Mid Week Run – Wrap up
Kevin and Rose Caire, Michael McClaren , David and Diane Low, Peter Stanley and Garry Beaton met up at Gepps’s Cross to start off on the Northern Run organized by Michael McClaren. Michael took an extended morning tea and lunch break and came straight from his office to honor his commitment to the day and returned to his office at the end of the run, thanks Michael for that effort.
Only two Sprites braved the anticipated bad weather, Peter Stanley and Garry Beaton have Sprites made of Sterner Stuff and civilian vehicles made up the numbers. It was nice to welcome Peter back again after a long absence in his repainted M2 Sprite complete with racing numbers etc, Peter is a keen Hill Climb competitor in his Sprite. We proceeded up the Northern Highway to Gawler avoiding the many Huge Semi trailers that came past us to Gawler where nature overtook Garry Beaton’s self control and a wee break was needed, its a long from Lenswood on a cold morning. Next stop was at the Local Winery at lyndoch where we sampled various wines which must have been appealing as some of us purchased some bottles, I personally find it hard to balance a bottle of wine on my knees whilst driving a Sprite, that done off to the Williamstown for a prebooked lunch and I think everyone enjoyed their lunch.
Much frivolity and discussion took place and we all got to know of the Endearing terms Garry Beaton’s 93 year old mother calls him (cannot be posted on our site). After the long lunch we proceeded to the Cudlee Creek Area and Corkscrew sections 
Corkscrew Road
of the Tarmac Rally and finally all made our own way home buy viagra cialis levitra home. The weather was very kind to us and the sunshine was great , good company, nice lunch again thanks to Michael for organizing this Midweek run , Garry Beaton

Marshalls needed – Sunday 21 July
The club has been asked to provide marshalls for this coming Sunday’s MSCA super Sprint event at Mallala. If anyone can help out you need to be at the track by 8.15 to be allocated a task.
It has been the habit lately to allow marshalls to do a couple of passenger laps of the track at lunch time so that viagra pills australia may encourage a few more of you to come out for the day! (This will have to be confirmed)
Each marshall is provided a lunch of a salad roll (ham/cheese/beef salads) with a slice of cake and a piece of fruit. It is a good day and well worth the effort.
Mid Week Run Wednesday 17th July
There is a mid-week run on Wednesday 17th July.
An interesting route through the northern Adelaide Hills has been set culminating in a couple of tricky tarmac stages around the forest and Fox Creek.
Where to meet: City Dismantlers car park on Pt Wakefield Road, near the corner with Grand Junction Road.
When to meet: 10am for 10.30am
Where we’re going: In simple terms we will take a run through Elizabeth to Gawler, then on to Lyndoch and stopping for lunch at the Williamstown Hotel. Then it’s heading tothe old Chain of Ponds hamlet, driving the Cudlee Creek & Fox generic viagra online Creek courses, over to Lobethal and back to Cudlee Creek. Some might grab a coffee at Cudlee Creek, others will head their various ways home.
The plan is to try to miss morning and evening peak hour traffic and be in before sunset.
Pea and Pie Night
On a very cold rainy night , brave spriters converged at Patrick’s he was flying solo, ( Miriam is in Europe) for the annual Pea & Pie night.
Tina Brine was in charge of the Soup and the Pies, well done Tina.
John Whitburn was the fire stoker, if you we brave enough to go outside.
Pie floaters with your favourite tomato sauce, and a glass of you favourite beverage, what a better way to spend a Saturday Night.
Lots of story telling, laughter and friendship, mingled with who’s in the lead buy online viagra where at the football, and for David the Wallabies were not doing well against the Lions, made a great evening.
Sweets provided by the ladies, and what a feast, we would have been able to feed the army.
Thanks to Patrick for welcoming us again this year.
For those who couldn’t make it, Pea & Pie is now a Sprite tradition, so lock it in for 2014

