if you notice Paul always has sheets in front of him at all the meetings, he also deals with all the non-club runs.

I’m sure I’ve missed things like the merchandise he always has, but we haven’t got all night.

I’m sure I can count on one hand how many meetings and club runs that Paul has missed. He is always there!!

I’m going to wrap this up now with these parting words…

PAUL YOU ARE AN AMAZING AMBASSADOR FOR OUR CLUB.

AND A HUGE THANK YOU FOR ALL THE HARD WORK YOU HAVE PUT INTO THE CHARGER CLUB OVER THE LAST 16 YEARS.

Kylie Sewell

Vice President

Charger Club of W.A.

02/03/2018 - 2018 Adelaide Chrysler Festival

A small delegation of CCWA Inc. members attended the 2018 Adelaide Chrysler Festival over the weekend and have provided us with a tall tale and lots of photos. I will leave the tale to be told in an unedited format. ENJOY ! “Four of us took a 5.30am flight from Perth which hurt but was worth it to get to Adelaide in time to hit the Birdwood Motor Museum, we also met up with a mate who flew in from Melbourne at the same time. 

 


The museum was awesome with a huge mix of cars, a Bugatti Veyron and FJ45 'Cruiser greet you through the door, plus the last unfinished Commodore shells from the plant closure a few months ago. Out the back a bunch of Chryslers were parked up on the grass and soon the Wimmera Chrysler convoy rocked up including a couple of good mates who would ferry us around all weekend in the Phoenix and the 340 Pacer. After some more beers we were treated to a private viewing of the museum's latest addition, a one-off 1928 Chamberlain 8 Aussie race car that they had just acquired:
Late in the afternoon it was time for the long drive back to the Tonsley Hotel, a couple of us jumped in the VF Pacer and were treated to very tight and twisty roads. Awesome fun!
A huge night in the Chrysler Bar followed, including a session with Gavin Farmer and ex-Chrysler employees recounting stories how the factory went about things.
The party continued in the hotel rooms with some late night pizza thrown in and some sore heads the next morning. The Tonsley Hotel Big Breakfast is quite the hangover cure.

While some of the crew went off on the factory tours, a few of us went to visit the Outlaw Speed Shop, well known for catering to Mopars and stocking lots of cool performance stuff. They also happened to be holding a mini car show out the front!

The quality of cars was OUTSTANDING, so many super tough cars and perfect factory stockers, plus US muscle and a rough survivor CH Hardtop recently found in Ayers Rock.
The cruise circled around the Adelaide CBD, we had a couple of issues navigating but there was always another Valiant to follow, even if they were going the wrong way too...
The finish point was absolutely chockers with people and Mopars and they just kept on rolling in:
After some quality hamburgers it was time for a bit of fun racing on the way back to the Tonsley Hotel for another giant night on the piss. Thanks to all the bar staff for putting up with our antics.
Sunday it was time for the big one. After a rather slow start we headed down, hard to describe how awesome it was being in the factory with so many amazing Chryslers. I guess the pics can do the talking. We had wandered through there in prior years but more areas were open this time including the panel press area where the swap meet was setup. We were all “nerding” out on the nostalgia and history of the place including an awesome booklet published by the club that had a ton of interesting facts and maps of all the areas
I did miss a fair few cars in these pics, was just so many on display.

 

