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.

Official Solo Car 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:

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

State Library of Queensland
6 Dec to 8 Feb, Mon-Fri 9am-5pm, Sat-Sun 10am-5pm
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.
Experience State Library’s remarkable collections dating from the early 1900s through to the gas-guzzling muscle cars and off-roading 4WDs of the late 1970s. Watch rare home movies of people and their cars as well as a huge array of motoring memorabilia and historic photographs. Embrace car culture through an eye-catching display of artworks loaned from across the state, including an inflatable car by renowned Queensland artist Robert Moore, and a large display of historic and contemporary licence plates.
Don’t stall - cruise into Driven, our free summer exhibition, fuelled by nostalgia.
