General business : The Bazzica ’ s have returned from the USA trip with many interesting photographs on the I Pad and tales of adventures with the MG fraternity over there , use of the MGTD-Arnolt Bertone Coupe especially . Bob has secured another restoration project here with his own Arnolt-MG ( TD ) on hand just to keep him away from the three other car reno ’ s that he is working on . The headlight globe and globe trotting guru of the club AC Pearson LED . com arrived in a daze of white lights just to impress us all with the Y Type clearly bright enough to spot foxes and rabbits anywhere . Seriously Anthony does a “ brilliant ” job with his knowledge and solutions for upselling his LED lamps for our aging cars . I purchased LED globes for the TC front guards side lights that now flash orange when turning and white generally when
turned on . Not quite the Audi running lights mind you , but really brilliant , safe and practical in my opinion . Simple , just plugged them in . ACP is off to Silverstone soon selling his wares and hob knobbing with the Lords he says , amazing what cash can do eh ? Good luck ACP . LED . com . Bob Schapel confessed that he likes the Register meetings so much that he hates leaving to go home . Seems that retirement has starved him of contact with MG fellowship out in his lonely garage with only the cars for company . Maybe we have to sign him out as well as signing in ? Wine : My first ever complaint was handed out to me by our well seasoned
and experienced sleuth , Terry Mc Wright who observed that the prized Merlot that he won stated on the label that it was good for cellaring for 3 years . Any reasonable recipient of that fine bottle of wine would surely understand that the period commences from the date of the register meeting , what else ? Wine improves with age ……. The older I get , the better I like it ! Ronnie Jellet , very pleased to have the side curtains up on the trip up from Murray Bridge , thanks Goldy , you getting soft since the os trip , or maybe you forgot ? I was given a note that Harry Aust is rebuilding his TC Special that raced at Mallala in mid 1960 ’ s , wants to know if anyone has a photo of the instrument