Went to the “meet and greet” at the Tonsley Pub and then the talk by ex-employees of CAL. Saturday some of us went on the historical tour with Gavin Farmer around Adelaide of all the TJ Richards and CAL/MMAL factories. Many are still there as industrial ghosts. 
Saturday night was the cruise were we all piled in the VF and Phoenix to get to the start point and then a few of us getting lifts in a few other locals cars. Cruise was about an hour and finish up we had a feed and wander around to look at some cars and then back to the Tonsley Pub for some discussion and bench racing. Old Ron who is 85 was chatting up the barmaid and did a great job of keeping up with us all.
Sunday was the show that’s walking distance from the pub down to Tonsley Park. I spoke to Iain and he said they had well over 300 cars under the roof and a bunch outside dotted around in car parks. Was the perfect place for a car show. It was all under one roof, there was plenty of food and drink shops built in already. Sadly it’s a one off as the back half is getting demolished soon I’m told. The fact it was in the factory were most of these cars were built just sealed the deal.
.
We guys from the West gave out an award for the car we would most like to drive home across the Nullarbor. Was a VH 318 770 with A/C in Deep Chartreuse. Turned out the car had a great story and the guy who won it was over the moon. Has 69,000 miles on it. We gave him a bottle of red wine and a few Charger Club of W.A stickers. Said he had never won anything in his life and it was his deceased grandfather's car. His grandfather had been killed while serving in the army (I think - was that right Bruce?) 30 years prior and his grandmother had kept it locked away in a tiny garage, even the family didn't know it was there. When she passed away they were clearing out her house and had to break the lock on the shed to then find the VH. The bloke had only put new tyres on it and got it running again after oiling the bores and a service
By Sunday “arvo” it was time to make a move, back to the Tonsley Hotel for the last couple of beers of the trip.
The Chrysler car club of South Australia have to have a “pat” of the back for one of the best Chrysler shows/car shows full stop I have ever been to. Was a mountain of work to get a deal with the state government to get the cars in there for the day. Once they got the go ahead from them it went pretty painless. They had no judging or entry cost to keep it as simple as possible so the club has taken a hit to make this once in a lifetime event happen on their bottom line.”

05/10/2017 - Mopars (kind of) dominate at Nostalgia Drags!

Great effort by Charger Club of WA members and Mopars in general at Nostalgia Drags today! 4 out of the 8 trophy winners were Mopars! (not including Top Gas)

Close, but no cigar, Laxy in his 68 Dodge Charger, Runner Up in US Muscle losing to a car that stalled on the start line.

Great effort by Dick Scaife in his VG Valiant hardtop to win Street Machine class against a very quick Falcon.

Well done Jake Rebrovic in his purple Charger who broke out the least against Steve Hotchkin in his VC Valiant to take the win in Oz Muscle.

This year they used a Chicago Shootout style instead of eliminations. 3 points for a win, 1 point for a loss. Not entirely sure how they chose who went into the finals but it means everyone got 3 runs instead of potentially just one or two if you were eliminated early. Some people didn't know about the new format and left after losing their elimination race not knowing that there were entitled to more races.

I personally had a ball and enjoyed seeing Mopars perform so well on the day! Except Laxy's effort in the final, that was hard to watch :P

Layne.

The Trevor Hedge award for outstanding club person of the year went to Kim Belcastro who takes care of the perpetual trophy for a year. This is the 2nd year Kim has been acknowledged for his great effort helping the club, especially with publicizing events on social media and with great photography.

 

Club person of the year went to Murray McFeggan for his efforts throughout the year promoting the club to people he meets and also for the work in putting together the 20 year anniversary book.

11/04/2016 - Pictures from All Aussie Car Day, Waroona

Thanks again to Paul Berkavikius for the pictures and information.

You can view the full album here.

Hi All,

Some pictures (vals only of course) of the All Australian Card day at Waroona.

Very windy and the oval was a sand pit due to re-grassing work. The oval grass was damaged by the helicopters working on the fires there recently, so they dug the whole lot up.

A few stall holders got sandblasted and they took off, no doubt very unhappy.

All the car displays were mostly up wind on surrounding grassed areas and some were on the basketball courts which was well shielded.

My CK never made it, the radiator had died by the time I got to Glen Forest to pick up Peter, so I left it there and we went down in his car.

I put some stop leak in it when we got back and I nursed it home no problems.

That is the second time the top tank has split at the same point, so I will need to find a better radiator repairer.

There are two pics of Paul Monkhouse with Chris Stone handing over an envelope to a gentlemen there, that is the club handing over a donation to a rep of the Waroona Fire Brigade.