2013 SPRITE HIGH COUNTRY RUN
SPRITES ACROSS THE HIGH COUNTRY & MURRAY RIVER 2013
A few months ago the Sprite Club of South Australia was invited to send members overto Victoria to participate in the upcoming High Country run. This was being planned by John Fowler from the Victorian Sprite Drivers Club. Our Club responded by David & Dianne Low, Chris & Tina Brine, Garry & Molly Beaton, Russell & Judy Schmarr and not from our club, but from South Australia Peter & Rhonda Fietz.
The event was to be over 5 days touring the high country of Northern Victoria and Southern NSW. All good sealed winding roads, perfect for our Sprites. List of accommodation were sent out and we made our own bookings. Constant emails kept us informed and excited. Eventually we had 21 starters from VIC, NSW and SA. Three groups were formed, LIVELY, SMART PACE and SCENIC OR VERY FAST, FAST AND BRISK.
Back in SA, Russell & Judy Schmarr had decided to drive to Melbourne a few days before the start; Peter and Rhonda Feitz were driving to Bright, both in their Sprites. Gary Beaton and Chris Brine and I were going to trailer our Sprites to Melbourne. We would then start the run at the official start at Coldstream.
However before each of us started out, certain things needed to happen. Gary Beaton had decided to build a tilt car trailer from plans given to him by Neil Scott from Sydney. Neil was also entered on the run. Garry worked week in week out on this trailer, finally finishing it on midday the Monday prior to the start on Wednesday. Then he set for Melbourne arriving at mid night. He then had to find the Lilydale Caravan Park, with 35 year old street directory and without Sat Nav. Being a resourceful fellow, he and Molly found it, and were then able to relax. Chris Brine had decided to fit a new motor to his Bug-eye as the old 948ccc motor was quite tired, and not liking hills. As we would go up some very steep and long hills, fitting a fresh motor seemed a good idea. This was completed the week before and then tuned. After a quick road test the car was loaded on the trailer and he and Tina set off on the Sunday prior the start for Melbourne. Then it was my turn. I had arranged with Bug-eye Barn proprietor Tony Bennetto to supply and fit Mark 3 Sprite disc brakes to my Bug eye. Not only were going be climbing big long steep hills, we would be coming down long steep hills, so 7 inch drum brakes were seen as a liability. We set off for Melbourne on the Saturday prior to the start, planning to have car at Tony’s workshop on either Sunday afternoon or Monday Morning. As it turned out we dropped off on Sunday Afternoon. On Monday morning work commenced on removing the old drums. Progress was slow as Tony had customers calling and phoning in, but this was not a problem as we still had Tuesday. Again more interruptions, but that is how small business works, so eventually the job was finished late Tuesday PM. I was sort of helping out during the process, trying to save time where possible. So all three were now in Melbourne so we decided along with Tony and Kerry Bennetto go for a meal. Tony chose a pub a fair way out of town. By now we were all staying at the Lilydale Caravan Park. We booked a taxi and the ladies went in the taxi first, then it returned took us. When we arrived at the Hotel I asked the driver to collect us later. After the meal we rang the cab company and they explained a cab was on the way. Meanwhile Tony and Kerry dropped the ladies back at caravan Park. We had a beer and waited for a cab, but the barman said, he had never seen a cab come back at that time of night. So we rang Tony to come back and collect us
Next morning we awoke ready for the start, I got fuel and took a look at Garry Beaton’s trailer. What a great job he had done! Then it was off to the start, Chris and Tina we not quite ready, but would catch us up as he was running a little late. Next a phone call, Chris could not start his car. So Garry and I made a dash back to help Chris. At first we thought he had flooded it. After trying a few things I rang Tony Bennetto who gave us some more suggestions and we finally got it going, but it was not running very well.
At the start we were given a bag containing all manner of goodies including a windscreen sticker of the event, but most importantly our book showing our route instructions for each day, plus the allocated times for each stop. First reaction was that it was too organized, but as time went by it became obvious John had a well thought out plan, so we could do a lot each day, but still arrive at our destination between 4:00 and 4:30pm.
Next thing we were off in our groups. Lachlan Fowler was driving John Fowler’s car, our lead car, which is a quick car, so I had trouble keeping up, but they kept track of us all. The first section took us around Lake Eildon, on a newly sealed road. What a great road, as well as a great introduction to the run as a whole. At Eildon we had morning tea lasting 20 minutes, then on to Jamieson for lunch. Here we fuelled up, and John had a list of petrol stations along the route that had 98 octane fuels in our route book. From there we travelled through Mansfield, towards Benalla on to Milawa. Here we met up with Geoff and Eileen Graham, the real characters of the whole group. Then on to Bright. At Bright Graham and Margaret Hately, Neil and Lorina Scott, Peter and Rhonda Feitz joined us, along with Karen Postill and Rod Pratt who caught us at Mansfield. We walked up to the Alpine Hotel for a great meal. Then we retired to our cabins. We were sharing with Russell and Judy Schmarr in a family sized cabin. On checking our cars I found my horn and blinkers not working. A horn wire had come a drift and I needed a new blinker can and a top up of engine oil. Russell had needed a blinker bulb and an exhaust strap. All sorted by the next morning. That day we drove 365km. A fair way in a Sprite, but what great fun.
Geoff Graham’s unusual hardtop. 
