Front Cover: (“Can we have the ham now please?” Christmas Dinner – Gerry Spencer)
EDITORIAL I still have the words of Bill Murray, the editor in Wes Anderson’s latest film masterpiece “The French Dispatch” ringing in my ears, “Just try to make it sound like you wrote it that way on purpose.” Not a lot happened this month, so there is some extra holiday reading included. At this stage I am not planning to produce a magazine in January. We might have an occasional series on first vehicles owned by members, so watch out as I’ll be asking others for their contributions either by writing or interview! I’ll kick start it with my favourite subject, yes you guessed it. Indulge me if you will. When I was growing up we had plenty of older vehicles in the family, but none of them were cool. My father seemed to get talked into buying someone else’s cast-offs, mainly because they were cheap. The exception was a brand new VW 1302S (the 1600 engine) bought in 1972, very economical, but hardly an ideal family car. Whilst I appreciated the use of it later during the last two years of high school to get to the school bus, and then for four years to get around at Varsity, I don’t have any lingering affection for the car. It was my uncle’s Rover P5B (V8) that probably first got me interested in classic cars a bit. The story I’m relating in following pages is not “vintage”, but it’s from 30 years ago, and historic for me at least. I also found that I had so few photos from that time – only four photos of both bikes. We have the opposite problem now days – too many photos, but make sure you take photos of the important times. Happy New Year!

CHAIR’S REPORT
Well we made it through 2021 without too much disruption to branch events, the only major casualty being the Blossom Festival rally. Unfortunately while I am not sure that 2022 will be entirely free of Covid disruptions, I certainly hope it doesn’t affect us too much. Looking back it has been a pretty successful year, starting with the new combined swap meet in January, then the Arrowtown Autumn Festival rally and the very successful National Veteran Rally. These larger events are well backed up by our club nights, Wednesday morning group and Sunday runs, giving a range of opportunities for members to participate. Your Committee is always keen to see more involvement from members either in running the club or participating/attending events. With that in mind we will be putting together a draft forward plan in the New Year and will looking for feedback from members on what they want from the club. Some of the things to consider are if the current events and our club facilities are meeting the needs of members and what else they would like to see happen. There has already been one casualty for 2022, the combined swap meet in January. This was to be on the day after the Cromwell car show but unfortunately this has been cancelled for 2022. Alpine Street Machines then decided that they were not keen to proceed as most of their buyers came from the car show. In the interests of continuity we did consider going alone, but believed we would no longer have enough vendors or buyers to make it work. I would like to thank all those who have helped keep the Branch ticking over during 2021, be it helping organise events, serving on the Committee or maintaining our facilities. While I never like to single one person out for praise, I do want to acknowledge the work that Vice Chair, John Martin does for the branch (ably supported by Wendy). He not only set up and runs the Wednesday morning group, but also acts as Parts Convener, and was instrumental in reinventing the swap meet. As if that wasn’t enough, John also volunteered to act as Rally Director for the National Veteran Rally. Thank you John. In closing I wish you all a Merry Christmas and hope the 2022 will be kind to you and yours. Noel Hassed

SECRETARY’S WORD
2021, another year gone by, the Club has had some frustrations as events have been postponed or cancelled. In addition to what Noel outlined, we enjoyed a run to Mandeville, I led a small group to the ‘Scenicland’ rally, in May a Sunday run to Naseby, another small group had the Queen’s Birthday run to Fox Glacier, the AGM was held in June, July was feet up by the fire with a good book. August Daffodil Day was postponed (another lockdown!) but then the Blossom Rally was cancelled, so we held a Monte Targo (for Cancer) on short notice in September, and then the run to Waipiata and Clachanburn in October, and in November a successful run to Heriot and Tapanui. The Club concluded its year with the Christmas Dinner & prize-giving in December. Again I wish to mention the good work done by our ‘Wednesday Group’, the Veteran Rally committee, our Management Committee, our yard crew, and not last the members who have attended events organised by other branches. I would like to see more of us doing this, it’s good fun, good motoring, good people, (taking the ‘Whole of World View’) easy on the environment, (minimising waste) good socially, and very easy to do! So if there is something else we could be doing put up the suggestion to the Committee, come join in and give it a go! The VIC system of identification as to preservation groups goes to seven parts and is specific; 1. Original with little use, not many vehicles comply with that. 2. Original as in unrestored with age-related deterioration, wearing parts may be replaced. Period replaced paintwork, plating and upholstery permitted. (This definition covers John’s 1939 Chevrolet). There is no specific note on the latest VIC forms that refer to the above paintwork, (only in the branch manual dating 2009) hence the inference that I have taken is that a fully repainted vehicle would come under a restored classification. 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 etc.
