XK, Mk’s 7, 8, 9 Register Run

Well, we had a great day at the beautiful property of Graham & Fiona Schultz. As promised by Fiona the flowers were in full bloom and the garden setting was worthy of a wedding. Another plus was that the bad weather (that was coming) did not interfere with the day (although Graham had secured the local hall just in case). We had a few visitors, namely Graham’s neighbour who brought his Renault Alpine, a very interesting car with a known history. Also, Melissa Ozlanski, daughter of Ron Ozlanski (XK120 FHC), attended and brought old photographs and memorabilia of Ron’s. These items brought back many memories of Ron’s cars and some long-forgotten club events. After a brief meeting followed by lunch, we enjoyed a range of goodies cooked by Fiona, including some home cooked scones with real Devonshire clotted cream. Graham really managed to impress us with a coffee machine worthy of a Gloria Jeans Coffee shop, and the coffee was even better. The only mishap of the day was Peter Goodale managing to throw a tread (sole off his shoe) however some quick repairs got him through the ordeal with a glue that we carried for drooping roof lining repairs!!!!!!!! All in all a good day with good cars and great people.
