EDITOR’S CORNER

Talk about glorious driving days! We have had some beauties. I believe last month we had 19 days of dry low 80’s days and only a couple of hot sticky days sprinkled with a few rain showers. It couldn’t have been a better night for the Westmont Crusin’ Nights & Street Fair. With all the upcoming outings in September, I hope our luck holds out.

We now have a new club project car! A MGB-GT will soon be available to the club members to refurbish. I know I would like to try my hand at welding and structural repair. It is not often you get the chance to use the proper equipment and be overseen by competent members. This project is just the ticket to sharpen your skills or learn some new ones. Check out the article in this month’s newsletter.

Don’t forget to drive your British car to the monthly meeting—Show N’ Tell
