September 2017
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
