Register meeting 7 June 2018
The Run for Cover meeting at
Benjamin Street St Marys.
A
bout 6.30 pm a contingent of MG’s
were running for the cover of the
big shed premises of Ken Fisher’s down
at St Mary’s . First in were the MMM
Over Head Cammers, hoods down to
boot, all in an attempt to upstage the “
soft toppers” or what has become
known as the T series Push Rodders.
Well done Bazzica & Rudiger, truly blew
us away with your brazen display and in
saying that, it was a most dreadful run
in the wet weather about 6:45pm on
South Road .“Fair is foul, and foul is
fair, Drive through the fog and the filthy
air”.
We are grateful to Ken & Rosemary for
hosting us on such a ” Macbeth” like
night , their premises has become a
haven for the Register in winter and we
really appreciate the hospitality shown.
Ten (10) T Register vehicles, one (1)
Y Series and two (2) Prewar MMM
cars, ND & KN slid into the shed.
Thirty seven (37) signed in the book.
Apologies. Brian Forth, Peter Cundy
(Poland), Gordo Brice (Jet lag), Trev
Driver ( Vic ) , Peter Ships id e
(Queenslanding) Terry W right
(poorly), Gipsy Willington ( Italy), Don
Walks ( frightened off) Garry Chap-
man (busy) , David & Joy Pearson
(weather) , Geraldine & Wayne
Hough ( Geraldine recovering)
Two members who should apologise
are Mozza Linehan & Paul “the Doc”
Dallwitz for not presenting in their T
Types, especially Mozza who con-
vinced me to meet and drive mine but
instead elected to bunk in with Thane in
his TC to save getting the TD a little
damp.
Visitors. Great to see John (Jack )
Whiting who is re- restoring his TC Spe-
cial again attended and is going to join
the Club. John whose family is well
known in Adelaide, has in the rafters
another TC which just might make it to
the floor and become another mobile
TC again. It is interesting that Jack after
enduring a broken crankshaft, had one
made here in Adelaide.
David Crispin, neighbour across the
road and master automotive crash re-
pairer, great friend of AC Pearson.
Com, graced us with his presence
again this year, a good bloke doesn’t
seem to age.