Day 2 was Anzac Day so several of us went to the dawn service in Bright. After that we grabbed some breakfast ready for the drivers meeting, which we had each morning prior to departing. At these meetings John explained the day’s activities, and pointed out things we should watch out for like rough patches of road. This morning he mentioned a landslide that had taken out the road, and was being re-built. So we off for Mount Hotham, but soon we were stopped at the landslide. Well it was about the size of a football ground. A bushfire followed by a storm had made the hill very unstable, so down it came. Eventually we got going and drove some very twisty Sprite roads, most cars had the tops down, and the wind factor must have been about -10-15 degrees. So you needed to be buying viagra from canada well rugged up. Snow on the roadside.
Mt Morning tea at Hotham.
From there we went to Omeo, re-fuelled and looked at the old Goal. Then continued on to Anglers Rest, which is a motel for trout fisherman, but is attached to an old hotel called the Blue Duck Inn. He we all had great lunches some had trout caught that morning from the adjacent stream.
A parrot tried to steal my bread from our table, knocking over glasses and cups in the process. After lunch we headed to Falls Creek, another great road. Here it was very windy and cold, and was about to start raining or snowing. One left hand corner went around almost 360 degrees. Then a treat awaited us at Mt Beauty, a fudge factory. A Police patrol stopped and asked about all the Sprites, and was quite interested in our run; however he was amazed that we had the tops down. From Mt Beauty we headed back to Bright. This day we travelled 245 km. Chris Brine’s car was misfiring and he was having trouble getting gears. So to the rescue came Graham Hately and Lachlan Fowler. Lockie bled the clutch, while Graham adjusted the pedal and re-tuned the weber carbie. Soon Chris was smiling and the car was near perfect. Dinner was out at Rae and Alby Turner’s property just out of town. So we went into Bright and bought meat to BBQ, wine and nibbles. I bought a long sleeve T-Shirt as I was not quite warm enough on the mountain runs. Out at the BBQ the Turners had prepared a campfire, BBQ, Pizza oven. They went to enormous trouble to make us all welcome.
Day 3 we travelled up to Mt Buffalo to see the old chalet. This has sadly been closed as it does not meet modern health and safety regulations. Great views from up here, at the top of a challenging drive up the mountain. Morning tea was at the historic Homestead Estate Winery at Happy Valley. A truly beautiful property, which is also a winery.
So scones and jam with cream, wine tasting, olive tasting and tour of the homestead. A group photo was taken on the front steps of all of us. Lunch was at Tallangatta. The baker shop sold out of pies, but they made great sandwiches. Then with a couple of stops we arrived at Corryong for our night’s stay. After a tour of the local museum we retired to the motel. We had completed 275km. out came the nibbles, wine, beer, etc. and very soon a group formed. Then a short walk up to the local for dinner. John had organized a discount special set menu. Geoff Graham entertained several of us at the bar. Sometime during the day I lost my reading glasses, but bought a pair at the hemist.
Day 4 the first destination was morning tea at Cabramurra, the highest town in Australia. Another great drive to get there. Here we bought fuel from a self-serve pump, took me a while to figure how it worked. Morning tea had been pre-arranged to save time-great idea. From here we headed back down the mountain to Southern Cloud Memorial lookout. From the lookout you see a huge mountain. Signboard here gave details of a plane crash into mountains in the 1930’s. Lunch was at the Walwa pub, which was again pre-arranged. $18 for a roast beef lunch. They were selling caps and stickers with ‘Where the F#*? Is WALWA PUB on them. In mid afternoon we stopped at the Wymah Ferry to cross the Murray River. After last year crossing the Murray 10 times in South Australia this was an extra crossing, but at the highest level of the Murray. Another stop was made at the site of the old Hume Weir Racing circuit. Tony Young told us about the track, re-calling an early Sprite Challenge. Soon we arrived at the Boathaven Holiday Park. After some confusion we all found our cabins, and out came the nibbles and drinks. Then we all assembled at the central Hall for dinner. The previous night John had taken our orders for Pizzas, and Harry the Seik Indian complete with Turban and Aussie ascent delivered 44 boxes with our names on each box. Pretty soon we were all eating and making a huge noise. A few thank you speeches were made, and the night concluded. That day we drove 294 km.
Day 5 The final day. A few good byes were done before we left as people were starting to go in various directions. Our first stop was Yackandandah, just for a look as this a very interesting town, with some quirky shops. Then on to the famous Beechworth Bakery. Here you can have and I did a ‘Ned Kelly’pie, which is a meat pie with bacon, egg and cheese on top, a complete breakfast. Here along with Garry and Molly, Chris and Tina we decided to head back to Melbourne, as Tony Bennetto would we waiting to let us into his factory to load our cars on to the trailers. So we said our good byes and headed off. This we did arriving at Tony’s only to find the trailers were hitched to the tow cars, all we had to was load them on. We then headed off stopping a clear of Melbourne. The rest of the group had a slower trip back to the Yarra Glen for a goodbye gathering, then on to Lilydale for the official finish.
In total we drove in 5 days, 1539 km. You may think that’s not far, but the roads were very technical, but such fun. In my group were three hot 1275 Sprites, a very hot 1098 Sprite and a 998 Sprite and my 948 Sprite. However I did find keeping up hard work, and long periods at high revs in second gear. Some hills were 70% third gear, 25% second gear and only 5% fourth gear. Everybody was enjoying themselves, and the size of the groups seemed to work very well, and John Fowler’s organization worked perfectly. Car problems were minimal, Garry Boyd needed at starter motor repaired and David King needed a re-placement generator , the auto-electrician in Bright fixed both of these problems very quickly. John is thinking about doing it all again in 2015, all things equal Di and I we will be there along with many others.
PS. Photos were from David King’s list of photos combined with some of mine.

