an Buckley’s J2,TC, B,
Garage,
Birdwood Terrace North Plympton.
“Lubrication it’s the name of the game”.
Another well attended Register meeting
in the impressively clean and ordered
garage of our esteemed member Ian
Buckley. Plenty to see especially the
Prewar J2 under careful restoration.
Thanks to Ian and his son Tristan for
being our hosts on this occasion which
saw 46 members signed in and 16 reg-
ister vehicles packed down the driveway
and yard.
Apologies. Ha, many with excuses
some reasonable, others doubtful. G &

*Peter Auld , recently returned from
Monaco Grand Prix, was too busy clear-
ing Curly’s missed calls off his mobile
phone and a bit tired as well.
General Business. Peter Cundy gave
an impressive report from the Historic
Race meeting at Winton where he
scored second place in the regularity
event in the 1934 NA, everything went
well for him it appears with a “little” help
from his pit crew again this year. Re-
ports that Bob Schapel ran into some
trouble with the TC are apparent from
the greasy hands featured in one of
Terry Wright’s photos.
On the subject of grease, members
were rather puzzled at the handout of
the Repco sachets that I gave out, not
for personal use as some rudely sug-
gested, but with a veiled inference that if
they wanted to “grease up” to the
BOTR, now was their chance , hello !
On the subject of “lubrication” it goes
without saying that members were ade-
quately lubricating their throats as per
usual, Ian Buckley’s cleanskin red of
which Thane Martin has a few was a
really nice drop albeit hidden inside for
only the select few to partake.
Faces in the crowd. Pleasing to see
the great Don Offler again looking
sprightly indeed. Good to see back in
action three who have had some work
medical done on their mechanicals, Don
Walker, Ray Finch and David Kemp.
Mike Lyons was particularly pleased