In a conversation with John Loudon, the definition of ‘restored’ in his 50 year citation had caused a lot of angst. I have stated that the definition was in support of his citation not specifically about his car. While things do have to be correct where appropriate, differences of opinion as to definition will always be there, we do our best and it’s time to move on. Concentrating on the positive, Daniel and I did the MONTE CARLO, (the ultimate one day event!) and I’m looking forward to the next one in 2023. Graham Taylor

Monte Carlo 2021 a personal experience! Daniel and I had competed in the 2018 Monte Carlo rally organised and run by the Banks Peninsula Branch VCC. Therefore when the note appeared early in the year that another Monte Carlo was to be run, we were both pretty keen but what vehicle? We had the option of a Mini, 1300, Morris Minor, and two Toyota Landcruisers, my HJ 60, and son Daniel’s BJ44 (rare mid wheel base 3.4L Diesel) which he has been working on for ten years or so. I had driven it for the first time in May and thought it was a very good effort, handled well, the engine was willing, and with only a few minor details to sort out that was entered. Daniel and his son Jaiahn joined the Central Otago Branch as well. The journey; travelled to Nelson on the 12th November, had the Friday to catch up with friends and collect Jaiahn, head out to Takaka, and arrived at Puponga 11:30 pm. At the start another six cars arrived, it was wet and cool 00:01 hrs we all departed and a line of taillights headed off into the rain, over Takaka Hill in the rain and fog, and our first waypoint Motueka, we parted company with the two cars visible at the time, an MG and Peugeot. Heading for St Arnaud via Tapawera, again in quite heavy rain at times, down the Wairau Valley, then to Havelock our compulsory passage. Back to Blenheim, fuelled up, on to Kaikoura, arriving at 6:45 am in time for a fresh pie and coffee. A short break at the seafront to walk around and recover from fatigue which had been setting in coffee and pie did the trick. On to Waiau via the much improved inland route, and back out to Cheviot and our next waypoint Gore Bay. On to Motunau Beach, then south on SH1 to Christchurch via Waipara. We arrived at the Hilltop Tavern at 2pm. We took the time to catch up with some of the others here before heading off for our finish at Duvauchelle at 3:30 pm. At Duvauchelle our scoresheets had to be checked by marshals, a regularity trial, field tests, and close inspection of our cars … according to the rules! A grand dinner at night attended by a Redcoat(?) speaking passable French, came to the conclusion it must have been Giles checking out our loyalties, after all we were in Petit France. We travelled 852km on the rally, took 13hrs at 66km/hr, 13 waypoints, 2500km for the round trip, 230l fuel, no oil.