There are two pics of a dark red VJ hardtop, it is for sale for $42,000.

I think it is a 245 Auto.

There were a few nice cars in the car parks too, managed to snap a few of them.

Paul.

15/01/2016 - 2016 is go!

The final meeting of 2015 held at the RAC Driver Education facility was a great success! 8 cars were let out onto the track lined up behind one of the professional drivers in their track spec commodore. Each lap a new car become the 2nd car in the procession to follow the instructor giving everyone a chance to see how close than could keep up to them. No helmets were required so speeds were not very high but still enough to get some spirited driving from the cars, or put around and catch up and the end of each lap if that was your preference.

Juergen also spoke to the members and enthralled everyone with his knowledge and experience of both race and street driving, covering everything from safe seating position in a street car to who on the road is a high risk of accidents (that's race car drivers believe it or not!)

 

 

So now we move into 2016! We've already had our first meeting and the next big event on the horizon is the Super Cruise on 12th March. To refresh your memory how cool the Super Cruise is, you can watch some videos made from the 2014 Super Cruise here.

Motorvation is on next weekend which is more for the 'bogan' crowd or car enthusiast it might be fair enough to say, though the event is defintely family friendly and event organizers do very well and the crowd is always well behaved. A small contingent from the Charger Club of WA will be there to cruise, race and just generally enjoy their own and other peoples' cars.

We're also asking all members to send in info via the 'Members Machine' page of the website so we can share your car! Or if you already have your info on the site, maybe update it with any new info.

01/09/2015 - The Shannons 'Super Rig' is coming!

The Shannons 'Super Rig' will be at the club meeting on 12th October. We'll have a shortened general meeting start at the usual 7pm then spend the rest of the night being entertained by what the 'Super Rig' has!

 

01/09/2015 - Collie Track Day

It was a cold and wet day but it did not seem to dampen the enthusiasm. Notwithstanding the weather conditions the number of entries was at a level which resulted in the event remaining viable. The cost is still around $100.00 for non members and a little less for members of the Charger Club as the Club does subsidise its members with a modest contribution.

There were 36 vehicles entered with 43 drivers, 13 of whom were Club members. In general terms the entrants drove steadily and according to the conditions. Such conditions present a splendid opportunity to gauge what you are able to do as a driver and how your vehicle will behave. I do not believe anyone stopped driving because of the weather conditions but may have withdrawn for other reasons one of which, at Collie, is brake fade.

One of the youngest drivers and a first time entrant was awarded the Memorial Trophy for being the Driver of the Day -- well done Jansen Rebrovic! In discussions with our Track Observers it became obvious to me that Jansen drove within his limits and in a gentlemanly manner, in others words being aware of what is happening on the track around him. Did he receive expert tuition from his father, a previous recipient of the Trophy?

Our helpers must be congratulated in sticking to the task at hand in such inclement weather. They were all exposed to the elements for a long period of time.

It is my belief this event is popular enough for the Club's continued support of the same. In order to maintain numbers we do depend on the attendance of persons outside the Club and in particular the group who travel up from Albany. They are members of the Great Southern Street Machine Car Club. We thank them for their support and participation on a regular basis which has been for a number of years.

John Hartley received the Trevor Hedge Trophy for outstanding contribution to the club throughout the year.

Layne van Smaalen and Kim Belcastro were named as Club Person(s) of the Year. They have both been contributing a lot to the Facebook page and internet presence of the club, hopefully bringing in more people and cars to events and also the club.

Layne has made videos with club members, talking about their cars as well taking video at club events. If you haven't already seen, you can view videos at the YouTube channel.

Kim has become the clubs main photographer and you can see his work from basically all Charger Club of WA events but also any other important motoring events in or around Perth You would see his pictures here on the website, on the weekly email and also on the official Charger Club of WA Facebook page and also the unofficial Facebook group.