Pot luck dinner wrap up
POT LUCK DINNER
Well done and many thanks to the hosts for holding a very enjoyable Pot buy viagra online uk Luck dinner in their very comfortable home.
Although healthy weight watching food and dieting was a popular tropic of conversation it could not have been adhered to closely as 20 people ate their way through a delicious smorgasbord of hot dishes and sweets enough to feed 50 people at least. Of course it was all healthy and home cooked but the quantity consumed ???
Naturally to compliment the food a nice range of fine wines were drunk (responsibly and in moderation as you would expect from Sprite Club members)
While travel, weddings and well being featured in the women’s conversation, politics, solving the problems of the world, rebuilding Sprites and lots of jokes kept the men entertained.
All in all it was a great thing to do on a winter’s night and 20 people had lots of fun and got to sign their names in THE ATTENDANCE BOOK and those of you that did not come BIG MISTAKE.

Hello,my name is Joe and I own a general mechanic/motorcycle/auto electrical business in Richmond.I’ve owned and specialised in minis for over 20 years and it’s always been a dream of mine to restore a MK1 bugeye since I could remember! I have seen a bugeye in Victoria and I am cheapest viagra to buy online in uk quite keen on it however my business partner who had alot to do with there cars in the early days is trying to talk me out of it,not because he doesn’t like the cars but because I’m 6″4′ and am a fair bit bigger than the average man and assures me that minis have alot more room in them than the sprites.So the question I have for any one in the club is would it be possible for me to have a look at ine up close and possibly sit in one? Our work shop is call Jack & Joe’s mechanical services at 17 Deacon ave Richmond,and we Know Bob Basica reasonably well from MG car sales so he can be a good reference for me.

The Mid-Week Run
To-day we held the first mid-week run for our Club. Attending were Garry & Fay Brock (MGB GT), Garry Beaton & Molly (Sprite Mk3a), Miles & Bev Jackson ( Sprite Mk2a) and ourselves in our Bug-Eye. Two couples had to cancel, so it was a small group. Our President joined us for lunch. The weather was not buy viagra overnight delivery great, but we managed to dodge the worst of it.
The run started at Hazelwood Park winding it’s way through the hills to the Mount Torrens Hotel. On the way we stopped at Johnsons Cordial Factory at Balhannah for morning tea and cordial tasting. While there a huge down pour occurred, but we missed driving through it.The route we took was not direct, but we used some great roads which were mostly deserted. No motor bikes, no cycles.
While the attendance was small I feel we should persist with the concept of the mid-week run, as all agreed it was a good idea. The Hotel great and we had all to ourselves. So when we do it next time please try it out.

Ken's famous pub lunch run wrap up
From Barb
1 Sprite, 1 MG and 1 bugeye along with 3 modern day cars ventured through the hills for Kens Pub Lunch run.
After leaving the Club rooms we wound our way through Blackwood, Coromandel Valley and up into Mylor generic viagra soft tabs on a beautiful morning. We travelled through very picturesque roads with the autums leaves just turning, and luckily it was one of the runs where we did not have the lycria’s on the road. Heading towards Echunga we turned to Flaxley and made our way to Mt Barker ending up at the Bridgewater Hotel, where Chris and tina joined us. It was lovely inside the beautiful old hotel and the food was to die for. After a few refreshments and an enjoyable luncheon, we all headed off our different ways, some to shop while others, although they said they were babysitting dogs, we figure it was really to watch the Showdown. Anyway, congratulation to Port and thanks to Ken and Mary

Lots of nibbles, including Molly’s wonderfully exhilirating prawn crackers, and along with the barbie food and sweets, which were mouthwateringly delicious, none fattening of course, ha ha ha!, and with all the alcoholic beverages one could imagine, make it an enjoyable day.

Fantastic driving & scenic roads have been chosen for all sections of this 5 day tour at an average of 300km / day.
Magnificent product. Very much helped my husband. Cialis online canada pharmacy. The difference between a brand name medicine and a generic one is in the name, shape and in the price.
The drive from Lilydale / Coldstream up to Bright, and the return home from Hume Weir to Lilydale all form part of the event over selected ‘Spritely’ touring roads with scenic stops along the way.
TOUR SUMMARY:
Wednesday 24th April: Travel from Lilydale/Coldstream to Bright overnight via Thornton, Jamieson, Benalla and Milawa.
Thursday 25th : Travel from Bright to Mt Hotham, Omeo and Anglers Rest, Mt Beauty and back to Bright overnight again.
Friday 26th : Travel from Bright to Corryong overnight via Mt Buffalo, Happy Valley and Tallangatta.
Saturday 27th: Travel from Corryong to Ebden on Lake Hume via Cabramurra, Elliot Way, Walwa and Bell Bridge.