11
Why? This would be the most rewarding and challenging event that I have been involved in! Route planning started and was steadily refined over the last three months; there are 53 waypoints and a choice of 4 compulsory waypoints. Cars travelled far and wide and probably no two cars took the same route, points favoured older cars so a level playing field. With our clubs rapidly-ageing membership it is events such as this that will and do attract younger people, the cars respond to having a good long run too, very few problems there. Great event, great organisation and people. A team from Central Otago next time? Graham Taylor

My First Vehicle Gerry Spencer Most people have fond (or maybe not so fond), memories of the first car/tractor/truck that they drove, and the first car that they owned. In my case it wasn’t a car, but a motorbike, and not one, but two! This is how that happened. During my last year at university, a classmate “Vinny” informed me one day that the guy in the flat next to him was selling his two motorbikes as he owed his grandmother that he was living with quite a lot of rent. The price was $1100, and after hearing the briefest about the bikes (one wasn’t going), it seemed like a dream come true. We went straight away to Trust Bank (remember that?) to withdraw the cash, borrowed another friend Baz’s car that had a tow ball, hired a trailer, hand wrote a bill of sale, and removed the bikes before he could change his mind. Incidentally the car was an automatic – the first time I had driven one, and I can report that I stood on the brake a couple of times with my left foot thinking it was the clutch! We returned the following day to collect the keys and the ownership forms. The first was a 1982 Yamaha IT 175K, one of the first with monoshock and single swing arm, yet still with brake drums. Everything about it was a thing of sparse functional beauty; the YEIS (Yamaha Energy Induction System), the lightweight plastics, the rubber quick fasteners, the axle bolting, the tiny speedometer. I was enthralled. The other was a 1984 Honda GL400, with the longitudinal ohv V-twin set at 80° and the heads twisted 22° to allow better access for the rider’s knees (and keep them nice and toasty), water-cooled, electric start and shaft drive. The Yamaha wasn’t going, so the apprentice at the local garage returned it to operation (changed the spark plug and de-gunked it, basically). However it didn’t have an working 2nd gear. Most of the time that didn’t worry me, as the
15
sort of riding I was doing was going flat-out. The engine had been “ported”, and oh! the power band, it just kept on giving, until one day it didn’t. Doing 100+ km/h with WOT (wide open throttle) along a straight next to the farm, the bike behaved like it was running out of fuel which wasn’t uncommon the way it drank go juice, so I reached down to turn to reserve, and at that moment it seized and I was deposited on the gravel road, wearing what was in the photo. The double-layered shearer’s jeans saved me, and the only thing I suffered was a slight sprained ankle, but I had to hobble home 2km in disgrace! The Honda was the complete opposite sort of bike, but just what I wanted as well (at the time). I rode it a bit then let Baz use it for the rest of the year. The cam chain gave out when he was riding it - all the valves were bent (interference fit). Another trailer was hired to retrieve it. This time we didn’t have any rope, and since this is public forum, I won’t tell you precisely how we trailered the bike back…After final exams, in the week before departing for Canada, I borrowed a Haynes manual from the library and removed and lifted out the engine by myself (the block is 60kg!) to get the valves done. That was the first time I had attempted such a project (only with a new ring spanner set). After working overseas for a few years, I retrieved them both from storage, and got someone to replace the seized engine parts on the IT and sort out the missing 2nd gear, but it was never the same. I rode both bikes for a few months, then part exchanged them for a new Kawasaki KLX650 that I took through back and forth through the heart of Australia, but that’s another story. Often I wished I had kept the IT175, but the reality is that it’s so hard to get parts now days to keep them going.

