Gentlemen,

All this talk about "the last drop of oil" has been very educational and interesting - form all the sub groups you like, work out just how much is left in this remarkable planet of ours all you like but rest assured I know where the last drop will end up!

On my garage floor!!

He was out driving one night and was chased by the alerted agents and almost caught; just in time making back to the security of his garage. He would have to wait another month for the accumulation of more 'gasoline'. The story ends with drip, drip, drip from the spout of the 'still'. While on the subject of R&T articles there is another I would like to find and I may have it deeply stored somewhere. The late 80's or early 90's R&T had a series on the '10 Best of". The 10 best was voted on by several automotive journalists from inside and outside R&T. The one I seek was something like 'The 10 Best aesthetic automobiles of all time'. The MG TC and the MG B/GT were both in the 10! I liked that cause I have both a TC and a '67 B/GT for the past 1/2 century. Bill TC5221 B/GT 99514

Author was possibly Peter Egan...? I'd like to locate that story. The main character in the story owned a classic/vintage car and plotted and planned to keep driving his classic. He somehow set up a still in his garage to make 'gasoline' and when he had a supply he would take his car out in the dark of night and zoom around town. This unknown terrorist-motorist was on the government agents wanted list. The punishment was severe. If I remember right... He was out driving one night and was chased by the alerted agents and almost caught; just in time making back to the security of his garage. He would have to wait another month for the accumulation of more 'gasoline'. The story ends with drip, drip, drip from the spout of the 'still'. While on the subject of R&T articles there is another I would like to find and I may have it deeply stored somewhere. The late 80's or early 90's R&T had a series on the '10 Best of". The 10 best was voted on by several automotive journalists from inside and outside R&T. The one I seek was something like 'The 10 Best aesthetic automobiles of all time'. The MG TC and the MG B/GT were both in the 10! I liked that cause I have both a TC and a '67 B/GT for the past 1/2 century.

While I agree wholeheartedly that the early  B-GT and the TC are beauties eclipsed only by the 60's era E-type., a quick search of the '10 most beautiful' brings back stunning results.....a 1970 Dodge Challenger?......Really?  A stingray?   A merc 300 gull wing? Desirable maybe, collectable definately, but beautiful? Not even at closing time on a long weekend with two fisted beer goggles.

Any US-spec metal-dash GT..... except for the addition of reverse lamps to the back panel somewhere around GHD3L90000, all of the GTs between 72000 and 132000 are going to be pretty much the same spec, regardless of titled year.  Mine's GHD3L84584 (pre-reverse lamps), which I think might have left the factory in '66.  Although it was titled as a '68 in the US.  If we call them all '67s, we're close enough....

Does a '66 B-GT qualify?

We should start a sub-club, those of us with a TC and '67 GT.  How many others have that specific  combination?

Me too and I concur. The early 60's B-GT and the TC are second only to the early E type for pure beauty and style. Sorry, my opinion, but the best of Italy is third....and the germans don't even get to play

I recall a story in Road and Track Magazine from the 1970's where oil became scarce and the use of gasoline powered automobiles was banned forever. Author was possibly Peter Egan...? I'd like to locate that story. The main character in the story owned a classic/vintage car and plotted and planned to keep driving his classic. He somehow set up a still in his garage to make 'gasoline' and when he had a supply he would take his car out in the dark of night and zoom around town. This unknown terrorist-motorist was on the government agents wanted list. The punishment was severe. If I remember right... He was out driving one night and was chased by the alerted agents and almost caught; just in time making back to the security of his garage. He would have to wait another month for the accumulation of more 'gasoline'. The story ends with drip, drip, drip from the spout of the 'still'. While on the subject of R&T articles there is another I would like to find and I may have it deeply stored somewhere. The late 80's or early 90's R&T had a series on the '10 Best of". The 10 best was voted on by several automotive journalists from inside and outside R&T. The one I seek was something like 'The 10 Best aesthetic automobiles of all time'. The MG TC and the MG B/GT were both in the 10! I liked that cause I have both a TC and a '67 B/GT for the past 1/2 century. Bill TC5221 B/GT 99514

This is for Bill. Too many years ago I wrote a short story called THE LAST KING. It was published in the old SPORTS CAR GRAPHIC magazine. Gas engines had been outlawed and govt. Inspectors went around capturing any engined miscreants. And shredding them. Finally there was just one. A Ferrari. One night the inspectors chased the car up a mountain. Rather than be captured the driver sailed the car off the top of the mountain to its- and his- supposed end. The story was being told by a person who had accumulated all the parts off the mountain and was almost finished with the restoration. I wondered if that might have been the story you thought you read in R&T?  Phil May, Williamsburg, VA Sent from my Verizon, Samsung Galaxy smartphone -------- Original message --------From: mg-tabc@yahoogroups.com Date: 2/8/18 1:47 PM (GMT-05:00) To: mg-tabc@yahoogroups.com Subject: [mg-tabc] Digest Number 8357 [img]https://ec.yimg.com/ec?url=http%3A%2F%2Fl.yimg.com%2Fru%2Fstatic%2Fimages%2Fyg%2Fimg%2Femail%2Fnew_logo%2Flogo-groups-transparent-180x40.png&t=1522512005&sig=yV4XqmWgaYiNiXm8sAsKhQ--~D[/img] MG-TABC Group 3 Messages Digest #8357 1a Fwd: [mg-tabc] Last drop of dino oil by "arm@telus.net" tc3528 1b Re: Last drop of dino oil by "Norman Verona" frenchblatter 2a Re: Books for sale by "Jan Johnson" jgarnaes Messages 1a Fwd: [mg-tabc] Last drop of dino oil Wed Feb 7, 2018 2:31 am (PST) .