Kim also has relationships with many Chrysler and motoring enthusiasts around Perth and has been very helpful in drawing some of the best Mopars in Perth to Charger Club events as well as helping to spread the word of our club.

21/05/2015 - No Superbird :(

Apologies to the public who went to All chrysler day expecting to see the Plymouth super bird and hemicuda. Due to the unforseen weather these two cars couldn't be taken to the event. I did manage to bring two of the four cars that I intended and to the resilient mopar people who attended I trust that they enjoyed the cars that were there. 

I will work alongside the charger club to organize a future event that will enable the public to view all of the cars that I intended to be present. 
All the best frank.

29/03/2015 - Cruise to Bindoon Bakery

The weather was great today for a cruise and so many car clubs seemed to be out on the roads today. About 20 cars left from the start point in Belmont and a concurrent cruise starting from Tomato Lake ended up intermingled with many of the Charger Club cars for much of the journey until they took a different turn off from Roe Highway. 

 

The Charger Club cars almost filled the car park at the Bindoon Bakehaus and Cafe where everyone enjoyed a great lunch and some chit chat.

 

You can view some footage from today at this link on YouTube.

 

The next club event is the Retro Car Sales Yard at Wannero Chrysler/Jeep on 18th April.

09/03/2015 - Everything Chrysler Day - latest news

The monthly Charger Club of WA meeting was on tonight. Of course a lot of the talk was about the upcoming Everything Chrysler Day at the Kwinana Motorplex on May 17th. We've nailed down a major sponsor which is great! Wanneroo Chrysler Jeep Dodge Fiat Alfa are on board again which is awesome! To celebrate we're going to take over their car yard at 2 Baretta Road WANGARA on Saturday 18th April, 8am-1pm with as many old school cars as we can! There will be a sausage sizzle and you can get your Everything Chrysler Day entry forms and more! So come along in your classic Chrysler, Jeep, Dodge, Fiat or Alfa!
              
In other news regarding the Everything Chrysler Day we will again be welcoming cars from the Studebaker car club and from the R&S Series Valiant Car Club. It also looks like we'll have a few Hillman's coming along! Let's see if any of these cars get out onto the motorkhana track.
 
We urge people to pre-enter their cars. We can accept limited cars 'on the day' but due to time constraints on the day they can not be judged.
        
If you want to advertise or sell merch at the Everything Chrysler Day you can sign up for the 'Drifter' package which is just $50 for a business card size advertisement in the show booklet and get some of your merch in the show promotion bag.
 
Or you can sign up for the 'Pacer' package which gets you a trade display, bigger advertisement in the booklet, merch in the show bag and mentions in the announcements throughout the day, for $180.
 
You can even go bigger if you want to so get in touch if you're interested!

02/03/2015 - VALE LEO GEOGHEGAN ( 1936-2015 )

It is with deep sadness and regret that we advise the passing of Leo Geoghegan on the 2nd March.

Leo was a much admired supporter of our club and its major events.

He first came to WA as our guest at the Chrysler Expo 2011, being his first trip west. Following that event, he made subsequent trips west to join in with our members and to make himself available.

Apart from his very successful open wheeler racing achievements, he was instrumental in the development, testing and racing of Pacer’s and Chargers for Chrysler Australia.

Leo was always willing to make himself available to talk to anyone about his experiences in a very relaxed and humorous manner. The information gained from these informal gatherings could never have been obtained other than from Leo himself.

As a result of our clubs contacts through Leo we have made many friends with other Chrysler enthusiasts right across Australia.

Our vice president Kylie Sewell flew over to see Leo last week and spent some special time with him. I know this would have been of comfort to Leo during this time.

Leo was engaged by Chrysler Australia to develop their racing programme during the early 1970s.He made valuable contributions to their aims given his knowledge and experience. All this was achieved on a very limited budget due to local content constraints. The result of all this was that they were able to present very impressive and competitive road cars and race cars. Some of that input and development is still being seen in cars that continue to race today.

