EDITOR’S CORNER

Does anyone have a good diet plan? After taking part in all the last month’s events involving food – Ray’s Morris & MG Picnic, Mid-Summer MG Party, family picnics – I believe I gained a few pounds. And summer is not over yet! Speaking of adding weight, this month’s Driveline is the heaviest yet – a full 28 pages! The travel log of our Barney Gaylord as he travels through Alaska is quite adventurous!

Driving events in the future look exciting and fun. Sign up and join your fellow British car enthusiast on an adventure of your own.

Now if I could just stay away from the buffets…

See you on the road…
