General
Business. An-
thony Pearson
asked for sup-
port at the Na-
tional Meeting
Concourse
event on the
easter sunday
at Colley Re-
serve, messers
Martin, Davies,
Walker & Bray
said yes , how-
ever it was noted that the very first to
register his intent some time ago, An-
drew "Willow" Willington had been left
off the list, "not happy Jan " , but he's
ok now we think.
Geraldine reported that there are 323
registered for the Nat Meet to date.
Newly crowned and accredited CAMS
media photographers Terry Wright
and Wayne Hough did quite a bit of
back slapping over their acceptance
into the world of the paparazzi. Watch
for the hi vis vest of Terry Wright
stalking about at next meeting, you
will not miss him it's a size XXL , bal-
loon fitting i am told.
A big welcome to the A Register
members, Greg Atkins was the lone A
Series car to make it, Geoff Goode
could not make it past Crafers unfor-
tunately but it was good to see all the
others there.
Matters of insignificance.
Thane
Martin has taken to wearing the Por-
sche cap to meetings, let's all ac-
knowledge it now that he has pur-
chased a very nice 911.
Don Walker could hardly wait to get
his hands on a set of 19" wheels from
Goldy, not sure where they are going ,
on the special maybe ?
Good to see the boys bring the WA up
from Goolwa again, adds class, first to
arrive , thanks Peter & Don, it's al-
ways a great sight to see register cars
of a similar vintage when we can get
them together.
TD Mc Nabb was in New Zealand on
the MG Palooza over there, there is
heaps from him going up on the web-
site you can be sure.
Russell Garth made an impressive
run in the TF without problem this
year, the 30 year old resto is holding
up well Russ, fingers crossed.
Bob Schapel's paint job on the TC has
a rather nice patina about it if you had
not noticed, love it !
The Doc was able to dump radiator
coolant on the gravel this meeting
unnoticed i say.
Technology foiled by a TC. In case
you did not notice, the barking dog
horn on Ronnie Jillet's TC does not
work when the car is in motion. That
goes to show that no thorough bred
car is going to put up with frivolity and
a departure from originality. Maybe
Goldy can fix it Ronnie?