ACCOMMODATION:
There has been a huge response to this event, and it is almost full, with 18 couples already booked in with their deposits paid for the accommodation. We have 5 couples from SA, 2 couples from NSW, and the rest from Vic.
In fact there is only one room left at the Corryong Mountain View Motel (we have all the rooms and phone numbers in the previous listing) so any extra folk will have to try the Corryong Country Inn (02 6076 1333) over the road back towards the centre of town a few hundred metres. (The Corryong Hotel Motel (02 6076 1004) booked for the evening meal, is about half way between, and has cheaper ‘basic’ workman type cabins out the back too.).
However at the other o/n venues there are a couple of cabins left that are still reserved for us.
MEALS: All the evening meal venues have been booked as well as a couple of lunch venues, but meal choices will be yours, and pay as you go.
NUMBERS:
I will ‘cap’ the numbers to about 21- 24 couples, as otherwise we will have too many at the venues and on the road, even though I will split everyone into 3 touring speed groups.
ROUTE:
There has been a small modification to the routes that will not affect those coming from NSW. The group has voted to modify the route up, to include the Thornton-Jamieson run, and do the Whitfield-Mansfield run on the way back. I have further details if you need them. All else is the same as listed earlier.
BOOKINGS:
If you do want to make a booking (at all 3 venues) please let me know so I can keep a track of numbers, and for catering purposes etc, and for further contact about updates.
It is all very exciting, and the Second Newsletter with more details for those attending is about to be e-mailed out.
If you have any further queries contact John Fowler on 0400 278 375 or jfowler@dcsi.net.au
Mid week run wrap up
From Barb…
“WOW WOW WOW” those who chose not to attend last nights mid week run missed out on an event worthwhile going to.
On a very warm evening, 15 members met at Pat and Mike’s home for drinks and nibbles and then we all wound our way down to the Sailmaster at North Haven, via Glenelg, West Beach, Henley Beach, Semaphore, Fort Glanville, noting many wonderful sights of Adelaide along our journey. Some members met us there, while others like John made hasty urgent repairs on the side of the rode to continue his journey.
The meals were fantastic, the drinks were brillantly cold and the conversations were riviting and very informative. Thanks again to the McLaren’s for taking the time to prepare, book and make an enjoyable run/evening for those who attended.

Midget for sale!
I have a unique 1978 MG Midget for sale. Speedo is in Kilometres. The car is left hand drive, delivered new to Japan. Ex factory unleaded fuel. New hood. Body is absolutely exceptional. I don’t think it ever had any rust in its entire life. Only covered 35,000 kilometres. Interior would seem to verify that the speedo reading is correct. Little things like sun visor clips are showing their age as did the hood and side mirrors. Minilite styled mags. Near new tyres. Registered in South Australia. $8,500. You would be able to historic register it if you left it as is, I would believe. It just looks so pretty on the road. I bought it on impulse with the idea that I’d hot it up and leave it in France for people to use around Europe. The economics just don’t stack up and the French authorities are obstructive re hotting it up. Call David Tye on 0403600600.

