From The Drivers Seat

With this edition of the OT we begin a new year, so Happy New Year everyone.

I would like to thank everyone for having me as your Chairman for another year.  When I started in this position a year ago I didn’t really know what to expect, but you have all made this a very enjoyable job.  In my first article for the OT I requested everyone to “Ask not what your MG can do for you, but what can you do for your MG”.  You’ve all had a year, so what have you done for your car? 

I have done a lot, Daveen and I have taken many great drives, I’ve replaced the dash and had the instruments restored and now I’m getting a new set of tires to replace the 20 year old ones so we will be all set for the drive to Monterey for the GOF.

In the last issue of the OT I forgot to thank Pat Gaston for her work as unofficial advisor to the Chairman.  Those of you who were at the March meeting will remember that she was a great help in reminding me how the elections were announced.  Pat also is there to fill in for any absent committee person at the board meetings.  I would also like to thank Jack Arntzen who is our unofficial meeting membership counter.  You may notice him at the meeting trying to figure out how many members are in attendance.  He usually does this during the break when everyone is walking around so at the next meeting if you see Jack staring at you he’s just trying to get an accurate count.

George Kershaw has put together an impressive array of events for this year.  We have some brand new events, such as the Hot Dog Hop and some old favorites including the Hollywood Hills tour and the London to Brighton run. The first event to kick off the New Year is Lloyd Hendrickson’s Riverside International Automotive Museum Tour on April 19th.  It should be a great tour and I’ve heard that they have a very nice Riley on display (wonder who it could have belonged to before the museum got it).

A few reminders:  Dues are still due.  Envelopes were in the March issue of the OT or you can go to the VMG website (http://www.vintagemg.com/) and pay online. Dues are still the remarkably low price of $48 per year.  GOF registration is still open and please remember to make your hotel reservations too. 

Keep ‘Em on the Road
