Whats On

We normally hold at least one run a month for either breakfast or lunch, or to a car or rock-n-roll show. Most runs are confined to within a 2-3 hour drive of the Gold Coast, and we occasionally do an overnight stay at places of interest.

Members "classic" cars are mainly from the 50's to the 70's, however any make, model or year of vehicle is welcome and many members drive their regular late model cars on our runs.

Members are advised that the SCARAB Car Club Inc. Gold Coast Qld has added Impromptu Member runs to the Official Club Program.

As there are sometimes limited opportunities to hold a Club event for all Members to gather together at a specific location, we are encouraging Club Members to hold their own individual event.

Runs can be on any day of the week, but currently no further than 150 kms from your place of residence. It may be for a picnic or a continuous drive.

The idea is to give Members an opportunity to get their Classic Car out of the garage and take it for a run.

Please read: Concessional registration and ensure your within the legislation guidelines. In particular:

• About concessional registration
• Special Interest Vehicle Concession Scheme guide
  • Eligible vehicles -> Historic vehicles
  • Conditions of use for special interest vehicles

Members are advised, in advance, to send an email of their intentions to the Club including, a completed form with the timings and locations of the run, as an attachment.

It will then be considered an impromptu event.

As well, Members should carry a completed, printed copy of the form with them in the car to present if queried by the Police OR in the event of an accident.

Take a drive down memory lane, celebrating the milestones we’ve shared with our cars, the adventures across bitumen, sand and dirt, and the enduring passion driven by our love for them.

You never forget your first car. The thrill of turning the key for the first time, the radio crackling to life, and the exhilarating sense that the open road is suddenly yours to claim.

Cars are part of life’s most unforgettable moments. From a baby’s first trip home, to the flashy ride for your school formal, the vintage wedding car, and even that final farewell in a hearse, our rites of passage often unfold behind the wheel, in the backseat, or right there in the driveway.
