Have a discussion with the current incumbent to find out exactly what is required if you are interested in that position. There is always someone that can help out if you are expecting to be away during the year too.

Club Notices

TO ALL STHARC CLUB MEMBERS. I would like to express my sincere thanks and gratitude for the Encouragement Award which I received from St Harc club members on Saturday night 16/5/2009. I would also like to also to thank Independent Steel for donating the award.

I was totally unprepared for the event which followed and was lost for words completely when my name was announced. Now I can express my appreciation for inclusion in the club magazine.

Both Marilou and I thoroughly enjoyed the Club Dinner night. The venue and the meal along with the entertainment were excellent. The Club organisers of the dinner did a fantastic job of organising everything and deserve a hearty thanks.

Rod Lawson and Marilou

with perfect weather. Organisers appreciated our attendance as numbers in the Grand Parade were a bit down. The Collector Pumpkin Festival attracted thou-sands! 6 Cars from our Club attended and enjoyed the displays. About 30 cars from Goulburn, the Riley Club and ourselves were displayed in a special roped off area. The largest pumpkin weighed in at 253Kg – a lot of pumpkin soup! Chris & Allan Boyd attended the Ariel Australian Rally at Evans Head and got flooded out.

Participants have been asked to drive with their lights on. The Rolls Club were joining us at the Club house. Following the success of the Bush Council Rally at Dubbo this year, club members were en-couraged to attend the Rally next year at Wagga from 2 – 5 April.

Battle of Waterloo Sunday 21 June 10am – 3pm - 9.30am start

This is the traditional “battle of numbers” between British and French made vehicles. It is important that we support this event as it has de-clined in the past two years and it can be a lot of fun ‘poking fun at your opposition across the channel’!

Meet at the Guides Hall at 9.15 for a 9.30 start, travel to the Battle to be held on the West Lawns, Old Parliament House.

The event is sponsored by Shannons and there will be ‘door prizes’, a coffee van and the Pug Club is running a BBQ – so you can stay warm despite any untoward weather that may be experienced.

Chris and I will not be there due to a previous commitment; however we hope to make an appearance about 1.45 on our English motorcycle.

Run coordinator: John Corbett phone 6297 7285 Happy Heritage Motoring.

A QUESTION TO BE VOTED ON AT THE JUNE MEETING STHARC did such a god job of catering for the Ariel Rally last year, we have been asked to cater again for the 2010 Rally on the 23rd to 25th January.

However, there was a lot of effort required by the club members to prepare and serve the lunches last time and the current catering organizers want a rest.

If you would like the Club to do the catering, please consider if you would like to organize the catering or what assistance you would be able to provide.

The Ariel Rally co-ordinators (Allan and Chris) need to know if the Club is prepared to take on the catering before the end of June, so the club needs to make a decision at the June meeting. If you have a view or would like to volunteer and are unable to attend the June meeting, please call Allan Boyd prior to the meeting. Membership renewal forms are included in this edition. Please make Garry happy and renew your membership at the June meeting. The AGM is coming up in August –please consider nominating for a Committee position. Being on the Committee is a great way to get to know fellow members better and to ensure the continued success of the club

BREAKFAST WITH THE STARS by Allan Boyd Thursday 14 May 2009 As a result of our invitation to the Quean-beyan Racing Club on National Motoring Heritage Day, Sunday 17 May we were asked to attend a photo shoot for the Queanbeyan Age newspaper on Monday 11 May and to “Breakfast with the Stars” on Thursday morning. As it was received at such short notice, we notified all STHARC members with an email address and 3 couples with their club cars attended the breakfast (7.30 – 9am). It was a cold, windy morning; however the Nock’s arrived in their RR Corniche with the hood down and coats and gloves on!, John and Rhonda Winnett in the Austin Cambridge and Chris and I in the BMW 633. We were treat-ed to a bbq breakfast, tea and cappuccinos which were served in the Members Bar area out of the wind. We could still see the track where some of the horses which will be racing in the Queanbeyan Cup on Sunday were doing some warm-up laps. We had an interesting talk with Queanbeyan Racing manager Paul Greentree who is keen for us to make some future appearances and offered use of the facilities at the racetrack. In all a great morn-ing and a worthwhile visit. Happy Heritage motoring.

