Well, here it is... 2022! Things are looking a lot like winter outside. The first major snowstorm greeted the new year and thankfully my MG fleet is safe under wraps (at least for now). My winter projects are now on a ‘to-do’ list. Parts ordered have already been received. Now it is just up to me to get started. Having a heated garage helps but getting started is usually the stickler. There seems to always be a house project that needs to be attended to before my fun car stuff. Am I the only one to experience this? Let me know.
This month the theme is ‘looking ahead’ - planning for the coming driving season, installing a new CMGC staff, introducing a new ‘Natter n’ Noggin’ location into the monthly cycle and hopefully gearing up for the annual Swap Meet.
That’s all for now, and as always... See you on the road.
