MG Car Club of South Australia
ing, the TF will be dragging the caravan
on next year’s Auto tour and on to the
MG National meeting they say , more
news to come and pictures of hungry
camels I suspect.
David McNaughton offered a second
hand Molnar hoist from his firm , it may
have been snapped up straight away
however I did check clearances in
Buckley’s garage just in case it would
find a good home there. ( many strange
looks from the crowd doing that)
Russell Garth read out an article from
the Advertiser where a poor unfortunate
in a Mini on Shepherds Hill Road blew
over the limit one day , car impounded,
licence gone, then proceeded to do the
same thing the next day, car no 2 im-
pounded, licence gone 24 months.
However second car is an MG sedan,
could have been worse though, he’s not
a club member.
Bob Schapel apologised for a mistake
in one of his articles, dammed decent of
you Bob!
Don Walker’s SA started first time after
12 months layoff he says , amazing
what acetone does down the throat of
the carburettor does , well that’s my
take on it.
Mozza Linehan was coerced to driving
to the meeting with the hood down, it
took a lot of persuading and exchange
of emails, however four others did like-
wise from Eden Hills.
The bell, ring a ding ding. Well blow
me down and take my money, quite a
din that secured the immediate attention
of all including the neighbours next door
and down the road. Wired up for the
occasion by Buckles it was just magnifi-
cent and if was not for the 12 volt bat-
tery to lug around I would have it at
every register meeting so there.
Seriously. A big thankyou to Ian Buck-
ley and his capable son Tristan who
provided the back of house service on
the night. Tristan is completing his sec-
10
ond degree in International Relations.
Our member in Papua New Guinea,
Craig Ferguson (TC) was able to assist
Tristan with a project that he did on be-
half of the Papua New Guinea Maritime
Board. How good is it that the car club
has such wonderful members in varying
professions and expertise in a number
of areas of industry and the like. Ian’s
preparation of his garage was quite su-
perb, the J2 Prewar MG in its magnifi-
cent state of restoration was made avail-
able for us to peer into every crevice.
Ian is doing a very professional job on
the car.
Real serious. “ Water in the carburet-
tor “
Wife complains to husband that the MG
has water in the carburettor, husband
responds that it is ridiculous cannot be
water in the carburettor. Wife says that
the MG has water in the carburettor,
husband responds for the second time ,”
you don’t even know what a carburettor
looks like, where is the car ? “
Wife : “ In the river “
One final word on “grease” The oil slick
down the driveway was most apparent
on leaving the event, bad luck Buckles I
was told not to run degreaser anymore
as raffle prizes, stiff.
Next meeting: Leigh Ritcher’s , 21 Hill-
side Drive Aldgate. 4 th July.
August

September Doc Dallwitz Unley, October

fun.
