MG Car Club of South Australia BREAKFAST RUN REPORT From..Steve Spong, photos by David McNabb Breakfast Run to Younghusband 26th November 2017 A s has now become a tradition, the last breakfast run of the year was to Alan & Ros Foweraker's house on the tranquil Murray at Younghusband, a truly "Stress Reducing" location. The day started with a hiccup for me as my car died just as I pulled up at Veale Gardens, it having run out of sparks. The fault was traced to the coil and Pe- ter Auld was kind enough to rush home to pick up a brand new one he hap- pened to have lying around, so problem solvered. My sincere thanks to Peter for his willing help, and I will now carry a spare coil. He and Chris had not been on a run for some time and so let me assure them that it is not often that we have car prob- lems on these runs, but it is not unheard of. Also making a return to the run was Mike & Jan who drove their new MG6 up from Strath. There was the usual good turn out for this run, the route this time going via Murray Bridge rather than via Mannum and the ferry crossing. A convoy of cars being led, I might add, by the GT's!. It was an overcast but dry day and Alan & Ros put on a great show, even firing up the BBQ and providing snags to all of those that were still hanging around in the afternoon, all of us enjoying the day too much to even think about driving home. ping away as usual, but both had an important prior engagement being Reg O'Malley's 80th birthday. So congratula- tions Reg.
