MG Car Club of South Australia
PRE-WAR & T REGISTER
From...John Bray
1 June 2017
I SAy , I SAy !
Held at 6 Mills street Clarence Park
home of Robert and Beverly Horn and
home to five T Register vehicles in what
has been described previously as Alad-
din’s Cave and the Horn of Plenty. Ac-
tually TD Mc Nabb was eagerly looking
forward to a “horny” night surrounded by
those beautiful motor vehicles. Actu-
ally , he was right on the money as
Robert is known to his mates outside the
car club as “Horny “ and is quite com-
fortable with that title .
Horny and Bev put on another magnifi-
cent night for the 37 members that
signed into the book and we thank them
sincerely for their efforts.
I am not sure how manty T Types were
jammed into the front driveway, certainly
spillage out into Mills Street was
achieved under the direction of ex traffic
officer Buckley and his side kick Martin
but more on them later.
18 Register
vehicles in total present on the night.
Apologies.

cluded but not limited to the following:

Erp, David Kemp, AC Pearson .Com,

( I SAy, I SAy ! )

Not so sincere thanks.
To the Serial Pest for trying to take over

attempt to drive us all mad.

Bob Schapelli Racing Schapel drove at
Winton with moderate success, second
in his class.
The old TC ran beautifully over the
weekend , Andrew Willington and myself
acted as his pit monkeys which gener-
ally involved moving the deck chairs in
the garage and pulling the corks out of
the bottle at the end of the day.