Garage Safety – some considerations This is not an exhaustive catalogue, but some thoughts for those who work on their own vehicles. Even if you have worked in the trade all your life, there might be some things that you haven’t thought about? PPE This covers the usual things such as clothing, protective footwear, and appropriate gloves, speaking of which, it really is recommended to use thin nitrile gloves to reduce exposure to grease and oil. You get used to wearing them. I suppose you already know why mechanics shouldn’t wear watches or rings? Losing a finger by catching a ring is painful, as is accidental shorting of the electrical system, or heat conduction. Plus you don’t want to get your Rolex or wedding ring scratched! We should be a lot better in NZ about wearing good eye and ear protection (no need to be more deaf than need be from industrial noise), and masks where necessary. Do you have a fire extinguisher in your garage (or car)? Which type is it? If you only have one extinguisher then ABE dry powder is recommended. Have a first aid kit handy, and know what to do. There are times when we have to work alone – ask someone to check on you every ½ hour, or at least carry a phone in your pocket – you may be able to dial if you get trapped. STOP and think. There is often resistance to doing an HSE risk assessment (Job Safety Analysis), but especially when alone it is worthwhile to think if there is a better/safer way to do this? That can apply to routine activities, but especially to unfamiliar tasks. Jacking Never work on a vehicle that is supported by a jack alone – put axle/jack stands under, but note the floor must be perfectly flat/level for optimal support. Where possible, leave the wheels on (this differs for restoration of course, as opposed to regular servicing), as in the event of sliding off the stands, there is still some clearance underneath. Pits I won’t talk about hoist safety, but a few words about pits. Generally pits are not recommended now days for petrol vehicle workshops for safety reasons; the need to have covers or barriers to prevent falls; danger from petrol spills that
17
form a flammable mixture in the pit; or trapping of dangerous gases such as CO, LPG, or welding fumes. Having said that, if I had a pit I would probably use it (with precautions)! Electrical safety Neoprene-coated cables are oil-resistant. I read last week that electrical receptacles should be 0.9m above the floor to avoid the risk of ignition if there was any heavy flammable vapour present. Interesting. Take a look above you. Are there unguarded fluorescent tubes that could be broken and fall down? I found this recently in the parts shed when moving a ladder quite close to the tubes, and also in my own garage. There are several cases each year of house fires due to charging Li-ion batteries such as used in cordless tools – avoid leaving unattended or charging overnight or overheating from being covered. Charging of lead-acid batteries may produce H2 gas (hydrogen); I say “may” because with modern chargers and “maintenance-free” batteries there shouldn’t be gas coming off. With older batteries (the ones you have to top up with distilled water), however, hydrogen gas will evolve. Where does this highly flammable gas go? Since it is much lighter than air it will escape quite easily if the space is not air-tight, but it is better to charge only in a well-ventilated area. Car safety Manage the key so that the car can’t be inadvertently started – don’t leave it in the ignition, instead put it under the seat or in a box or jar. Don’t reach in to the engine bay when the engine is running except if absolutely necessary and then with caution (due to moving fan and belts). Double-check the car is out of gear. Disconnect the battery when working on all except the most benign tasks. If working around the dash or steering wheel on a modern car (or just about anywhere in the cabin on a late model car), ensure there is sufficient time to allow the airbags to de-energise – check the procedure. Welding This is a whole other subject, but just a couple of pointers. Always disconnect the battery before welding on a vehicle. If you are welding, or around someone who is welding, don’t wear contact lenses. Hazardous materials Always dispose of oil and coolant correctly, which means paying for the privilege of doing so. Coolant is toxic to the aquatic ecosystems (and pets), so do the right thing. The anomaly in NZ is that there is nowhere to dispose of (spin-on) oil filters correctly, so it goes in landfill unfortunately.
18
Carbon Monoxide. This can be fatal, but even at lesser amounts will affect your blood for weeks. The dangers of running a vehicle in a garage are well known. Even with a catalytic converter, there will still be some CO, especially when starting as the cat is not at operating temperature. This is also a good reason for most people parking nose first into the garage. Also try to leave the garage door open for a few minutes to let exhaust dissipate. Consider also better sealing of the internal access door from garage to house. If you must run a vehicle indoors and don’t have fully open doors on both ends of the garage, then have an exhaust extractor. If even you take precautions, how do you know how much CO there is in your garage? Why not get a CO alarm to warn you – that would be ideal, wouldn’t it? Asbestos is well known hazard. NZ was rather late to ban all asbestos importation (in 2016, about 80 years after it was known to be a health hazard), although car manufacturers had stopped using it by 2004 or earlier. Older, certainly vintage, cars will have asbestos in the brakes linings/pads and clutch (if not already replaced), and suitable precautions for removal and disposal are advised. Aircon gas – it is illegal to release most of these gases to the atmosphere, or to re-gas a system that is known to be leaking.
