SHOCKING

After much thought, the Badger has made a SHOCKING decision!
The Badger is MOVING ON.
After 40 years ownership, the ol' TC is for sale.
It isn't that I haven't enjoyed it. I have!
It isn't that I don't like it. I do.
I have simply owned it - long enough.
After all, it's only.......a car.
Not my only car and, if the truth be known and, as difficult as it may
be for the MG-IS-GOD group to comprehend, not even my favorite car.
So...
1949 MG-TC #TC10009. Two owners from new. Black w/green leather and
tan canvas. No glitzy parade queen this, but always a proud and honest,
hard working TC with..."patina" and many personal touches. No rust, not
even a single blister. Solid wood. As reliable as sunrise and with a
balanced, blue printed engine still able to twist the tach needle right
past the numbers and keep 80 lbs of O.P. Recent gearbox rebuild.
Recent steering box rebuild. 40 year history file.
Not on ebay...yet.
Any interested parties may make inquiry to me, Derek Durst, at the above
email address.
Thank you, Badger.

Derek: Do the original oriental rugs come with it? And of course the
pink engine?
You do plan on staying on the list and giving us a few "Badgerisms",
now and then, don't you? Believe me when I say you would be muchly
missed. Larry

DEAR BADGER; SOME ONE WILL BE LUCKY TO GET SUCH A WELL DOCUMENTED TC. MY
MEMORIES CORDS HAVE BEEN ACTIVATED ABOUT MERIDITH NH FIRST MEETING. REMEBER
THE HEADLIGHT CONTEST? DID YOU HAVE THE MG WITH THE POWERFUL
HEADLIGHTS THAT JUST ABOUT BEAMED ACROSS LAKE WINNIE. I WAS SO IMPRESSED
THAT I WAS DELIGHTED BY BUYING A TC WITH SIMILAR LOOKING HEADLIGHTS AND PER
YOU, I HAVE LUCAS 770 UNITS. NEVER FORGOT THAT NIGHT AND THE SIMPLE GOOD TIME
WE HAD. ALSO REMEMBER A GUY NAMED MCDONALD FROM WATERTOWN MASS WHO HAD A TA
OR TB WITH THE LEAKY AIR BAG LEATHER SEATS. WHAT A SORE BUTT I HAD AFTER TRIP
TO THE COVERED BRIDGE. TALLYHO! THOM COLLINS

The Smith's were proud of their family tradition. Their ancestors had come to America on the Mayflower. Their line had included Senators and Wall Street wizards. Now they decided to compile a family history, a legacy for the children. They hired a fine author.
Only one problem arose: how to handle that great-uncle who was executed in the electric chair. The author said he could handle that chapter of history tactfully.
The book appeared. It said that "Great-uncle George occupied a chair of applied electronics at an important government institution, was attached to his position by the strongest of ties and ... his death came as a real shock."

Please pardon me for the last writing. It had to be a senior moment and I pushed the wrong button.
