Car Shows, Rallies, Sunday Drives, Road Trips… I especially like Sunday morning around 6:30. That’s when I can find an open stretch of winding road and clean out the carburetor. By 7:30 or 8:00 I’m back cleaning the pool or doing some other chore, but for that brief time every week I get to remember how much fun my MG is. Not just touring at a leisurely pace, but actually stressing the suspension, downshifting to get more power, hearing the tires squeal in a tight turn. With today’s computer controlled cars it’s hard to actually “drive”. The car keeps you safe. With an old sports car you actually have to do more than put it in drive and relax in the climate-controlled cockpit. You have to anticipate, shift, feel the car… Next Sunday take your little British car for a drive. Maybe we’ll meet in passing. Remember: “Shiny side up and between the ditches”. As we get into summer there are a lot of club activities to note on your calendar. The club picnic is this month as well as “A Taste of Britain”. All new members should use these events as opportunities to meet the active group and get a feel for how the club works. There is no secret initiation or hazing involved. Just show up with the intent of having a good time. Everything else will fall into place. As a final note, I am forced to remind everyone that we have no volunteers to assume the position of editor. Simply put, there will be no newsletter without an editor. The board has discussed the issue and we will act on one of several suggestions if the position remains open. As an interim, we could be forced to rely on our website. I know of several clubs that have taken this direction. Lanco has been resisting this since it forces a requirement of Internet capability on members. Since not everyone in the club has email and computer access there is a possibility we will exclude some enthusiasts from participation. If you have an interest please contact an officer of the club so we can start your training. Thanks. FROM THE EDITOR Hello, all. 1 You can certainly tell from the articles in this MailGram and from the upcoming events schedule that we’re well into a very active sportscar season this year. There’s just so much to choose from. It seems like there used to be one or two events a month to pick from, now sometimes there’s three or four a weekend – check out the August and September calendar and see for yourself! Thanks to some of our regular contributors we’ve covered many of the recent events and outings in this issue. Problem is though, we’ve missed several others, including the Hershey Hillclimbs, and Spring and Import Carlisle. Please, if you attend an event, don’t be bashful, send us a few photos (preferably digital) and write a few lines with the details and send them along so we can include your activities in the newsletter. Don’t worry about the spelling or the grammar, that’s my job! While I’m at it, take a look at the “Back Page” – it proves that you can sell (or try to sell) just about anything on eBay! Several members sent me info on another one, too. I just didn’t have room to fit it in. Perhaps next time – we’d all like to know how to buy a Lotus Esprit Turbo for ninety cents (honestly!). I too must pick up on Andy’s plea mentioned above – we still have had no one step forward to take over the duties of newsletter editor/publisher. The next issue of the MailGram will be the last for Jeff and I. If there is no editor, there will be no newsletter, and as Andy said, the board is studying the various options and will have to make a decision soon as how they will proceed to get the club information out to the membership. Perhaps you’re intimidated by what’s been put out over the last many years and think “I could never do that”. Don’t be…The newsletter does not have to remain in its current format and the board knows that it takes a lot of work to have made it this way. Remember, Jeff is a professional and this is how he earns his living.

General Sutter Inn, Lititz, PA FROM THE EDITOR continued on page 1 2 been extremely fortunate (and very spoiled) that he has donated his time and services these past eight years, especially since his car- habit has changed and he has not been a member for the past several years. (His national concours award-winning MGB is still for sale if your interested). So, if you have any interest and computer abilities at all, please call President Andy and discuss the options with him as soon as possible. The club needs your help, and you will be rewarded with the satisfaction of having provided an important helping hand. Eric Salminen will lead a caravan of those interested in spectating at this year’s Hagley Museum Car Show. The caravan will meet at the Tanglewood Golf driving range parking lot (PA 272 and Scotland Road, near the Citgo station, 3 miles south of Buck, PA) and depart from there for the show promptly at 10:00 a.m.

  • 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.