WHAT TO DO IF… YOU SEE AN EMERGENCY VEHICLE It’s a situation most motorists will face sooner or later: a police car, fire engine or ambulance appearing in their rear-view mirror or coming towards them with its lights flashing and sirens blaring. You’re supposed to get out of their way, of course, but what are the laws surrounding this? Rules 78 and 79 in the Road Rules 2008 (as they apply in NSW) are relevant here and deal with keeping clear and giving way to police and emergency vehicles. Basically a driver must not move into the path of a police or emergency vehicle. If you are already in their path you must move or give way to the vehicle as soon as it is safe to do so. This means you are allowed to disobey other road rules to allow a clear path for po-lice or emergency vehicles, so long as their lights are flashing and/or they are sounding a siren. But remember: it must be safe to do so. Slowing and moving out of the way and – if necessary – stopping to avoid a collision may be required, particularly if the emergency vehicle is travelling on the wrong side of the road. If you are stopped, remain stationary until the vehicle has passed and it is safe to proceed. It’s most important to give emergency vehicles a clear, safe run – after all, lives could be at stake. From NRMA open road November/December 2008 p13

APHORISM: A SHORT, POINTED SENTENCE EXPRESSING A WISE OR CLEVER OBSERVATION OR A GENERAL TRUTH.

1. The nicest thing about the future is that it always starts tomorrow.

2. Money will buy a fine dog, but only kindness will make him wag his tail.

3. If you don't have a sense of humor, you probably don't have any sense at all.

4. Seat belts are not as confining as wheelchairs.

5. How come it takes so little time for a child who is afraid of the dark to become a teenager who wants to stay out all night?

6. Scratch a cat and you will have a permanent job.

7. No one has more driving ambition than the boy who wants to buy a car.

8. There are no new sins; the old ones just get more publicity.

9. I've reached the age where the happy hour is a nap.

10. Do you realize that in about 40 years, we'll have thousands of old ladies running around with tattoos? (And rap music will be the Golden Oldies!)

11. Money can't buy happiness -- but somehow it's more comfortable to cry in a Corvette than in a Hyundai.

12. Always be yourself because the people that matter don't mind, and the ones who mind, don't matter!

BUSH CHRISTMAS IN JULY – JULY 2009

We have had two successful previous events involving visits to the

Chinese Embassy. Our friends from the Embassy have indicated that they would like to hold another joint outing. We have also had a number of joint outings with nearby clubs in Yass, Goulburn and Cooma. The idea of inviting these clubs to join us for one of our Chinese Embassy runs has been well received by those to whom I have spoken.

It is proposed to hold a Christmas in July run on Sunday, 12th, 19th or 26th of July. !2 We cannot be certain about the actual date yet. By the time of the next meeting I hope to be able to put before mem-bers a more definite date. July is the preferred date but we have provided some options in case there is a major conflict for the Chi-nese.

The first part of the outing will be the convoy run to the Embassy and inspection for those who have not seen it before. If the other clubs join us we will have a good number of participants for whom this will be a new experience. Following the inspection of the Em-bassy building and grounds we will transport our hosts/guests in our cars to the lunch destination. On this occasion we are planning to have the BBQ lunch at our property at Sutton. One of our members who we seldom see at events, Tony Smith, has a hot air balloon and he has offered to bring it along for the day. Weather permitting he will tether the balloon and take visitors for a quick lift off and return to ground.

For the last event we also had old trucks, tractors, motor bikes and stationary engines. These created a lot of interest among our guests. If members are interested we could do this again. An ad-vantage offered by the chosen location is that we can have items for the stationary displays delivered to Sutton and parked here prior to the day and leave them here for collection until after the weekend. We don’t have under cover parking for these items but I think the security would be OK with them parked in the paddock in front of our house.

Braidwood Festival 2 May 2009 by Allan Boyd What a beautiful morning for a run – sun shining and no wind. We left from the Guides Hall on time at 9.30am with 4 vehicles; as arranged we met up with Brian and Benita Thomas at Bungendore and John Corbett caught us up also. We drove on to the Shoalhaven River rest area for a morning tea stop where we met up with Norm Betts. It is interesting to note the increas-ing number of travellers using this area to camp overnight. After a quick cuppa we proceeded to Braidwood where we were joined by the Brown’s and the Stanley’s.

