MG Car Club of South Australia
PREWAR & T REGISTER 5 January 2017 Meeting, Arthur Ruediger’ s 28 Huntingdale Ave West Lakes,
The magic of MG in King Arthur’ s Castle, triple M magic!
eminiscent of the scene 1 from
R Shakespeare’ s Macbeth I say, well an adaptation really,“ When shall we three meet again. In thunder lightning, or in rain“ I cannot recall or maybe can any others, attending a meeting of the Register with three sensational prewar MG’ s present in the one place in company of many T series cars so beautifully presented. Can be described as a world class event you would think, very well done everybody and thankyou to Bob Bazzica, J2, Peter Cundy, NA & King Arthur, ND for the display, see photos on the website. Apologies: Yes there were a few, J Tamke, G Brice, G Glasson, K Fisher, B Forth, D Hosking, D Kemp, D Fairbrother, Reg O’ Malley & Hon. S Ley MP( Gold Coast). Reg has been hospitalised and is recovering, all of us wish him well. Thankyou Artfur for hosting your annual and privileged January meeting this year, any drop in standards will see it moved, however this year was a standout and you are safe for 2018. Signed in were 37 members, 22 register vehicles, 3 prewar MG’ s. The slick Mustang parked at the front was not given a ticket however it did carriage several unnamed members to the meeting. Irving Cup: Thanks to Peter Auld for returning back so that it can be awarded again this year at Peter’ s
20
Register meeting in February at Torrens Park. The results of the 2016 winner are now known to a select few, albeit that the Russians have tried unsuccessfully to influence the outcome. General Business: Peter Auld stressed the importance of always signing your Historic Rego Log book before venturing out in the MG, as he was stopped by the Plod, breath tested under protest( never had alcohol in his life he says, apart from alter wine and Irish Moss cough syrup) so take note. Thanks Peter for driving up from your leisure digs at Victor Harbor to return the cup. The conditional registration changes to the legislation on historic vehicles registration got a considerable airing from AC Pearson. com and others, it is too involved to be reported accurately here, information will be circulated to all but the serial pest, Joh Neilson who knows it all anyway! Geraldine reported on the National meeting in April, Anthony requested support for judges to head up teams assessing MG’ s at the concourse event, please help where you can,( Peter Auld will not be judging the TF 1500.) The april meeting will be at the clubrooms to meet interstate participants. The convoy MG’ s, TC, s & the TD from Buckley’ s was an event to behold, see website photo. Well, that’ s all folks, Laurie has limited me to one page this month, so to finish a final quote borrowed from Macbeth.“ Fair is foul and foul is fair, TC’ s thrive in the fog and the filthy air”
