EDITOR’S CORNER



What’s the score?... Phase Four!! Well, it is about time. Even though I’m not ready to shun my facemask nor dispense with my disinfecting gel, I do feel we are nearing the end of our cloistering. It has been over four months since we started and, realistically, I didn’t think we were ever going to get together as a group for some time. I do believe we should continue the Zoom meetings and maybe have some Zoom technical sessions. I just got invited to a John Twist two-hour technical Zoom Meeting to discuss MGB clutches! I think this may be a trend – it is like an interactive YouTube session.

Of course now I have a different problem. Since I was not driving, I was not maintaining! Air pressure, dashpots, lubrication, oil & water levels, overall cleaning – you get the picture. I guess I’ve gotten a little lax with my Little British Car. Time to head to the garage and tend to business.

See you on the road…
