EDITOR’S CORNER


Can you believe this weather? We have been fortunate so far with warm days and clear skies for the past two driving events. Turnout has been good – I guess we all are looking for some means to get out on the road and share our driving experiences with our club friends. Getting the MG car out of storage or garage for the first time in a long while and giving it a good ‘shampoo & set ‘and driving with the top down feels great!

During close inspection after a long sheltering, I noticed that my MG paint job needs attention. I’ve been following Dean Hickenlooper’s MGA refurbishment and have gotten the paint bug. Ergo, the painting article in this month’s newsletter. I trust it is somewhat helpful.

See you on the road.
