Allison in Automotive land

[Brad M]

Our Club Night Speaker for 14th July at the new location of the Rising Sun Hotel is John Allison.

Some may know John although most will not.  However after hearing John speak you'll leave with a wonderful insight into the life of a person who has pursued whatever he's wanted in things automotive – including owning three Alfa Romeos.

The following will give a little insight into some of what he'll share on the night:

• Owning a BRM F1 car which he made handle and go faster than the factory ever did by a method which amazed the engineers.
• A behind the scenes look at the Mille Miglia.
• Designing and building a devastatingly fast sports car with full ADR Compliance which only drivers with the biggest 'kahunas' would ever fling around a circuit at full tilt.
• Competing in a beautiful pre-war Delage in Classic Adelaide.
• Riding around the south of France with friends on Vespa's with saucepans on their heads.
• Demon driving in Lotus and Alfa Romeo's.
• Plus more

John is a marvellous raconteur and after dinner speaker with the ability to inject wit into any situation.  Don't miss him.

After watching Tony Gaze on Talking Heads last night I can hardly wait to hear what incredible stories John will have for us. Grouse!!
