There is a nice article in the new Road & Track about Nigel Shiftrights 1948 TC titled "Four Angry Cylinders". Great humorous
story. Read it in hopes of lightening the group up

I should have pointed out that it was an official currency change in
1971 where we officially changed from 144 pence to the pound to one
hundred pence to the pound, it was expected that everything else would
also change without too much of a hitch (we have now screwed up that
neat formula by adopting the Euro!). Its interesting to note the the US
and Canadian (North American ) money system is also metric - was it
ever otherwise?

BlankHi "T" Lovers,
TC 7025 awoke from a long winters nap and what a great feeling to get out on the road with the rush of air over my bald head
again as I put her through a warm up.
I have a question and need some help. I have the dash open as I am replacing the original water temp gauge I had restored by
Nosinger's, and would like to know what light bulbs to put in the holders to light the instruments. Most are burned out and the old
ones have less light than a cake candle. Are there any ones that will fit that have a higher wattage ? I don't know what size the
bulbs are either. Thanks for any help out there

Information on the gathering at Gatlingburg: Cades Cove is a very heavily visited area. We we there in Detroit Iron last summer with our antique car club. At the start of the Cove drive is a sign that says this route may take as long as 2 hours. Believe it!! Also there is little to see when you get to the halfway point, a gift shop, an old small grist mill, that may or may not be working, and some old dilapidated buildings. Your best view will be the rear of the car you are following. There are two gravel short cuts if you tire of the ride.

Item Two: I am looking for a source for the rigid foam tool trays for the TA. I saw and saved an add from Australia that had a very reasonable price, but I have lost it. Does anyone know of this source, or another reasonably priced one.

BlankHi group,
Can someone tell me what is the "normal mark" is on the transmission dipstick? The three lines are not marked as they are on the
oil sump dipstick. There are three lines but no wording?
I assume that the 1.5 pints to fill the tranny are imperial pints as listed in the Brown Book, which would convert to 28.8 oz
American, rather than the imperial fill of 24 oz.

Dear Mick:
Many moons ago I went up to New Hampshire to a small
gathering of MG T owners. One of the members and his wife came all the way from
California. He won the long distance
trophy. Frankly I thought it was incredible to come such a distance. But
this guy wanted to meet our small group.
I had recently purchased that English Wicker basket which was the standard
thing to do and carry in your T.
I had packed a bottle of good wine, Sandwiches in an iced container , Fresh
fruit, A thermos of Coffee and the usual condiments. I was on a relatively
long trip from Duxbury,Mass to the Laconia , New Hampshire area. Their were no
Mac Donalds in "dem thar days', so you brought your own food.
I met the two guys ,Frank and Dick,who were getting this group
started. They had just met about an hour beforehand for the very first time.
Now the story behind the story.
The two new friends were: Frank Churchill( RIP) & Richard
Knudson.
The guy who came all the way from California was:
Al Moss and wife.
The New Hampshire meeting was the very first Gathering of
the Faithful aka The New England MG T Register. Met some wonderful other young
people. One of the participants had a terrific TC with the brightest lights.
That night he won the distance for the longest beam going across Lake
Winnipesaukee This skinny kid was Derrick Durst of Badger Fame.
You are now the new owner of the English Wicker
Basket from the First GOF
Tally Ho!

Thom,

I don't know if you meant to send this to the list but enjoy reading
reminiscences such as these. My only association with TCs in those days
was to lust after one.
