EDITOR’S CORNER


Refurbishing your MG (or just doing routine maintenance) entails several different systems – Brakes come to mind. Personally, I feel that upgraded brakes are more important than beefing up and engine.

With this said, this month there is a brief article on Brakes that might be of interest to you. Luckily there are many references to brakes on our club website, for your perusal. Of course, the MG Maintenance Manual has more in-depth information, but this should ‘whet your appetite’ to investigate further this important system. Hope you enjoy this brief intro in Brake maintenance.

Things are looking up. In-place meeting are now taking place, driving events are starting to show up on the Calendar and the weather is great for driving your car. Check out the upcoming events in this issue. Car shows, day tours, and meeting events are yours to enjoy.

See you on the road.