5 ferries run (actually 10 ferries)
THE FIVE FERRIES RUN SEPTEMBER 2012
The Sprite Club of South Australia was looking for a iconic event to mark the 40th Anniversary of the Club. In recent times we had been on the ”2011 Lap of Tassie” and the ”2012 Festival of Sprites”. Now these events were both very well planned and run,so the pressure was on our club to come up something of a high standard.
Chris Brine came up with the idea of the 5 Ferries Run. 
To explain the idea was to cross the Murray River 5 times by ferry. This would be part of a week long drive. So a route was planned, expressions of interest sought. Interest was very slow at the beginning, then after a visit to the ”2012 Festival of Sprites” in Wangaratta entries from interstate stated to flow in and very soon more came in from our Club.
Soon we passed out target of 18 cars so we had to put a limit of 23 cars. Two couples later cancelled leaving 21 cars. Deposits were paid and accommodation booked, meals arranged and so the planning was up and running.As we had a reasonable amount of peiople in the group we used those numbers to secure discounts at all of the accommodation houses and for our evening meals. The concept of the run was not to be a convoy, each entrant would be free to go wherever they wished and meet up at the accommodation venue at the end of each day
Then a book was put together containing route instructions, great maps with the routes clearly marked. John Whitburn came to rescue here and showed us his map expertise. Also mobile phone numbers of entrants, a complaints number 1300MUMBAI and diversions such as places our interstate visitors could visit, now numbering 11 people from Victoria and 4 from NSW . This proved to again be a bigger job than first envisaged. Sponsorship was sought and Shannons Insurance helped us out.
The night before the start a ‘Meet and Greet’ BBQ was held at Chris and Tina Brine’s home. Here we had Rocker Cover Racing and then handed out the Route Instruction books. 
It was an early night as the start was at nine next morning.The Interstate visitors received a bag of special South Austrailian goodies. Paul Doube gave us some wine to drink, and was much appreciated.
On the preceding week things begain to hapsent an SMS to Neil and Lorinna Scott from Sydney wishing them a safe journey. Three minutes later the phone rang and they had lost a wheel off their new trailer, just north of Goulburn. After much stress and drama the trailer was repaired in Goulburn and they continued to Melbourne. Here they joined up with 6 other Sprites and came over to Adelaide via the Great Ocean road. Tony Bennetto organized this part of the trip for the Victorians, but were joined by 2 cars from NSW. Also Tony Benntto (Bugeye Barn) and Stan Hudson (now known as Belvidere) brought along a ute filled with spares and towing Neil Scott’s trailer.A great source of comfort!
Another drama also emerged John Fowler rang from Horsham with the problem a broke telescopic shock absorber.He assured me he could get to Adelaide but wanted to pick up a replacement shocker from a Repco shop in Adelaide. I agreed to do this for him a give it to him on arrival. We arranged to meet him at Hahndorf. He arrived about mid-day and Gary Beaton was there and Garry Boyd. It was decided it would be better to weld up the old shocker, as the replacement while having the eyes at the right distance apart, was from a Nissan Pathfinder, so likely to be too big, and it was. I gave them some motor cycle fork oil and off they went to Gary Beaton’s place to weld up the shocker. It took them all afternoon, but the result was all good. Meanwhile we waited and finally the Great Ocean Road group arrived. They went off to their Motel and Neil and Lorinna Scott followed us back to our place where they were staying. Graham and Margaret Hately were also staying with us, and Graham was sent to the Airport to collect Margaret.
The start of the was at the rear of the Burnside Town Hall.
All cars assembed on time and hoping for a nice Spritely drive through the Adelaide Hills to stop at the Birdwood Mill Motor Museum, for a look and morning tea. Some non entrants members came along on this part of the run. However just before we took off Peter Dineen discovered he had a leaking front brake line on his Morris 1100S. Quickly Tony Bennetto and his trusty assistant Stan the Scotsman, now with the nick named ”Belvidere” soon had the car jacked up the line replaced , brakes bleed and Peter was on his way, only to get a flat tyre and few other problems, but after 2 days all was sorted and he continued on
After morning tea the group headed at their own pace and not in convoy to the Barossa Valley where all had lunch. Some went up to Menglers Hill to see the view over the Barossa Valley. Members of the public spotted our cars and took photos, had photos taken and asked a lot of questions. It is amazing how much interest these cars create. A new Nissan 370Z pulled up and nobody took any notice, and even it’s owner took a long look at our cars.
We then went ‘Maggie Beers’ gourmet foods centre. Jim Dewar mentioned he was feeling unwell. We went inside the shop, and when we came he was feeling worse. So after some assesment we dialled 000 and got an ambulance and off he went to the Angaston Hospital. They kept him overnight and released him next morning. His car went on the trailer for that day. The following day he travelled in the ute. That night we stayed in Angaston and all had drinks around our rooms before going to dinner at the 40’s cafe. This was a good night a lot of noise and great food. 
Next morning we all went into the Blond Cafe for breakfast. Here the manageress wanted some of our cars to line up out front for a photo shute.She wanted to put them on her website.
From Angaston we headed for Clare,again in small groups. We had morning tea at Tarlee others found other spots. Then we went to Mintaro and found a nice pub and had a couple of beers. Some had lunch, but the pub ran out of toasted sandwiches and could not make anymore. Martindale Hall was near by so we went there, a bit like going to a stately home in the UK. Well worth a visit. 
Then we had lunch near Seven Hills at the bakery and went to Seven Hill
winery and Saint Alosyious Church. In the winery we saw ageing barrels of port, etc and somebody asked who might have a cordless drill? As we arrived at the Motel most had beaten us there. Here again we had a few pre-dinner drinks, then had dinner in the motel. Again a good meal.
Next morning we ckecked with Jim Dewar as to how he was feeling and he was fine so he drove from that point on. We had made arrangements to go to Clare Model Engineers Railway. This was great riding on model trains through a well made park with bridges, crossings, signals and tunnels. There was a steam engine, plus a couple trains powered by lawn mower engines. 
