May 2018
Briefly : Gordon Koch’s TC at Nu-
riootpa has not sold despite offers, it is a
great car.
Doc Dallwitz is looking for some
pavers, 15 sq metres. It was suggested
that as he lives
close to King William
Rd, he might find some there, helpful
advice.
The Register book is decidedly un-
healthy and needs an overhaul, several
of you will be asked to update the data
on your cars. Russell Garth is lending a
hand researching the several data
sheets on Prewar & T Series cars now
that he is retired and has time to attend
the MG Coffee club at Joan’s Pantry on
Fridays.
Meetings : Next month’s meeting is at
Bob & Shelly Bazzica’s on 3 May at 31
Northern Ave West Beach, to celebrate
the completion of the KN 0386 which he
took to Tasmania for the Nat Meet.
I am looking forward to it as for years we
have seen it in fairly ordinary condition
in the annex that he calls a workshop. A
night not to be missed, might have to
order in KNC to celebrate. ( Kentucky
Nuggets & Chips )
Birdwood run some years ago. Unfortu-
nately he could not make the Register
meeting but he will be back he says.
The Ghost who Walks: Guess who,
Don Walker has done it again, an apol-
ogy for the meeting essentially because
he is falling over cars at Goolwa Beach.
The SA is progressing beautifully , the
Wizard of Qz, Ray Finch is working
miracles on the body work.
Smooth
talking Don, collected another TC in bits
from a dear lady who dismantled it for
her grandson probably, then he scores a
good looking YA Saloon 1950 model at
an attractive price with shopper dockets,
how else ?
Congratulations Don, I am finding it hard
to keep up with you filling in the Register
book.
Forthy: Well he is coming, then not
coming, however he managed to
squeeze out of grandparenting duties to
get there, that is dedication. He’s look-
ing for 19 inch x 450 tyres to put on a
1920’s Fiat in somebody’s shed, can
anyone help ?
Dean Hosking: Missed the Nat Meet in
Tas, missed an extended holiday with
the bride all due to a detatched retina of
the eye. It is coming good just a bit of a
blurr he says, really bad luck Dean.
Buckley : Seems to be agitating for
another register subset, “ The Overhead
Cammers”. Just because he is rubbing
shoulders with the TripleM Prewar set
now that he has the J2, I would have
thought that he would be cautious of the
“Push Rodders” who outnumber him
considerably. Just saying , cannot di-
vulge my source.
Legend #1. Yes Laurie Foody again,
nearly did not make it to the meeting ,
flat battery despite the homemade GMH
charger. Good news, he can walk to
West Beach meeting next month and
save Arthur the worry.
Cheers to all, remember Safety Farts ,
old MG motto.
