Hey Darryl,
Congratulations. When you publish your book would you consider making it
available to the rest of us?

My TC 4956 was disassembled for restoration in June of 1961, and stayed that
way untill I bought it earlier this year. Think of all the fun you have had
while "Ellie" was waiting. Bob TC4956

Giday Darryl:
Having attended a get together of your great club during the Nat meet in
1995, I have never seen such MG enthusiasm in my life. My wife Verna and
myself will never forget the warm welcome that we were received with. A
couple of years later, we were honored at Harry Pyles home by the TC club
again. what a warm and memorable experience. We want to congratulate you on
40 years of MG nostalgia. Our own MG club here in the States is also
celebrating its 40th aniversary this year. I am the last "founding" member
still around. Our hats are off too you all!!
Cheers, and Safety Fast:
Skip and Verna Kelsey.................................. lll

Congratulations - what a milestone to achieve without having been the subject of a rebuild or restoration project! Whilst not a proxy for the TCOC, your Club's acknowledged contribution to some of the content in Mike's "TC's Forever" means that the rest of us TC owners owe you lot a huge debt of gratitude, so long may your celebrations last - well past 1.00 am!

Congrats on your longevity! The TC Motoring Guild has had monthly meetings
since the dark ages and I marvel that people drive that far for a few cookies
and the odd door prize. The Abingdon RoughRiders meet once a year and we get
it all done then - The rest of the time we motor around the great roads of
Northern California. Just met at Phil "Nigel Shiftright" Frank's refurbed
barn for a great cookout yesterday.
It would be depressing in the extreme not to be a TC owner.

Congratulations on a fine history of TC ownership and restorations and last but not least Mike Sherrells book.Enjoy yourselves for at least another 40 years and then let the youngsters take over.Our countries will be meeting in Perth for the Tri-Nations, I'm sure we will be rooting for opposing teams but our admiration for TCs knows no bounds
