  • February 2016 Newsletter
    NEWSLETTER February 2015 Official Newsletter of the Austin Seven Register of Qld. Inc. (formed 1967) THE EDITOR’S BIT Welcome to 2016! Scary how time seems to accelerate the older you are. But more importantly most of our Austin 7’s are now over 80 years old, some of the oldest around the 90 year mark. That makes me wonder what sort of state our club will be in 2022 when we celebrate 100 years of the Austin Seven, Probably pretty much the same but a little slower, perhaps? Maybe even much the same committee at the helm? We are very lucky at the moment as so many new parts are still available, tyres (for most) are available at a reasonable cost and there are so many great rallies and events to attend, both run by our club and others throughout Queensland and across the borders in NSW and Victoria and South Australia and Western Australia where our sister Austin Seven Clubs are also thriving. Our headline feature photo this issue is Justin McKeering in his 1929 Chummy arriving at Ormiston for the Australia Day Breakfast Run. Justin treats his Austin like a second car and enjoys driving it across and around Brisbane. His father Brian McKeering rebuilt the car many years ago, I believe it belonged to Lindsay Corban before then, but that was probably well before I joined the club in 1976! I would like to thank the contributions to this newsletter, Neil & Karyn, John and Mike for the rally reports and up and coming events, Robyn for her minutes, Ray for some great photos at Ormiston, and all the rest of you who have sent me snippets of news and pictures, and adverts for Austins and parts.
