Upcoming Events

Spring Tune-up
Don’s Auto Ade
(Goodyear) 2s781 Rt. 59, Warrenville
630-668-3711

Sat April 18. noon

It’s about time to put away the parkas, or rain coats, and break out the MGs. For the fifth year in a row Don’s Auto Ade will host the CMGC’s spring tune-up. Starting at 12 noon we will have access to up to seven lifts so we should have ample opportunity get the cars up in the air and find out what’s wrong underneath. ‘Course it may just be possible to find something right. Maybe.

As usual its first come, first served. Club member’s MGs have priority, then other LBCs as time permits. Bring your own 20w50 oil and filter. Tire mounting, balancing and wheel alignments will be available for a fee. If you need new tires or a battery, call Don’s ahead of time. Dave “Cowboy’ Bralich will serve as pit boss, please check in with him before starting any projects. All work must be completed by 4PM. Then off to one of the locals for a wee dram.

Car Care Safety Clinic for Seniors
May 9, 2020

A sure sign of Spring is the Naperville and Lisle Townships TRIAD Free Car Clinic for Seniors, Saturday May 9, 2020 from 8:00 A.M. to 12:00 noon at the Lisle Township, 4711 Indiana Ave., Lisle, IL 60532.

The safety clinic which provides a free 40-point safety inspection of vehicles driven by senior citizens (ages 50 and older). The event grows each year as the Triad organization’s outreach to seniors continues to expand.

Vintage and antique cars will again be on display; most are vehicles owned by our volunteer “car guys” who help perform the inspections. Chicagoland MG Club (CMGC) member Jim Vondran coordinates the Triad car safety clinics and really appreciates the enthusiastic participation of volunteers from the CMGC, the Chicago area Model T Club, and the Chicagoland Miata Club each year.

Please contact Jim directly at (630) 234-7102 to affirm your participation, either as an inspection team crew-member and/or displaying your vintage car, or just stopping by for a portion of the time so that our seniors can see your car while their vehicles are being inspected.
