David was 92 on the 1 October 2016 , a wonderful achievement from our esteemed car club member and WW2 RAF veteran . The National Meeting of MG Car Clubs will be held in Adelaide at Easter in 2017 , there is plenty of information on the website and in the magazines , participation and assistance running events is eagerly sought after , the Register will host a meeting at the clubrooms so that interstate visitors can engage with us and look over our cars . Try and get to that night with your vehicle . Bonsai . You may very well ask what the heck bonsai has got to do with the Register meeting ! Well our talented and artistic hosts presented on show , a beautiful piece of living bonsai , a tree with a scale model TC replica of Mozza ’ s TC infused into the display under the olive tree . This generated some interest from those not glued to Peter Cundy ’ s NA , however there was a huge focus on the model TC from the club ’ s avid model sniffer , Stan Shepard . Several phone calls followed after the meeting , Stan on the hunt for the source of the model manufacturer , obviously looking to add to his fine collection of MG models and memorabilia . The model is from Road Signature- 92468 MG TC MIDGET 1047 Cream Colour 1:18 Scale – E Bay source , PLModels Superstore . Next meeting . In keeping with tradition that has only been broken once by the Imperial Master , the meeting will be held at Arthur Ruediger ’ s 28 Huntingdale Dr West Lakes on Thursday 5 January 2017 . Hopefully we will have 3 Triple M Register vehicles

I am about as excited as Donald Trump entering into the White House for the year ahead in 2017 . It was certainly a surprise to see new cars appear on the scene , the N types , TC ’ s , the LHD TD Jason & Faye Edwards and maybe others that I have missed . Sadly , Roland Harris sent the Y Type Saloon to another home interstate , all memorable in the scope of things . Here ’ s looking forward to another entertaining year in 2017 it will be a ripper !