After about a hour we set off for Morgan stopping at Burra for morning tea. Some went off to explore diferent parts of the town. Finally we arrived at Morgan at about lunch time. After checking to our various accommodation. Peope were staying in three different venues, as we had virtually booked out the whole town. After checking in we walked down to the centre of town and found the pub and had a couple of drinks, then walked back to the room. We had made arrangements for the Morgan Community Development Tourism Association to put on a BBQ for us down beside the Murray River. Well they did themselves proud, it was a great chicken meal cooked on a charcoal BBQ, served with salads and home made cakes for dessert,they also had games,quizes with prizes. Then next morning they cooked us a BBQ breakfast all for $22.00 per head, that’s the dinner and breakfast. They opened the Museum especially for us, then some of them rushed off to work. Great country community spirit at work.It is a real pity these towns are struggling.
Then we started what was to be 10 Ferry crossings over the Murray plus 2 over a bridge. First was Morgan followed by Cadell,(recently saved from closing by vocal protests from the surronding area), then Morgan again. Then a drive to Blanchetown over the bridge and back again on to Swan Reach. Here we had lunch at the pub and decided to see if we could get 15 Sprites on the Ferry. Chris Brine approached the Ferry Master and he was most helpful. So we put all 15 of our Sprites on the Ferry and took many photos. Take a look at our website to view this on U-tube. Tony Bennetto wanted a photo for his Bug-Eye Barn 2013 Calendar.
Next stop was at the Walker Flat Crossing for half price coffee that we had set up weeks before. I phoned the day before just to remind them , but they forgot to tell the lady filling for the owners. We still got our cheap coffee, but she got a bit stressed with the sudden influx. From there to the Purnong crossing, some missed the turn off, easily done. From there we stopped at a great look-out on a small section of dirt road, then travelled along beside the Murray for a while coming out at the Mannum crossing.
Then we found our Motel and checked in.Graham Hately had a problem with his exhaust breaking, so he needed to find a welder. After asking around the Motel manager took him to his house where Grahan did the welding, brought it back to the Motel fitted it, and joined in the pre-dinner drinks. Here we had a great dinner around a good bar.
We awoke to a sunny day and drove up to the Mannum lookout after walking the town.Some went to the Museum of town.
Stan (Belevedere) was booked for not wearing his seat belt while reversing the ute and trailer. We all thought this was unfair and just revenue raising. That night we sent the hat around and raised about half of his fine. Before we left for Goolwa, Gary Brock was complaining his MGGT was overheating. The top radiator hose was hot, but the bottom was cold, so no circulation, so Gary and Fay went home to Gumeracha.He has since repaired the problem.
The destination that night was Goolwa, so we drove to Murray Bridge, then Jervious and crossed the river again then around to the Wellington crossing and on to Milang. Here we found a good bakery and had lunch. Just a few k’s down the road we stopped at Curt Heinrich’s home to see his model trains and steam engines. Well what a great set up, a huge model train complete with landscape, buildings all with lights and sound effects. Then in another part of his shed is the steam boat, and in the house is more steam engines and trains. All were asking their wives could they extend there collections into the kitchen and loungrooms, all were given filthy looks of rejection. From here in very strong winds we continued to Goowa. At Goolwa we had pre-dinner drinks then went in for our meal at the motel. Some of our Goolwa members joined us for dinner.
On the Friday I took a group on a run to Victor Harbor, Inman Valley and up the Mt Alma Hillclimb. Here we sent only 3 cars up at a time, then waited for their retun. It is great hill, but a bit steep (17 degrees) for a Sprite, but still good fun. We stopped at the Glacier Rock Cafe for Coffee then drove in a loop around Myponga and Hindmarsh Valley back to Victor Harbor for lunch.Some walked over to Granite Island. Then went back to Goolwa to the Motor Museum.Here there was a good display of cars, two idential Mark 5 blackJaguar dropheads, one had been owned by Bob Jane and a melbourne car dealer, the other by a convicted drug dealer. Then back to the Motel Again pre-dinner drinks and Dinner.
Next morning we had BBQ cooked breakfast kindly put on by Helen King’s at her home. Then we headed back to Adelaide stopping at the Scarpantoni Winery at McLaten Flat for supplies of the $50 per dozen clean skin shiraz. John Fowler was complaing of a broken exhaust bracket, so together wth Neil and Lorinna Scott, Margrat and Graham Hately we went back to our place. Very soon we had the pipe off, Grahame made up a bracket and welded on and John was on his way after some lunch.
That night the Club had the Big 40th anniversary Dinner at the Wellington Hotel in North Adelaide. Kerry Bennetto flew in from Melbourne specially. We saw the Crows get beaten on TV, but the night was great. All the Speeches were made, people thanked, Club history re-called. The drink budget of $2000 was soon consumed and the interstate visitors bid farewell. What a week it had all gone very quickly.
Gary Boyd returned the following week to collect the Bugeye he bought from Peter Emes the morning of the start of the 5 Ferries Run. Peter brought it round to the Motel at 7:30am, Gary and Tony Bennetto checked out and a deal was struck.While it is leaving the State it will be in good hands and seen again.
Our guests left on the Sunday morning. Neil And Lorinna Scott headed for Melbourne, but stopped at Ararat as did John Fowler. Then on to Melbourne where they stayed a couple of days with Tony Bennetto before loading the Sprite on to trailer and driving back to Sydney. Graham and Margaret Hately left our place and drove to Swan Hill, planning to take a couple of days to drive back to Sydney. However a friend of theirs phoned and asked if they could stay at their place on the Wednesday, so they drove to Sydney non stop from Swan Hill, over 900k’s in a MG Midget. I hear at times some of our members complaing about driving their Sprite for more than one hour!
Was the whole thing a success? Yes I believe it was as, by the positive comments that flowed .
Should we do it again? Yes we should, as we now have the template, but I would like somebody else to take up the challenge. Perhaps 2015.

