Coffee, Cars and Competition

Its 6.30 Sunday morning and the alarm is going off , a quick cuppa tea, up with the roller door, 8’ degrees and the roof is off the Sprite [ of course ] , and we are off by 7.15 . The heater is hardly working by the time we got to Happy Valley shopping centre at 7.30 , we were not the first Sprite to arrive, the other Sprites must be locals

Nine Sprites turned up, lots of other cars big and small , Ford , Chev , VW, Jaguar , Rover , Holden , Mini . 240Z ,MX-5 .

You get the picture lots to see and owners to chat too. I think our club did us proud . By 10.00 the shoppers were moving in so its time for the Sprites to move on .

We decided to put a quick run together thanks to Steve & Cathy Leane , Up to Chandlers Hill Rd , Grants Gully Rd , Piggott Range Rd , then back to Lonsdale .

The short run concluded at Apogee Motor Sport Services. Owners Scott and Helen Stephenson had put on a display of an amazing range of race cars . Scott gave us a rundown of the services that they provide.

All vehicles prepped , maintained , repaired in house . V8 Super Utes , Toyota 86 , Improved Production , and some big Chev NASCAR looking thing , I didn’t see what that was all about , and they are also happy to service your daily drive .

Free Coffee is always a good thing on a cold morning .

Thanks to all the members that made it on the morning and to Scott and Helen for sharing Apogee’s premises .
