Fundraising - Corvettes on the Bay

It was cool and dark when Damian and Tricia got up to head down to the Corvettes on the Bay fundraising event for 2026... 


Nice pre-dawn glow - they were predicting showers, but it was looking good so far!


Parked up at Manly... the rooftop pod is still off - it has a broken hinge that Damian needs to fix before esCarpade!


Flag up!


And a banner near the Qld Corvette Club gazebo.


Lots of cars rolled in - it would turn out to be the largest Corvettes on the Bay event since it started!


Bluey was out and about checking out cars, dancing and posing for photos!


Selfie with Bluey...


Thanks to the Queensland Corvette Club for their ongoing support - they have been supporting Camp Quality for 30 years!


Two charities being supported today - Camp Quality and Rosies.


Lots of shiny Corvettes!

And some street machines... this one is the same colour as Booger Mobile (Barbados Green).


Bay FM 100.3 were doing a live broadcast from the event...


Tricia found her favourite Corvette again!


Somehow it's Bluey's favourite also!


A glorious sunny day ensued...


Plenty of shaking the tin...


The Indy Pace Car is always flash as a rat with a gold tooth!


Lots of trophies ready to hand out - some even went to people Damian and Tricia knew!


A successful day of fundraising was had... the donation tin received $241.70, plus around $100 in online donations were also made!

Damian and Tricia also briefly caught up with a couple of regular blog readers - Craig dropped by to say g'day, and Luke caught Damian and Tricia just as they were getting in the car ready to head home!

Just 8 weeks to go until esCarpade... Damian had better pull his finger out and get that rooftop pod sorted out!