Ryrie Park at the top of the town was the main venue with many stalls sell-ing or promoting a range of items including a mobile blacksmiths shop and many delicious food outlets. And it would not be a country festival without the working stationary engines and a whip cracking display. Many mem-bers were seen purchasing a variety of items.

At 12.30 we were asked to meet at the lower end of Wallace Street (Braidwood’s main street) to assemble for the start of the parade scheduled for 1.00pm. Spectators lined the street and enjoyed the parade, and I’m sure the local businesses and the hotel were well patronized. There were some ‘floats’ from local organizations and clubs; the horse drawn ‘hearse’ was an immaculate restoration. There was a large range of vehicles from various automotive clubs; the micro car club, the Shoalhaven Car Club, Morris Minor and MG clubs, and our STHARC vehicles.

Warren and Jodie in their Holden ‘Sandman’ joined us for the Parade. The two old STHARC Chevs attracted quite a bit of attention as did one of the micro cars, an Austin 7 that had one of the loudest horns from such a small car much to the glee of the kids. The motorcycles followed up at the rear of the cars; Alan Stanley on his AJS, Don Rapier (a local) on a Sunbeam S7, and me on my Ariel. Behind us were some great old tractors, the SES and the final vehicles were from the Bush Fire Brigade sounding their horns that entertained the spectators. The parade was turned onto a side street and Wallace Street re-opened to the traffic.

Our STHARC group met for a chat in Wallace Street before most headed home in convoy. I rode the Ariel out of town to the showground then loaded it back into the VW ‘Green Dragon’ van for the trip home. In all a great day in perfect weather.

Mustering Renaults Every two years, the Renault 4CV Register of Australia has a national Mus-ter, usually somewhere in central western NSW. This year’s event, the elev-enth, was held in Young and organised by former STHARC members, Les and Pam Warren.

The Register takes in not just the 4CV (750 if you must), but also the later rear-engined passenger vehicles, as trace their ancestry and design to the legendary 4CV (four French rated horsepower). That covers Dauphines, Flo-ride and Caravelle cabrios, R8, R10 sedans, and the famous Alpine series of sporting coupes. Honorary coverage also is extended to the early R4s sold in Australia, which essentially had 4CV mechanicals moved to the front, to give front wheel drive.

This year, a total of 30 vehicles took part, coming from as far as Queensland, South Australia and, for the first time, Tasmania. Several members from Western Australia flew over to take part: one friend flew to Canberra, then drove my R10S to and from the event. I must shamefacedly admit to trailer-ing the 4CV there and back, behind the ‘modern’. Still, we enjoyed driving it around the Young district for the weekend.

We began the event with a tour to a very imposing and historic property called “Iandra Castle”. Truly amazing: out in the middle of rolling wheat fields, this 57 room mansion is almost totally improbable - and unknown to most Australians. The official description is that Iandra is an idiosyncratic example of Federation Romanesque architectural style with Tudor influ-ences”. I reckon I also could see Art Nouveau in the interior leadlighting and Mediaeval in the turrets. It’s well worth considering for a club visit if we’re out that way, but the timing may be difficult as it’s open only occasionally. From there we moved on to Greenthorpe, now mainly a railway siding with wheat silos and a pub (where we had lunch), but once the ‘company town’ for Ian-dra.

That afternoon we returned to Les’s shed which, not surprisingly, impressed everyone. The official dinner that evening was at the Jam Factory, a Young institution, which also features a dining room: we agreed here that the next Muster will be in Wellington.

The following day we began with a gathering for a photographic line-up at the former Young railway station, now converted to a Tourist Information Centre. Then it was on to a display of working steam stationary engines and a huge backyard “ride-on” railway, before wrapping up the day at a winery. The pace continued the following day, with visits to several collections and to the Chinese Tribute Park: Young is a former gold mining town and once had many Chinese gold miners.

As always, it was an enjoyable Easter gathering.

The 1913 T Ford Restoration (1972 – 1995) Lloyd and Marlene Adams

I commenced restoration on the 1913 Roadster in 1972, having just completed my 1915 Model T. I had been attending Tech College at night time for some years making front and rear mudguards and val-ances so I had a new set ready for the 1913.

