16 The Octagon - November 2017
T-TYPE RUN -2017 By Lynn Jones; photos by Terry Jones and Elaine Hamilton Rumblings of reforming a T-Type Register began earlier this year when Don Webster and Terry Jones discovered they both shared the same interest in providing excursions for the older club members, T-Types that is! (Don & Terry’s T-Type ownership and friendship began in the late 1960s when the MG Car Club rooms were in Wickham Street, The Valley). To test the waters the call was made to all interested T-Type owners to lift those dust covers off and venture out together with the promise of a comfortable speed, minimal highway travel and the reward of a morning tea/lunch stop at an historic bakery. So, on Thursday 21st September a happy and enthusiastic group assembled at the club house eager and ready to travel those “country lanes” in order to reach our destination at the historic Fernvale Bakery. There we would be joined by Helen Goodfellow and her grandson Noah and Brian Phillips - all from Toowoomba - and Barry & Lorraine Bauman from Somerset Dam. By 9.30 a.m. seven cars were fired up ready to enjoy the morning drive. We left the Centenary Highway and headed to Kholo Crossing via Mt. Crosby. A short unavoidable stretch of the Warrego Highway led us to the solitude of Pine Mountain Road which joins the Brisbane Valley Highway just 6 km short of our final destination. The Bakery car park provided ample room for the cars to pose for their customary photo shoot; the line up was most impressive! The bakery courtyard proved just the right Preparation for the photo shoot, Roll call, Ross’s MG gets admired, right turn to Mt Crosby, and (page 19) enjoying the delights of the bakery.