Leo was the only race driver to have raced at Bathurst for the Big 3, again another significant achievement.

We will miss Leo and will always hold him in our hearts as an admired racing car driver and friend.

Our thoughts go out to his family and all the motor racing and Chrysler family right across Australia.

No doubt he will be sharing much with his brother Ian (Pete) in the big race track somewhere out there.

CAR LAP TIMES - COLLIE 2014

26/02/2014 - Mopar Wedding

(From Kim Belcastro)I was in Sydney over the weekend for my brother's wedding.Late last year I had been in contact with Andrew Pana from the Regals Mopar Car Club in Sydney to see if he would be interested in helping source a couple of Chrysler`s to use as wedding cars.He volunteered the services of his 1973 383cu in  Plymouth Duster Hardtop and also George`s 1968 383cu in Dodge Dart GTS Hardtop.The Groom and my family were picked up from our apartment at Sydney Towers and taken to Porteno Restaurant in Surrey Hills where the ceremony and lunch were held.Day went off without a hitch (other than the groom and bride getting hitched!).Was rather fitting that my brother was taken to the ceremony in a Mopar as his first ride in a car was in a Mopar (as was mine and my sisters).Also got Dad reminiscing a bit about the Valiant`s and Dodge trucks he had during the 60`s and 70`s !I have attached a couple of photos from the day, thought it may make for an interesting story and also demonstrate the camaraderie that exists between owners of classic cars.Both George and Andrew had never met me or my family prior to the day, in fact Andrew volunteered his services about thirty minutes after I posted the request for a wedding car on the Hemi6Pack.com forum.Great guys and a great day !

19/10/2013 - Busselton Motorfest (Non-club event)

The Busselton MotorFest was first inspired by the long held dream of Ray Dowell of the Busselton Football Club. Ray had no problem finding local "motorheads" to help make the dream of having a local motor show come true! In 2006 the first event attracted about 150 exhibits, and by last years show this was up to more than 340 exhibits. The event continues to be specifically a FAMILY orientated outing that gives everyone the opportunity to show / view a wide range of motor types... be it stationary motors from a past era, vintage and modern vehicles, tractors, bikes, speedway & drag racing beasts, streetcars, or just the pure show of muscle power... (Ford & Holden rivalry is alive and well!). Car Clubs from all over the state also make a significant presence.

16/02/2012 - Thankyou Charger Club of WA

To Ron, Kylie and all Charger Club of WA members,

We would like to acknowledge and thank all club members for their support of the Make a Wish Foundation on the Supercruise day. The foundation, through the generous support of organisations such as yours, allows kids who have dealt with some tough times in their lives to experience some of the more fantastic aspects of life. All recipients of wishes are grateful for the opportunity the support of community groups provides.

On a personal note we would like to thank John for allowing Caidee and I the honour of cruising at the head of the procession, and for his fantastic engagement and patience with Caidee. Ever since that day I think we have a budding Charger owner in our midst! She has not stopped talking about it since (and wants to wear her t-shirt everyday).

Once again thankyou to all we talked to on the day and for your support of the fantastic Make a Wish Foundation.

Dale and Marnie Butler

13/10/2008 - Chrysler, General Motors discuss merger

General Motors Corporation, Chrysler LLC and Cerberus Capital Management LP have held preliminary talks about a merger or an acquisition of Chrysler by GM, according to a person familiar with the talks.

Chrysler, which is 80.1 percent owned by Cerberus, already has a joint venture with GM making a hybrid gas-electric powertrain, and has discussed a full merger or acquisition with GM, said the person, who did not want to be identified because the talks have not been made public.

The negotiations between 100-year-old GM and 83-year-old Chrysler began more than a month ago. The Times said its sources pegged the chances of a merger being completed at "50-50."

The new 2008 Dodge Challenger is has been officially realised. With a starting price tag of just over $40,000 USD it makes for a reasonably priced muscle car. Putting out 425 HP and 420 LB.-FT of torque, and looks to boot, there is no doubt that this is some serious muscle.

