The weather was nowhere near as diabolical as the weather man had predicted. Gathering in shopping centres idea was not a good one it seemed most of Adelaide was crammed into every available parking spot. Locating sprite club members in the melee was a needle in the hay stack situation. The group from Firle did manage to form a trio but the rest of us found our way to Marque Restorations individually. Very few people get to have afternoon teas in the presence of such automotive exotica. After the 30 odd attendees had had their fill of mostly lemon and sugar filled pancakes  Gerard started the gloriously smooth sounding Ferrari, gave the C type Jag a bit of a burst, then a TR4 was started providing a hint of why it is off to a specialist engine tuner in the near future. A tour of the factory revealed a plethora of interesting cars to inspect. Informal groups were gathered around various cars where a good deal of useful information was passed on. Well done to the people who braved the weather and bought along their Sprites and other sports cars. A big thank you to Gerard and his staff for the use of the premises and the automotive entertainment. Thanks to everyone who helped with the catering. Thanks to Gordon for the bag of lemons.
