EDITOR’S CORNER
All I can say is …WOW! 32 pages of club events to report upon, This is the largest issue of Driveline to-date, Looking back through the archives we were reporting on maybe 12 pages of events per month maximum.

Technology is changing and that seems to be the theme this month with two reports from different part of the world regarding MGs – China and United Kingdom. We see the change to eCars in newsprint and on the road.

So, what about us backyard mechanics that like the smell of petroleum products and the challenge of keeping the old technology alive? It used to be batteries were used to start our petroleum-based vehicles, now the battery is the power source. I’m sure there will still be a need for our type of skill for some time. Let’s “keep them on the road!”

See you on the road…
