The first Sprite Club of South Australia classic sports car cruise for 2019 will be run on the evening of Saturday February 16th. As usual this is a low key informal short sharp and hopefully not too hot opportunity to display our cars.
Gathering point this time will be the car park area next to the Adelaide historic ship in Port Adelaide. Entry off Mclaren parade. Arrive at 6:30pm for a 7:00 pm departure. As usual we would like to be joined by any interested sports car, clubman, etc drivers. We are not fussy about what constitutes a classic sports car. Participants do not need to be members of car clubs. The run will be of approximately 1 hour duration. Sun is scheduled to dip into the gulf of St Vincent at 8:09 on this day. The route should minimize sunglare and be reasonably user friendly on older cooling systems.
One of the purposes of these cruising events is to promote interest in our cars a special feature of this event is that if possible drivers recruit a junior person to accompany them ie. children grand children nieces nephews etc. We will be asking the kids for their vote of favorite participating car with a trophy going to the car with the most votes.
Route maps will be available at the departure point.

As would be expected everyone joining us take part entirely at their own risk and are responsible for the roadworthiness of their vehicle.
