My friend Leon came over today with his MGB V8. I drove his V8 and he drove our 1800 MGB. it was an eye opener for me and pretty much what I expected an MGB V8 to be. Other than an odd shift pattern from the T55 transmission it was very cool and very fast. we were doing 60 mph at about 1700 rpm in fifth. Very powerful and I could have driven it most all day in second or third.

The Greater Rochester Triumph Touring club put on the first annual UK Car day last weekend. The weather was iffy but many of our Western NY MGCC members turned out to support them. It was a nice event , well run and over 100 cars and British bikes turned out. My favorite British motorcycle is Norton and there were four of them there, as well as a Dunstall Norton, so I enjoyed that! We had a nice class of MGB's with some really pretty cars. I had thought I might place in the awards, but the winners were all nicer than mine! My friend Hollis has kept his Bermuda hard top on his B all summer and now with the weather decidedly turning to fall he is back in season.

I don't get to the Canandaigua cruise night as often as I do others, even though its close to where we live. I guess I am usually busy on Thursday nights. I did go last Thursday and met a nice guy named Tim with a TR3 from Bloomfield who I have seen around town. He and I have exchanged waves but this was the first time we met. His car was originally from Hawaii and he had it shipped to New York via container. Because I got there kind of late I missed Rod and Doug from our club, who had left earlier.

MG car club Western New York Center members visited Watkins Glen International in July and took three laps of the course then had lunch in the Glen clubhouse. It was a thrilling time, and I really enjoyed being on the track that so many legends of my youth had raced on- Emmo Fittapaldi, James Hunt, Jackie Stewart, Jim Clark, Mario Andretti, Mark Donahue to name a few. Lots of fun and OUR MG ran perfect. Beautiful top down summer weather for the drive over country roads to Watkins Glen, and wonderful views of Geneva Lake all the way home. I posted a you tube video of our third lap my brother in law Dan took. You can see it at: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K_SDSOqgG7E

Several MG Car Club Western New York Centre members gathered at Books Etc. in Macedon NY June 28 to mark the showing of "Speed: the art of Steve Oosterling". Steve is going to do the art for the Sports car and vintage auto festival next year. We had about 15 cars on the street until rains arrived and sent us on our way!

My wife and I took OURMG to the Bristol Fun day today and our son and his girlfriend took his Dart. They have a small car show and the local Fire Department has a chicken BBQ, there's local music, model airplanes, alpacas and a library book sale. Just a fun day in the little town of Bristol NY. Weather was perfect and we had a great drive in the country. I had a guy come up and ask if it was an MG TD- no not quite...
