EDITOR’S CORNER

Here it is…a new year!

Winter hasn’t technically started yet with only a few sub -zero days in early December. I guess the heavy stuff will come later. Looking back on last year, we had a number of events that reappeared after the previous Covid-restricted period and I trust we will see many more events scheduled for the coming driving season.

If you are looking for something to do later this month, check out the event at the Klairmont Kollections Automotive Museum (See the article on page 11). This is being sponsored by the Chicagoland Corvair Enthusiasts club.

I for one am looking forward to taking the Amtrak trip to Dearborn Michigan in early February. This has always been a fun trip -

Now is the time to think of the projects that need to be accomplished with our little British cars and maybe compile a list of parts that could be acquired at the upcoming Swap Meet in March.

So you see, there are things starting to happen.
See you on the road.
