The Run made a couple of stops to answer a few quiz questions. Guessing the types of car models in the sacks was a challenge.

At the second stop, Amy Mehaffey was the ‘good witch’ with a series of six questions to stump event the most knowledgeable MG owner (no, I’m not disappointed that I couldn’t answer a few of the questions!).


The Run ended at the Emmett’s Brewing Company in Palatine with a great menu of food and crafted beer. (The Chicago Bears game was on so burgers were ½ price!)

Thanks to the Rally organizers - Reinout & Henneke Vogt. Mike & Mary Kay Cobb took over for Reinout while he was away in Italy on business. There were two checkpoints manned by Mary Kay Cobb & Amy Mehaffey.

Thanks to all for a successful rally.

Wow! It is that time of year again – time for most of us to prepare our cars for winter hibernation.

Dave Bralich will again be hosting a Fall Tune-down in his garage to assist in this effort. Dave has a low lift drive-over hoist so we can do underbody inspection, maybe a few oil changes, and some tune-up work or minor repairs. Bring your own parts, oil and a jug for oil disposal (and yes, you take away your own away).

Cauldrons of Dave’s famous Chili and drinks will be provided.