The restoration started with a bare chassis sandblast, prime and paint. I had front and rear springs, shackles and hangers and U bolts, a set of 1913 rear axle housings but wanting a two speed Ruckstell diff. I eventually sourced one and with a lot of repairs and new bits, I bolted it on to the shackles. All that was missing now was the front axle and hubs, which took a while

and with new bearings, seals and dust caps. T Models don’t have front brakes but for the rear I ordered new shoes, linings and springs and associated bits from America. On went the rear hubs ready for the road wheels – the wheels were sandblasted and primed and 5 new Dunlop Super 90’s and tubes. I decided to use wire wheels and not wooden spoke wheels so the rear hubs had to be modified.

Steering arms, track rods were assembled with new pins and bushes and caps, steering shaft support bolted to the chassis, a fire wall cut out of woodchip to do the job until the polished wooden one was needed. Then on went the steering column, and hooked up the steer-ing assembly to the related parts. A steering wheel with no rim did the job to start, and then I put on the road wheels. At last I had a roll-ing chassis with the front wheels turning in every direction!

…and that was how the 1913 T Model Ford was for many years. While moving house and my collection of bits was distributed to friend’s houses for safe keeping and re-gathered once our new house was completed. Having no spare time to work on the road-ster, I still kept collecting parts that would be required at some later stage. The 1913 block that was cracked in the water jacket was

Southern Tablelands Heritage Automotive Restorers Club Inc. Page 19

welded and, again I started to build the motor. When I came to put the transmission on, I used a 1919 flywheel so at a later stage, when I was too old to crank, I could put a starter motor on. 1919 was the year Ford first installed a starter motor.

Again, another house move – this time to Burra and a few acres. Built a huge shed to store all cars and bits and pieces but now even less time to play with the roadster. Once I did start to build it again, it came together very quickly. I contacted Wally Brown to make the body woodwork and by this time I had the engine in and running. Sat the body on and like a boy with a new toy, drove it around the pad-dock! Next job was to skin the woodwork with new panels and get it ready for the paint job. I chose Two Pack Monza Red (Ford colour) and black. Next step, off to the upholsterer, Norm Betts.

A deadline was established by entry to the Griffith (NSW) 9T2 Model T Rally. Quickly ordered parts from America to finish off prior to the rally – order included a new radiator and a set of lights – head, side and tail.

Deadline was reached and we headed to Griffith for the Roadster’s first run. The car ran all week without any problems and won the People’s Choice Award.

The T Ford Rallies are held every 3 years with NSW, SA and Vic participating in turn. We attended the Adelaide rally in 1995 (T’s Alive in ’95) and a couple of Americans who expressed interest in buying the Roadster in Griffith were again interested in taking the car back to America but after all the hard work (not to mention the expense) it would have been very difficult for me to part with this particular car. We attended the next ral-ly in Victoria and drove it down the Great Ocean Road – Marlene’s knuck-les are still white from that experience. She has tried hard each time a rally looms to convince me to change to bungy jumping – thinks it would be safer.

Another house move again, this time it’s to Bungendore.

Centenary Tour Ford Model T 1908-2008 Rally Last year we headed off to Echuca for the very successful 100 year Centenary Rally attended by 250 T Models. By this time I realized I was not longer so young and fit and putting in that fly-wheel with the ring gear on all those years ago paid off. Off came the veteran oxhead and on with a 1919 oxhead. This model has a hole in it for a starter motor. Starter motor duly installed then it is necessary to keep the battery charged. Texas T Parts in Ameri-ca make an alternator to fit straight on a T Model so I ordered one.

The Echuca Rally was a hub rally and we were staying in Moama. Each morning there was a rolling starting from Echuca Port, and because of the number of entrants, we were split each day into two groups – green and yellow depending on your rally pack colour. It really paid to navigate from the maps provided as many people discovered that you could not just follow the old car in front as they may be going a different direction! Each day the rally covered around 200 kilometres. Runs were organized to Bendigo, Shepparton, Barham, and other small towns.

The only problems I have encountered with the Roadster on these rallies have been mainly operator error! No major problems experienced. Just driving it every 3 years, getting ready in the garage does not allow for small problems cropping up on long rally days or, as Marlene will tell you, does not give you the expe-rience required to negotiate in heavy traffic or at traffic lights on top of a hill!

