12月4日(日)、帰国早々ですが、早起きして千葉県・八千代市へと「・122」AMAZONを走らせました。TACC(東京有明カークラブ)の例会が、クラブ員Sさんのレストラン「セイロンカフェ」で行われたのです。快晴の高速道路を快調に突っ走って、初めてのお店を探していると、ちゃんと目印にSさんの有名な(映画3丁目の夕陽に”出演”した)モーリス・マイナーとコロナ・ピックアップが路肩駐車場に止まっていて一目瞭然!! そして続々と集まって来るTACCの「変わり者(良い意味での、、、)」の「変わったクルマ」達。AMAZONも新たに今回から仲間に加わったSさんの1台を含めて3台が勢ぞろい。ポルシェ356スパイダーもいれば、旧いコルベット、ジャガーEタイプも集まってき来ました。VWビートル、コンサル・コルチナなどの懐かしい大衆車もいます。そして、なぜか”中国製”3輪バイク(後退ギア付き!!)でさっそうと現れた、メンバーもいました。このバラバラ感、、、というか、こだわり感がTACCの魅力なのです。いつも例会の行われる夢の島駐車場とは雰囲気を変えた今回のミーティングは、私の大好物カレーランチ付きです。セイロン出身のSさんと、やはりTACCメンバーでホンダN360や”ラビット”スクーターに乗るYさんが、20名以上も集まった仲間のために、素晴らしく美味しく”辛い”カレービュッフェを用意してくれました。いつものように、ワイワイガヤガヤと時のたつのも忘れてカレーを食べながらの車談義、、、。ここのところ、ちょっとタイトなスケジュールで飛び回っていましたが、とても楽しいひと時を過ごし、一気にリフレッシュすることが出来ました。さあ、今年の「・122」AMAZONの出番も、あと1回。12月18日(日)に箱根を周回するTACCツーリングへの参加です。好天に恵まれることを願って、来週は、きちんと整備をしようと思います。
On Sunday Dec 4th, I was off to Yachiyo in Chiba Pref with my .122. I sped down the expressway under wonderfully clear skies, and found the restaurant owned by a TACC club member. In front of the store was a Morris Minor and a Corona Pickup so it was pretty easy to find the shop. The TACC members that gathered for this event came in all sorts of classic cars. A new Amazon showed up for the first time, a Porsche 356 Spyder, an old Corvette, a Jaguar Etype, VW Beetle, etc. There was even a 3 wheel bike made in China ! There is no real policy for the TACC, but this is why it is so fun. The TACC normally gathers at Yumeno-shima, but on this day, about 20 people made their way to Chiba to enjoy real Ceylon curry. Mr. S. the owner of the restaurant is from Ceylon originally, and he had prepared a large curry buffet for us. My schedule was a bit busy these days, but I was able to relax and wind down. There is only one more event remaining this year for my .122 which is the TACC Hakone touring on the 18th. I am keeping my fingers crossed that we will have good weather.
