David was 92 on the 1 October 2016, a wonderful achievement from our esteemed car club member and WW2 RAF veteran. The National Meeting of MG Car Clubs will be held in Adelaide at Easter in 2017, there is plenty of information on the website and in the magazines, participation and assistance running events is eagerly sought after, the Register will host a meeting at the clubrooms so that interstate visitors can engage with us and look over our cars. Try and get to that night with your vehicle. Bonsai. You may very well ask what the heck bonsai has got to do with the Register meeting! Well our talented and artistic hosts presented on show, a beautiful piece of living bonsai, a tree with a scale model TC replica of Mozza’ s TC infused into the display under the olive tree. This generated some interest from those not glued to Peter Cundy’ s NA, however there was a huge focus on the model TC from the club’ s avid model sniffer, Stan Shepard. Several phone calls followed after the meeting, Stan on the hunt for the source of the model manufacturer, obviously looking to add to his fine collection of MG models and memorabilia. The model is from Road Signature- 92468 MG TC MIDGET 1047 Cream Colour 1:18 Scale – E Bay source, PLModels Superstore. Next meeting. In keeping with tradition that has only been broken once by the Imperial Master, the meeting will be held at Arthur Ruediger’ s 28 Huntingdale Dr West Lakes on Thursday 5 January 2017. Hopefully we will have 3 Triple M Register vehicles

It will be well into the new year when this report gets published, new year greetings will be well and truly over by then, but happy new year anyway. I am about as excited as Donald Trump entering into the White House for the year ahead in 2017. It was certainly a surprise to see new cars appear on the scene, the N types, TC’ s, the LHD TD Jason & Faye Edwards and maybe others that I have missed. Sadly, Roland Harris sent the Y Type Saloon to another home interstate, all memorable in the scope of things. Here’ s looking forward to another entertaining year in 2017 it will be a ripper! See you at Arthur’ s wheel and rim works. John Bray, Register Coordinator