By not living in town, it is much more difficult to take part in local events – these old cars attract much attention, and some road rage, as they tend to hold traffic up and are not designed to travel long distances. I am also a member of the Sydney T Ford Club but again, it is not possible to attend events so that’s why my T Ford’s usually just attend the T-Ford rallies held every 3 years, alternating between NSW, Vic and SA.

Accessories I have fitted to the car include: Jones Speedo, Dead Easy Pump, Distributor, outside engine oiler, steering damper, Ruckstell two speed diff, alternator, manifold cooker and Rocky Mountain brakes.

The “Aussie Manifold Cooker”, a reproduction of a popular accessory of the Model T era, was part of the Centenary Tour rally pack and was craft-ed especially for the rally and designed to suit right hand drive Model T’s – the production of these cookers consumed many hours of Committee member Geof Baulch’s time and used 702 kilograms of steel! Lunch is cooked whilst driving, if not, you just keep driving until the chook/spuds/soup is cooked! Backup sandwiches are always required.

Henry Ford designed and made hundreds of accesso-ries to suit the Model T – or had them produced by external parts suppliers.

The T Model Ford The Model T first came off the production line 100 years ago and was vot-ed car of the 20th Century.

Two red 1904 Model ‘A’ Ford Tonneau’s were the first Fords to come to Australia. One purchased by Mr G. J. Hoskins, and engineer and the other by Mr Mark Foy who was an early pioneer in motor vehicles and owned a large department store in Sydney.

For many and varied reasons from September 1916 to August 1917, no new Ford cars were shipped to Australia. The Australian government es-tablished policies to enable Australia to be more self-sufficient after experi-encing how vulnerable the country became in the First World War. It was soon discovered that Australia could not sustain an automobile industry at this time as it did not have the population, the means or the capacity to support it. A decision was made to import the chassis portion, making it necessary for the agents to assemble the components into a running chassis and provide a locally built body for the chassis. This policy has made the Australian T Model Ford different from the normal factory model and uniquely Australian models were produced with individual style and colour.

COLLECTOR PUMPKIN FESTIVAL Sunday 3 May by Allan Boyd In invitation to attend this event was received through the CACTMC and included in our ‘other events’. Following a couple of inquiries from STHARC members we contacted some members at short notice that we would attend. Sunday morning at 9am we had 3 starters who left from the Guides Hall, two more met us at Collector and John and Pam Senior from CCAMCC joined us also. We parked in the ‘vintage cars’ display area at the festi-val venue. There were about 15 vehicles already there from the GHCCC (Goulburn Club) many of whom are known to us. Also, more vehicles arrived from the Riley club and the CCAMCC and a few individ-ual classics. About 35 vehicles in all. Kit Friend from our Visit to Friends run came across and joined us for lunch also. The festival organisation and the layout of the facility were well planned with the separate heritage vehicle display area and a huge paddock for public parking that overflowed lining the streets of Collector. There were a great variety of stalls, displays, live country and western music on the back of a truck, a mechanical bull, wheel barrow races, nursery farm-yard, scarecrows in abundance, and plenty of food outlets featuring pumpkin dishes: pumpkin soup, scones, pies, cakes and of course a display of pumpkins in the community hall along with other items for ex-hibit and judging. Mark Carmody announced the winner of the largest pumpkin that weighed in at a massive 253 kg. The festival was well attended by the public. The pumpkin festival organizers judged our heritage vehicles and awarded sashes for 1

st and 2

nd in various categories; Norm and Di Betts

received second in their category as did John and Pam Senior. Con-gratulations to Norm and Di and also John and Pam. After another look around the venues after lunch our group packed up and travelled back to their respective homes. The pumpkin festival is certainly an impressive event, with a large num-ber of people attending, and in perfect weather.

MOTHERS DAY RUN TO COLLECTOR HOTEL Sunday 10th May by Ron Scattergood On the invitation of the Goulburn Club, 5 club cars motored to the Bush-ranger hotel to join the Goulburn Yass and Cooma clubs for a Mother’s day lunch. The weather was “bracing”, the brave souls in the topless Bentley made it down there, however, blankets were needed to assist with thawing out. Lawrie wisely decided a roof was necessary on the way home.

