Welcome to our new members # 363 Rudolf, Norbert ------- Norbert.Rudolf@t-online.de--Dassendorf, , Germany 1948, TC 5673, XPAG 6356 ==and #364 Marcom,Carol & Rod----------miturn@bellsouth.net---Jacksonville, FL, USA 1948 TC 6471 XPAG 7109 who writes: We were referred by Carl Fritz who has been most helpful. We'll be driving to St. Augustine Saturday 21 April 2001 for the GOF -- not in our TC, but in our 1930 Pierce-Arrow (the MG is not running yet). I attach a picture of Carol's TC. She found it on Ebay and bought it as she reminded me it was her turn to pick the next car. I had my eyes on purchasing a completed 1927 Chevrolet Coupe (instead of restoring the rust bucket basket case of mine), however, she reiterated that the next one was HERS! Of course, I had to make good on my prior promise and she took the bit in her teeth and had it delivered about 3 weeks ago. She has been constantly on line and on the phone getting parts and pieces and information ever since. I've created a monster! She is so upset right now over losing a bid for an original TC speedometer and tachometer as our computer decided to lose its internet connection right at bid time. Any information on the whereabouts of these instruments to make her happy will certainly make my day:)! Sorry, I get verbose on occasion. We look forward to enjoying the MG with our new-found friends! See you at the GOF! Carol & Rod Marcom ==and Ken Porter [i]kporter@unix.asb.com [/i]and Tom Poole [i]tpoole@columbus.rr.com [/i]have nice words to say about Craig Seabrooks (seabrook@en.com) restorations Just take a look at the "Personal Hint" paragraph about 2/3 of the way down the Table of T-Parts Suppliers - http://mg-tabc.org/t-list-gall-02.htm page on the T-ABC website. ===I plan on living forever. So far, so good Jim Shade West Covina CA

Indeed, I do have an original (mostly) and running (mostly) 1949 MGTC/EXU. --- What a great informative website, love it! Thanks for the opportunity to join. I also have a fully restored 53 TD, a nice, but could use a paint job, 60 MGA 1600, a 1998 Jaguar XK8 and a 1925 Model T. ===and so - we now have six members living in Arizona - and at least a couple of them have several classic cars - and I thought they were still ridng horses out there Jim Shade West Covina CA [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]
