There will be some of our usual, every year events to attend as well as some new ideas to provide a variety of things to do. This in- cludes our pre Bay to Birdwood lunch at the Bombay Bicycle Club on Sat- urday 28th. We will also soon be having a meeting to form a planning committee for our upcoming 2023 national rally, it seems a long way off, but will be here before we know it. If you feel you would like to have some input and help with the planning of the rally, please talk to one of the committee members listed at the front of this magazine and make your intentions known. Also in the last month I have been given a new work car, it comes with all the latest bells and whistles, lane keeping, active cruise control, cameras and sensors for everything, including a warning if I spent too long looking at cars parked in yards, rather than watching the road. If it rains the wipers come on, a push of a button tells me what the tyre pressures are and another button tells me how much fuel has been saved when the car turns itself off when stopped at traffic lights or waiting to give-way to other traffic. All of this is very good, but it has made me wonder if it will be possible to restore cars like this in the future, with so many computers and sensors, will it be feasible to keep all of this technology working when age creates corrosion in the wiring and electrical connections At least our 8s & 10s are mechanical in operation and don’t need a degree in computer programming just to diagnose a problem. Happy Fording 4 THE EDITOR’S DESK EMAIL ADDRESS: [email protected] Hello everyone Another month has somehow slipped bye, god knows where it went. We missed the progressive dinner because of prior booking and this is an occasion that we truly enjoy but things happen and you can only be in one place at a time, but you can read about it on pages 15-17 the worst part was I missed out on a pie floater bugger. We hope all the dads had a great fathers day mine was terrific Grace de- cided that we would go to the Wombat Hotel in Kadina for lunch [evidently it was booked months ago] and when we walked in there was our daughter and grandsons sitting at a table it blew me out of the water. Missy said it was a bloody long way to go for lunch but she truly didn't mind, and our eldest grandson (Calab) was wrapt as he got to drive mums car. The ute finally seems to be back on the road but the proof will be in the driving and on that note, Grace has had a drive and the more she drives the better she will get so when I have trouble walking and therefore using the clutch we can hopefully still take the ute on club runs. I would like to say a big thank you Blaine for coming over and spending a day on the ute motor with me and between us sorting out the problem, I will tell you more in around the sheds at the next meeting Unfortunately we will miss the next run as we will be at the country music festival in Mildura and it’s a mecca for us country musos to attend ,and the rumor is this may be the last one, but we have heard this rumor before. Cheers Grace & Jim Many thanks to those who contributed to the edition of the magazine.

By Jane Woodhams Last updated on: November 6, 2017 at 4:01 pm Parking seems pretty straight forward, but there are a surprising number of laws that govern where and when you can leave your car. We look at 11 places you can’t park to help you become a parking pro. At bus stops While it’s no surprise that bus stops are reserved for – as the name suggests – buses, you may not realise the law specifically says how much of a gap is needed when parking nearby.

How Modern Lights Highlight Hazards Your Grandparents Would Have Missed 1908 1932 1966 1976 1994 2016 • Comparison of car headlights from the past century highlights effectiveness of today’s tech • Cyclist 12 metres away – once almost invisible to drivers – is clearly seen with modern lights • Same night-time driving scenario simulated with six cars spanning 109 years • Car lights evolve from dim gas lamps to modern bright xenon and LED beams • Lights now adapt to speed, surroundings. Cars can automatically brake for people at night • In future, more and more cars will use LED lights that help reduce driver fatigue COLOGNE, Germany, Feb. 7, 2017 – New car headlight technology means modern drivers really do live in an age of enlightenment, with a stark contrast between the night-time driving visibility enjoyed today and the drastically less effective headlamps their grandparents used to light the road ahead. A series of images showing the view from cars spanning from a 1908 Ford Model T up to a new Ford Mustang shines a light on just how far headlight technology has come. The cyclist is just 12 metres ahead of each vehicle illuminating the scene. Drivers of the Model T – more than 15 million of which were sold from 1908 to 1927 – would have to first light the acetylene lamps before hitting the road. Today’s drivers not only benefit from bright xenon and LED headlights but also from technology that can automatically brake for For news releases, related materials, photos and video, visit www.fordmedia.eu or www.media.ford.com .

An interesting thing about the overwhelming majority of these "contacts" is that I hear from them via the U.S. Postal Service or the EnFo Hotline. There are surely better ways to interact with people of similar interests, but given the geographical reality of the Registry, phone calls and letters are often the only way. **For those of you reading this, my sincere thanks for your continued support, words of encouragement, and contributions to YOUR newsletter. This endeavor would not work without members, and in my tenure I have tried a quite a few ways of trying to grow the membership and pique the interest of those incline~ towards the EnFo fold. I do this by limited advertising in a few different publications, and by relying on members' word of mouth advertising as well. ***1 receive calls and letters on a regular basis from people interested in the Registry. I provide them with the usual EnFo pep talk that goes something like "Well yes, they are rare, but no one knows what they are or wants them so they aren't worth a whole heck of a lot." I encourage them to have a look at the newsletter (which I send to them sans classified ad section-along with a membership application) and let them know we'd be honored to have them join.