The meal was good and there were comments that it was not hard to pick that the previous week was the pumpkin festival. It looked like the Pub was doing it’s best to use up spare produce with about half a pumpkin on every plate (tasted good though) Our club cars attending were -

The Nock Family plus some (frozen) rellies from Parkes in Rolls Royce and Bentley, Ron and Anne Scattergood Triumph 2500TC Maureen Scattergood Triumph Stag Warren Cochrane (and Mum) Holden Monaro.

It was just as well Warren came, otherwise a Pommy takeover.

Thought at one stage Maureen may have needed a ride home. A very insistent lady wanted to buy the Stag on the spot (and that’s before she heard it running). Offers were resisted and the Stag still reposes at the Burra. A request outside the pub to spin the Stag’s wheels was also re-sisted. May have had something to do with a gravel road and a Rolls Royce sitting behind the Stag. All in all, a good day out

WHERE SOME CARS ARE PUT ON A PEDESTAL At the end of April, Jane and I had the opportunity to take a very short break in New Zealand and did so. The principal purpose was to visit friends who are currently posted to Auckland. Before departing Australia and even after arriving in New Zealand we tried to work out how we could manage our socializing and get to Wellington to visit the motor museum there within the 4 day time frame. We worked out that we couldn’t so the motor museum has to wait for another time.

We arrived on Thursday night. Our friends told us that the climate had been living up to the “Land of the Long White Cloud” tradition and it had been raining every day for the last couple of weeks. We woke up to a beautiful day on the Friday and spent the day touring with them around Auckland harbour etc. The KIWIS refer to Auckland as the “City of Sails” and it isn’t difficult to see why. The harbour is just about full of sailing boats. The harbour region itself is enor-mous. I dismissed the statistics I heard quoted for boat sales and ownership in New Zealand but on reflection they could easily be true. Where we tend to have a dog it seems the Kiwis get themselves a boat. Our friends over there don’t have a boat. They are not permanent residents so that is OK. He col-lects clocks and paints. One of the best places to find the clocks he likes is Antique shops so we saw quite a few of these during our visit.

Our friends use a Tom Tom navigation aid. It was made in China I think be-cause the announcer spoke what seemed to be very good Chinese. The most noticeable change which has occurred since I was there more than 35 years ago is the virtual disappearance of old cars from the roads. We now seem to have more recognizable historic/classic daily drivers than the Kiwis. The other thing we noticed was how much more laid back than Australians the Kiwis driv-ers seem to be. The aggression seen almost everywhere on our roads when someone fails to get off the mark quickly enough was missing from the driving experience in New Zealand although we didn’t really miss it.

The same applies to our aggressive overtaking practices and the tailgating which seems to be a regular feature of road use in Australia. I have a view that anyone who is good enough to drive as close as people in Australia regularly do, to the car in front of them, would be so good that they would realize how dangerous the practice is and wouldn’t do it. The fact that we do is an indica-tion of how bad the drivers here are rather than how good. The Kiwis have worked it out so why can’t we.

The other thing which we noticed and which made a lasting impression was the cleanliness. From public toilets to the roadsides and even the tables at takea-ways, there seems to an emphasis given to scrubbing up clean. The amount of rain is undoubtedly of some assistance. But I am not talking about dust. It is

Southern Tablelands Heritage Automotive Restorers Club Inc. Page 25

becoming difficult to find a table in many of our takeaway chains where eating in is not accompanied by the leftovers from someone else’s meal. The Kiwis seem to try to keep it nice just that bit better than we do. After several attempts I also worked out how to order fush ‘n chups and how to distinguish between sux and sex. An in-vitation to purchase half a dozen or a dozen donuts can raise expectations.

Saturday, we set off for Rotorua in drizzle. Each stop we made along the way the weather miraculously cleared so we could get out to look around without getting wet. Weekends are play time for the Kiwis too. As the weekend progressed we saw in-creasing numbers of our type of cars. There were Morris, Volkswagens, Holdens, Fords, Triumphs, MGs, Valiants and quite a few of the large American cars. We even saw a couple of Rolls Royce motor cars.

