MG Car Club of South Australia
N
Motorsport Mutterings From. Murray Stephenson
issan Datsun Car Club( NDCC) ran the motorkhana on July second and, as usual, borrowed the MGCC trailer with all the motorkhana equipment. Nigel Drinkwater from NDCC picked up and returned the trailer. In regular Nigel fashion he could not return the trailer without fixing something which in the past has included new door struts and jockey wheel. This time it was repairing some water leaks, replacing the wiring plug, installing tracks across the floor to locate the concrete blocks and installing two shelves to carry tables and light items. In addition he and his wife washed all the safety vests, folded them and packed them in a suit case for safe keeping. Nigel works for Aldom Motor Body Builders who donated the materials and equipment to do this work and supported Nigel’ s activities. We owe a big thank you to Mark Haigh at Aldom for his generous support and to Nigel and his wife for all the work on our trailer. It is greatly appreciated.
