Technical Night at

Wednesday 22nd March

Story by Werner Engel

This event was well attended by around 30 people including a few blow-ins. It would be nice if everyone came through the club booking system so that organisers were better prepared.

Food for the night was pre-ordered and delivered nice and hot from The Naked Racer café around the corner. NineAuto provided beer in addition to our food which was much appreciated.

All attendees had the opportunity to mix with the owners and mechanics from NineAuto and seemed to enjoy their interaction.

A fully restored 356 was brought into the workshop for attendees to admire as well as some cars on lifts for viewing from below. Dean Sammut from Evolve Driver Training gave a brief insight into their operation as well during the night.

The mood of the evening was relaxed, possibly too relaxed as the formal question and answer at the end was deleted, only to find out later that this was the main reason many attended. Unfortunately, I was so busy organising food and welcoming new arrivals on my own that I should have asked for assistance, a lesson we all need to heed when running these shows.
