Hi Fellow MG Enthusiasts:

All of the plans and programmes have been finalized for MG2010 and the Registration Forms are now available on line at www.mg2010.com.

Please advise Club Members at your next meeting, they can now register for this exciting event. The following are a few highlights of the programme:

FABAC St. Patrick's Day Shindig

     FABACians will be happy to learn that Jim and Lorraine have yet again invited us to join them at their home for our next meeting, which just happens to land directly on St. Pat's Day. Those of you who have attended one of these parties in previous years know what a great time is had by all. We make it a pot luck event, knowing everyone has a favourite Irish dish, and we throw in a little challenge to see who can wear the most green!
     So, we'll see you around 6:00p.m. on Wednesday, March 17th at 159 Mactaquac Heights, Keswick Ridge. If the weather continues anything like it has been, you might see a few little British cars out for the occasion. Either that, or we'll get one dickens of a storm.
Thanks so much to Jim and Lorraine for their generous hospitality.

A trip down memory lane

...and a little surprise for you part way through the slide show.
Thanks to Earl S. for passing this along.

Remember Rob's E-Type from a couple of days ago?

Here it is after a little love and care! Congratulations, Robbie!

Adventures with Mr. Hogg

     "Why is there a shovel under the bonnet?" Mrs. Hogg was clearly puzzled as to why her husband's latest automotive acquisition was held together by garden implements. Joe and I looked at each other while Mr. Hogg attempted to allay his wife's fears.

     The day before I'd picked up the phone to hear,"Rrrrrobert, could ya give us a hand tomorrow? M. Hogg's thick Scottish brogue was unmistakable and generally meant that I was going to spend a weekend helping haul yet another broken hulk out from behind some barn. The last time it had been an MGB so rusty we had to lash the two ends of the car together with wooden beams. He'd really only wanted the overdrive but the owner, sensing an opportunity to get some free yard clearing done, had insisted that the entire car go with it.
