2015 -Black Horse Brewery January

First run of the year, normally not very well attended due to recovery of the Festive season, right ?

Wrong! Not MX5er's ! This run burst straight into the New Year ,with 38 Members ,19 cars descending on the sleepy little town of Magaliesberg. 6 new members and 2 returning members Janette and Steve welcome back, really very good to see the enthusiasm in this club.

Such a lovely sight to see of a long string of MX5's riding in convoy.

Destination "Black Horse Brewery" our pit stop, where we sampled and pinted some this very popular Craft Brewers beers! The most refreshing beer is always straight from the Tap at the brewery For the TT's they also brew an excellent Ginger Beer and a lemon concoction, very refreshing.

Then we set off to a restaurant located close to Magaliesberg central for lunch.

Must admit the short 6 km run was clouded in confusion, with people going in all sorts of directions, and some having their own racing challenge Jos and Gary have no idea where you guys were going, and others totally lost,yours truly being one of them.

However ,we all arrived at the same destination and settled into lunch.

The restaurant, pretty new in the business had difficulty in coping with a larger crowd and there huge delays in getting food to the tables. This probably ruined a bit of the run enthusiasm, but nevertheless we managed, and I think everything turned out OK. Thanks Herman, Eben and Carin for assisting the venue and making the day complete. You guys rock and really help in making this club one of the best car clubs to belong to.

.Notice the telly in the background showing Proteas (in Pink) versus the Windies, where Proteas scored a record score,yet we were none the wiser,must have been the draughts!

When in doubt "Wave"

Pic taken in rear view mirror. Like the inventor of the rear view mirror, he never looked back! The earliest mention of it was Roy Harmouns "Marmon Racecar" at Indy 500 in 1911. However many female drivers in the 1900`s were known to have used their compactum mirrors to look behind them to see if they were being followed by jealous suitors, perhaps they should be credited with its discovery.