24/01/2008 - Revised Dodge Viper - the 2008 SRT10 ACR

Whats special about it? With its optional "Hard Core" package, it's pretty easy to figure out the idea behind the 2008 Dodge Viper SRT10 ACR. This is one for the serious knuckle-draggers, the guys who somehow feel like a standard Viper with its 600-horsepower V10 engine just isn't extreme enough. They want more, although in this case they actually get less, as the ACR is essentially a lightweight, track-ready version of the standard car.

40 pounds of weight have been removed from the car, there is less deadening, no stereo, and in the place of the stereo a lap timer has been inserted. The drivetrain remains untouche and still runs the standard 600HP V10 motor. It comes with adjustable suspension, new front anti-roll bar, better brakes and an adjustable carbon fibre rear spoiler. There is a new variable-geometry front aero splitter that increases down force, with an optional extra centre piece that can be fitted for track only days that will increase the down force by one third.

22/01/2008 - First Production 2008 Dodge Challenger SRT8® Sells

The first production of the 2008 Dodge Challenger SRT8® Sold for $400,000. The proceeds from the auction are going to a charity.

The limited-edition 2008 Dodge Challenger SRT8 features a 6.1-liter HEMI® V-8 engine, HEMI Orange paint, carbon-fiber-like hood stripes and a chrome fuel filler cap. Only 6,400 Challenger SRT8 vehicles will be produced for sale in the United States for 2008; more than 4,300 orders placed the first day the all-new Dodge Challenger SRT8 went on sale.

The winning bid was placed by Craig Jackson, Chairman/CEO of the Barrett-Jackson Auction Company, who bought the first production Challenger without even seeing it. On display at the auction was the Challenger concept, which was introduced two years ago and still drew large crowds at the auction all weekend. Dodge is ecstatic that the sale of the first production 2008 Dodge Challenger SRT8 to roll of the assembly line raised $400,000 for such a worthy cause," said Mike Accavitti, Director — Dodge Brand and SRT Global Marketing, Chrysler LLC. "The introduction of an all-new, modern Dodge Challenger has generated a lot of excitement, and the enthusiasm for the new car was evident on the auction block."

22/01/2008 - STOLEN: 1973 Plymouth Cuda 440 (Sydney)

I have just had my beautiful 440 Cuda stolen from Sydney and wanted to get the word out to all MOPAR lovers that these pricks have stolen my car so they can't sell it to anyone. The VIN/Engine number is, in case someone comes trying to flog parts etc... I personally imported her from Phoenix AZ so as you can imagine I am completely heartbroken. The car was stolen from Sydney on or about 14 Jan 08 and is an original Cuda.

BS23L48 271031 Vin number, the car was running a NOM 440 which had the VIN 271031 stamped on the top of the block. All sheet metal and window sticker, door tag were still on the car so there's a chance that these numbers may come up as parts as well. Some parts are stamped with the same VIN number, the doors have the VIN tags on them as well. Up on top of the dash (like new cars) there is also the VIN number under the glass.

Some less than intelligent car thieves may not know this and just remove the fender tag from under the hood and leave the rest... Don't know how they would steal it as a whole. More likely that they will strip it and try to sell as parts or worse still just rip the 440 outta it to use and destroy the rest. It's something that is of very little value to anyone except the rightful owner.

If anyone knows anything or hears of anything, please have them email me direct on dd8088@gmail.com or phone me on 0422 255 930.

Thanks for your help.

29/05/2007 - Tulsa's Buried Plymouth Belvedere - UPDATE

On Friday, June 15, 2007 at 12:00noon (US time), Tulsa`s Buried Plymouth Belvedere will finally be unearthed! It will be 50 years to the day that the big Plymouth was buried.