The first Rolls we saw was a Silver Shadow just north of Cambridge, between Auck-land and Rotorua. I noticed immediately that the Kiwis have developed a special regard for the marque and have clearly elevated it to pedestal role. As can be seen from the accompanying picture the elevation is not necessarily what the manufactur-ers or owners of Rolls Royce vehicles would encourage. The enterprising owner of the business had decided to go up market for his wrecking yard and had used a Rolls for his billboard. On our return journey I took a closer look at the car con-cerned. The wheel trims were not original and the Flying Lady was missing from the top of the radiator. The car was well and truly past restoration. I was not at all tempted to try to find anything on the car worthy of salvage.

On arrival at Rotorua we checked in to our motel, had a bite to eat, tested out the thermal pool at the motel and hoped for better weather on Sunday. Sunday arrived minus the clouds. Jane and I took a stroll down to the lake to see the sun rise then together with our friends set out to do the Rotorua tourist thing. The Government Gardens are beautiful. Thay boast a couple of old buildings and a few thermal springs. The museum was not open when we visited but we enjoyed looking at the building itself.

The most striking aspect of the Maori approach to tourists is their willingness to share their culture with others and the delightful way they go about expressing this willingness. Rotorua needs more than one day for proper touring but we didn’t have that luxury so it was off back to Auckland. Not too fast so we had enough time to stop off at Hamilton to visit their gardens. Our pictures do not do this spectacular development justice. Indian, Japanese, Chinese, Italian, American and English gar-den styles are presented for the enjoyment of all. Well worth the visit.

Monday we took the day to travel north to visit the Kauri museum at Matakohe near Whangerai. Cao had to go to her office but her husband, Lei, was happy to accom-pany us. We had the use of their Tom Tom and were pleased to discover Pokohon-

Page 26 The Wheel

tas available to give us instructions in very clear English. The toll road to the north costs $2.00 each way. There are no on road booths but there is a selling point at the start of the road. It only took about 20 minutes to get the ticket which enabled us to use the road which we are told saves as much as 7 minutes of driving. The option exists for making the payments by internet and this is clearly the way to go.

The museum was spectacular. Some of the furniture pieces there are magnifi-cent. The coverage of activities in the region since the arrival of Eurpoeans is excellent. They have everything from dolls and reproduction accommodation to steam engines, a reproduction of a saw mill and even a 1929 Caterpillar tractor. Finally we satisfied our basic needs at the museum and headed off for Clapham’s Clock Museum in Whangerai, half an hour or so away. About 1400 clocks. This was an interesting experience. Once again the harbour was full of sailing boats.

Closing time and we were back out on the road for the two hour trip back to Auckland. When you look at the distances involved it is difficult to agree with the Tom Tom’s initial assessment of how long it will take for the journey. The roads are very good, the traffic light and the driving conditions good. It is just not possible to maintain the types of point to point road speeds we are accus-tomed to in Australia.

Hugh Spencer has speculated on a number of occasions about doing a run with the cars to New Zealand. The roads are well suited to our types of cars. The New Zealand drivers are sufficiently considerate that driving our old cars in New Zealand probably would not be an unpleasant or stressful experience. The cost of getting the cars over there is a potential worry. The time needed to do a good gob of visiting the place is also a bit of a worry. I reckon we could go over there and never finish the visit. Jane and I would need to have a back-up vehicle to carry all the loot we know is in even the very small region we vis-ited, but was beyond our baggage allowance on this occasion.

Geraldine Vintage Car & Machinery Museum By Steve and Anthony Cole Whilst on holidays last year in New Zealand we undertook a road trip through the South Island, surely one of the great drives in the world. En-route from Christchurch to Queenstown we happened upon a sign advertis-ing the Geraldine Museum. It was right on our path and so we took the op-portunity to stop and have a look around.

Well it is amazing! Something for everyone, and if you are a tractor fan, then with two huge sheds full of vintage and veteran tractors, you are in for a treat! They are all in quite pristine condition. I have some video footage of this if you would like to see them, and am happy to provide a CD to anyone who might be interested.

Those interested in stationary machinery will also find lots to look at.

