EDITOR’S CORNER
Can you believe it is September? This usually means the summer is over. Well, that can’t be right… I got lots of things to do this Summer – go to the beach, have cookouts, drive the MG with the top down. Maybe even spend some shady tree mechanic work on the car.

On the bright side, there are still more driving events left for the club members – we have car shows, driving tours and rallies left on the calendar. If the weather holds out a little longer this year, maybe a few more top-down days to drive the back-roads of Illinois.

With all that is still ahead, I guess September isn’t the end of summer after all.

See you on the road…