"On June 15, 1957, a new gold and white 1957 Plymouth Belvedere Sport Coupe was buried in a time capsule in downtown Tulsa, Oklahoma. The time capsule was part of Golden Jubilee Week: Tulsa's celebration of Oklahoma's semi-centennial. The car is buried under the sidewalk in front of the Tulsa County Courthouse, approximately 100 feet north of the intersection of Sixth Street and Denver Avenue"

"As part of the "Tulsarama!" festivities, citizens of Tulsa were asked to guess what the population of Tulsa would be in the year 2007. The guesses were then recorded on microfilm and sealed in a steel container buried with the car. When the car and artifacts are excavated, the person whose guess is closest to Tulsa's 2007 population is to be awarded the Belvedere."

09/05/2007 - Another great day at Collie

Yet again, another great day at Collie just passed last weekend. There was a large turnout of cars estimated to be around 25 or 30 which made for a wide variety of metal at the track. New and old alike we all had fun - whether it be with twin turbos or with a lot of cubic inches.

Whilst heading down to Collie the rain was a little discouraging but overall the day was not too wet, often with areas drying up between light sprinkles of rain. A dry line appeared on the track after a period of time but that didn't stop a lot of us having traction issues. On the way back to Perth there was a fair bit more rain so really we were quite lucky to have a mostly dry day at the track.

Photos from the day (thanks to Keegan Rowe) can be seen on the Event Pictures page. Trevor Hedge also has some photos posted up on his website here.

25/04/2007 - 2007 Chrysler Sebring

Inspired by the 2003 Chrysler Airflite concept vehicle that was revealed at the Geneva motor show, the all-new Chrysler Sebring’s elegant lines evoke the exterior styling features of the Chrysler vehicle, bringing the Chrysler brand’s expressive design attributes to the mid-size segment.

The Chrysler Sebring includes a host of new technology and features, ranging from a cutting-edge information, entertainment and communication navigation audio system to a heated/cooled front cupholder for keeping hot beverages hot and cool beverages cool. A long list of safety systems includes an Electronic Stability Programme (ESP), advanced multi-stage front air bags, side-curtain airbags and front-seat-mounted side airbags.

Three engine options will power the 2007 Chrysler Sebring that will be sold in Australia: the new standard 2.4-litre four-cylinder petrol engine (dubbed the I-4 World Engine), a highly efficient 2.0-litre turbo diesel engine, and at a later stage a 2.7-litre V6 petrol engine. Fuel economy is a high-priority for many of today’s car buyers, and the 2007 Chrysler Sebring rivals the best in the mid-size car segment. Sebring's 2.4-litre engine with dual variable valve timing is mated to a four-speed automatic transaxle and delivers 125 kW and 220 Nm, impressive fuel efficiency as well as smooth, quiet operation.

The available 2.7-litre V6 engine is coupled with a new six-speed automatic transaxle that comes standard with Auto Stick. The combination delivers excellent performance and fuel efficiency, as well as smooth quiet operation.
A state-of-the-art 2.0-litre turbo diesel engine mated to a six-speed manual transmission will also be offered on the Chrysler Sebring. The diesel engine will deliver excellent performance and fuel economy, with an estimated 103 kW of power and 310 Nm of torque.

The new Chrysler Sebring is slated for a May 2007-onwards release.

14/04/2007 - Mopars racing at Wanneroo Raceway

Last weekend on the 8th of April (Easter Sunday) the club was invited to attend a track day by the Falcon GT Club of WA at Wanneroo Raceway (Barbagallo). 6 club members and cars turned up to wave the Mopar flag against 32 other cars of various brands, mostly Fords.

The way started off rather doubtful with it raining quite heavily up until about 11am. By the time we lined up to get on to the track it was almost dry, but that didn't stop Jake Rebrovic's VH Charger (with a supercharged 360 V8) from digging up the dirt (see pic).

The best time of the day (short track) was Andy Thompson in his Triumph with a 59 second time.

Photos from the day (thanks to Keegan Rowe) can be seen on the Event Pictures page.
