In part through links with the Jowett club, I was invited to attend the inaugral event of the just established local branch of the VAR. A beautiful but hot day in the rolling countryside. I could not help but notice the extent of trees compared with first arrival in Auckland 50 years ago when all space provided grass for sheep.
Two activities intrigued. A very slight young teenage girl repeatedly hammered her Dad's low alloy special around the slalom course. As if the car was an expendable go cart.
And a refined slight older lady with a white hat somewhat as 1920s style discreetly piloted a yelllow 1926 Chummy in the bright sun. Whereas most of the blokes are not of Seven proportions, looked justl ike one of Tony Griffith's posters come to life.