Spanner day wash up
Hi fellow Sprite drivers, We had a great day at the Felix’s garage with many cars getting a carbi tickle. Some were not that bad but it was good to see them performing better. Some needed attention and one even gave me grief with the fast idle screws from the choke causing some issues. Needless to say the audience were merciless. Thanks to the chefs we had a nice lunch and fellowship. I hope all had a good time.

CONDITIONAL HISTORIC SCHEME – Important!!
The Conditional Historic Registration Scheme has been developed to allow vehicles manufactured before 1st January 1979 (of either right or left hand drive) to be registered conditionally so they can be used for a maximum of 90 days per year.
The Federation of Historic Motoring Clubs and Transport SA has granted the Sprite Club of SA the authority to approve Conditional Registration for Austin Healey Sprites and MG Midgets. Gaining this authority requires the Sprite Club and it’s officers and members to abide by a Code of Practice that outlines the responsibilities for all people using this registration scheme.
For a detailed description of the ‘NEW’ processes and your responsibilities under the amendments to the scheme please refer to the club letter below and the other documents attached. Or the club Historic Rego Page.

Tyre Pressure
Thanks to Gordon’s diligent perusing of the Speedwell’s website (re: Rocker Cover Racers) he found the following info…
http://www.speedwellengineering.com/2010/09/tire-pressure-we-dont-need-no-stinking-tire-pressure/
Tire Pressure? We don’t need no stinking tire pressure
Just a quick note here. Long time ago I, like many of us have always stuck to the general tire manufacturer’s inflation recommendation. Typically for a 13 inch tire they’ll say anywhere’s from 28 to 32 psi, correct? That’s based on a car weighing in at around 2,000 pounds. Believe it or not, if you’re running a modern tire of just about any size on a Spridget, you actually want to be running about 18-20 psi cold on the side-curtain cars, and 20-22 psi on the roll-up window cars since they weigh a bit more. Aside from riding more smoothly at the lower pressure, you most likely find it to be less “darty” over bumps and will stick to the road so much better. Give it a try, if you don’t agree with the results, the worst-case scenario is that you’ll have that painstaking task of putting air back into the tires! Also, if you’re really adventurous, try setting your toe-in at zero instead of the BMC called for 1/16″ toe-in. I’d love to hear from any and all of you about your findings if you try it. I might even post views telling me I’m full of horse-hockey, too!
Looking for A Lost Car
Wilf Savage from Victoria is trying to trace the whereabouts of his old Mark3 Sprite reg no RCM 957 which he sold in Adelaide in 1970. The car was apparently owned by a C or R Ritchie of Uraidla and its rego lapsed in 1982. Anyone with any information could they please email wilfnik.savage@westnet.com.au

2012 Festival of Sprites
Go to the image section of the website. Some photos of the Festival of Sprites are now up for viewing.
2012 Festival of Sprites
The 2012 Festival of Sprites was an outstanding event. David & Di Low, Chris & Tina Brine, Helen King, Sue & Helen Stephenson attended along with about 90 other people from all mainland states.
Wednesday 25th. We drove all day to get there. Unloaded the cars from the trailers, then down for the ‘Meet and greet ‘drinks’ and a casual meal.
Thursday 26th. Competition cars went to the Winton track for Sprints and Regularity. The rest went on an economy run, with lunch at the Winton track. Here we watched the track cars for an hour before setting off on a casual drive around the district. Some went in a bus. I managed 3rd place in the economy run.. That night we had ‘Rocker Cover’ racing. Chris and I entered, but need to do more to win. This is great fun and we need to do it in our Club.
Friday 27th. All participants (about 38 Sprites, obviously could not include the unregistered Competition Sprites) went in an economy run to Yackandandah. Here we had lunch provided by the Anglican Church ladies, so it was all home cooked. Then run continued all afternoon, we got a bit lost, but who cares. That night was the Hawaiian night. So all dressed accordingly. Some people love to dress as idiots. That night a recorded interview with Stirling Moss was shown, this was really something special as it can be hard getting him to an interview.
Saturday 28th. All the cars lined up for the Concourse. The cars were arranged in a random manner , not lined up in rows. This showed the cars off in a better way and was much easier to take photos.The cars were then judged, but only the best were judged as time did not allow all cars to be judged. I was a judge and was amazed how it was all done. The winning 2 cars, were amazing, and both are driven on a regular basis. In fact the winning Bug-Eye was driven down from Sydney and last year around Tasmania. (Chris ended up in 8th place) This was followed by a Motokhana on bitumen, here we saw some very skillful driving. That night the theme was Black and White, so we had small time criminals, Darth Vader, Charlie Chaplin, Choir Boys, Yasar Arafat. Everybody had a go. Then we had a live skype video link call to John Sprinzel in Hawaii. We got him out of bed at midnight, but he happily agreed. Great Stuff. Then all the usual thank you speeches and results were dealt with.By this time we had our cars back on the trailer ready for the big drive after a good breakfast early on Sunday morning.
In summary it was a great weekend, well worth the effort and expense, in fact it was excellent value for money. I really do hope more of our members make the effort to go to one of these events, it is so enjoyable, you meet so many great people. Many made huge efforts to get there. One WA couple shipped their Bug eye to Brisbane, then drove down and afterwards were driving it Melbourne, where it would be shipped back to WA. 4 cars came down from Queensland. Chris and myself would really like the Club to embrace this event as we know you would just love it.

Welcome
Hi Everyone
So here it is – the new website is finally done…sorry about the delay 🙂
You’ll see that it’s pretty much the same content as the old site just a bit prettier and allows for easier placement of images etc.
We will institute a new format for the club magazine shortly and provide an archive under the members area for things of interest from the old site in coming weeks. We want you all to be part of the new site and be able to comment and be active on it – I’ll email you shortly with details of logins etc. Sorry if some things aren’t perfect but I had a few issues with the changeover to the ‘live’ site hopefully to be fixed soon(ish).
Thanks for your ongoing support of the club!