The Geraldine Vintage Car & Machinery Museum has on display over 30 Vintage cars and more than 100 tractors, and a 1928 Spartan Bi-plane. Also Stationary engines, ploughs, headers, chaff cutter, balers, motor bikes, and loads of vintage farm machinery, including the oldest working tractor in New Zealand, a Saunderson & Mills. Smaller exhibits feature household items, separators, chainsaws and many more interesting and diverse equipment.

Watch out for the little gems including the vintage Harley Hearse and the 1957 Berkley sports car (pictures). Situated at the south end of Geraldine on Talbot Street, the Museum is easy to find as there is a Windmill on the road side. The museum is open each day from October to June and then weekends only. Admission is $6 and chil-dren are free if accompanied by an adult

We also had a great ride in a Robinson R22 Helicopter over the Alps while in Wanaka. I can recommend a scenic flight as the Southern Alps are quite breathtaking!

There were an abnormal number of Wolseley's in town recently. About 50 of these old English Marque made Queanbeyan their base for the annual Wolseley Rally on the 11th to 15th May. The Boyds, Nocks and Winnetts turned up to view the cars and have a chat with some of the participants. The ages of the vehicles ranged from the 1930’s through to the 1970’s. One very unusual version that Allan had never seen was the “Austin 1800 body” ands simply badged “Wolseley 6” which had an East West six cylinder motor plus all the Wolseley trimmings. Coming home from the Collector Mother’s Day run, the Nock family’s Bentley was seen residing on the side of the road near the Sutton Road overpass. Whilst crossing the road, the car “failed to proceed” but had enough momentum to coast across the road and park neatly on the side of the road. Unfortunately the battery failed, however, the worst part was that daughter Ashleigh gave them a wave as she drove past, making it all the way home before Lawrie could contact her. Lawrie and Jane didn’t quite share the same level of hilarity that Ashleigh found in the situation, however she and Lawrie’s cousin Bob did come to the rescue with a power pack and the car once again “proceeded”. If you drive old cars a word of wisdom from the late Trevor Shores—Ïf you drive a modern somewhere, you expect to get home. Take an old car somewhere and it’s an achievement to get home. The Scattergood’s have also had a few battery issues lately with new batteries now being found in a variety of motor bikes and other farm vehicles. Winter is not kind to batteries at Burra. The proprietor at Alpine Batteries has mentioned that he was starting to think of Ron as an employee—he’d been there so often lately. Whilst on the subject of Collector, Ron can recommend the Gallery beside the Pub. They specialize in books which are neatly grouped in categories and easily browsed. Most of the members were soon seen packing books into their cars. They also have quite a range of reprints of old garage signs at what seemed like reasonable prices.

Hear tell the Vavra family outing to Perth to take part in the Austins over Australia rally had a downside. Joe slipped on some wet tiles in the shower block at their cabin and busted one knee. Doctors hope a repair job will do the trick, but a knee replacement is still on the cards. For Joe, this spoilt what turned out to be a really great rally. Let’s hope the knee gets better quickly. Whilst recovering, perhaps a report on the rally can be written for “The Wheel”?? (subtle hint, Joe) Great to have Graeme and Barry Boyce along with us at the race day outing. Graeme was driving his 1948 Chevrolet Fleetmaster. This immaculate car has been a institution on the club scene for probably 30 years. Barry brought along one of his newer restorations, a left hand drive Buick Coupe which he had had back on the road for a couple of years. The Boyces decided to spend a few hours with us rather than a meandering drive around Canberra with Heritage Day Motoring Groups. Ronda Cornwell has finally scored a date for her knee operation. The job should be done and dusted by the time you read this newsletter. Hopefully, this will bring an end to the saga which began many months ago with a stubbed toe at Young. Best wishes Ronda and also to John who has also been visiting a few Doctors lately. Our other Rhonda, has also been in hospital recently. Rhonda Winnett is now recovered and out and about again, although walking a little more sedately than previously. Bob Canon has also been out of sorts lately so it was good to see him and the Dodge ät the races”. Hear tell the Dodge took some convincing to come, but after some help from some friends, it made it in fine style. Best wishes are also extended to the Nock’s 15 month old grand daughter who is also in hospital at the moment. Congratulations and thanks to all the folks involved in organizing or helping on the night at the Presentation Dinner. Everyone seemed to be having a really good time, the venue was good and the trophys looked great. Full report and photos in next month’s “the Wheel”.
