EDITOR’S CORNER

What a year this has been. In March, we had a full Driving Season Schedule ready to go. Our cars were getting out of hibernation and the Spring Tune-up was in the works. COVID was ramping up and most of us were concerned that a few driving events might be delayed or cancelled. Little did we know that this virus was going to affect the entire year! Many of us took it in stride and used the ‘Shelter in Place’ as an opportunity to address a few maintenance issues that didn’t get done over the winter. The most difficult item was the feeling of isolation – no meetings to attend and share experiences, no driving tours with fellow members, and no sharing driving adventures over a cool libation. ZOOM meetings were unheard of, but now are as common as a phone call. Social events with friends and eating out at a restaurant were taboo. Now we are firmly into the holiday season – Thanksgiving turkey dinner is reduced to leftovers in the fridge, holiday music on the radio, and email shopping advertisements bombard our computer screens. I personally feel we are heading for a better year in 2021. We are getting positive information regarding the COVID vaccinations and I am optimistic that we will have a driving season to again share the road and its adventures with fellow members. Maybe it is time to order some more MG repair parts. Happy Holidays and don’t forget to vote! See you on the road. > Important Election and Membership Dues announcement?, page 5 > Tech Stuff – Refurbishment Project, page 6 > Feature article – The Death & Rebirth of an E-Type, page 8
