EDITOR’S CORNER

By this time of the year, I’ve had made a number of tours, a couple rallies and some occasional group get-togethers with the MG. This year all I have accomplished is to dust off the driver MG (yeah it was outside this winter) and play around in the garage with the new brg ’70 MG getting it road-ready. I ordered parts from Moss late last year just after being notified my order would be delayed since the warehouse was temporarily closing due to this pandemic. I cancelled my order hoping to find another source for the needed repair parts. Didn’t happen.

I turned my attention to doing some much needed repairs and upgrade to the house. I finished the basement activity area, planned to add additional lighting to the living room and tv room and paint the entire house interior. This Shelter-in-Place sure has influenced what was getting accomplished in my world.

Now that things have eased a bit, it’s time to give the red MGB a good cleaning and spend some top-down driving the backroads near me. Maybe go get an ice cream…

See you on the road…
