Steve,
I got a big bottel of Stabil and used it on all the old cars.
The other thing recommended for rodent control is dryer sheets like
Bounce.  I got a box of store brand and put several in each car
interior, trunk, and will under the hood once I'm sure of not driving
them for a while.  This just went around the Healey list.  Some say it
works, others not.  At least they smell better than moth balls.

I have to store the Mini 1000 off-site this winter. [Although I may try starting
it - even driving it - periodically.]

What brand fuel stablizer do you all recommend? Sta-Bil?

Does anybody do the "moth balls" or "Irish Spring Soap" drill?

Here's a nice low mileage original Midget for sale.  Appears to be in
really good orig. condition.  Down side is it's in North Dakota.

This probably would not work on an MG, and I wouldn't try it anyway.

Building MGs in 1931.

http://www.britishpathe.com/record.php?id=70826

A couple of weeks ago I visited a local one man body shop located near
Yorkana, PA.  That is close to Sam Lewis State Park where we had the
club picnic some years ago.  It is in eastern York County, not too far
off of US 30.
The shop is called Bluestone Auto Body, owned by Dave Colvin.  He is
familiar with British cars and has the capability to do metal work
(welding, fabricating, shaping), body work, and also paint work with an
onsite paint booth.  He is not just a collision guy, but also does
restoration work on old cars.  I've seen an MGA in his shop, a Rolls
Royce, Volvo 122Ss, and all manner of other British cars.  His uncle is
Taylor Miller who has an extensive collection of British stuff.
If you have a job that you want to get quoted, make sure that he comes
and sees it, or you take it to him.  Like most anyone else, a
description of the work necessary will get contingencies added on.  He
quoted an MG TD of a friend and lost out because he scared him off with
a high price because he was quoting from a description and never saw the
car.  He must see it.
Contact info is 717-600-8533, located at 146 Bluestone Rd., York, PA 17406.
It would be worth a visit even before having him quote, just to see his
setup.
Charlie

Dennis,
In no way was I trying to pin anything on you and Jeff.  If anything,
you guys did your job too well, so when the inevitable happened, it was
sorely missed.  I doubt if anyone blames either of you.  Most anyone
with any sense understands that it is a lot of work, especially to the
high quality that you guys had.  What Steve is doing now is also a lot
of work and I certainly appreciate it and try to help when I can.  It is
a fact of life though that quite a few were shallow enough to give up on
the club after the demise of the Mailgram.  Of course they were the ones
who would not do anything to take up the slack.
Hope to see you and Carol at Triple-C.

Brian,

With the weather the way it was, the turnout was pretty good.
The guy with the BV8 is Rick Benson.  He was a member of Lanco some
years ago, but somehow got disenchanted.  He's always cordial when I
talk to him, so I'm figuring I'm not the one who pissed him off.  At
least he's out there with it showing it to people.  We did lose quite a
few members when the Mailgram newsletter went by the wayside, but I
think that he was gone before that.

I completely agree that we should get out and go to some of these local
shows, as long as they have classes for our cars.  I went to one with my
black Healey this summer and it was a waste of time because they didn't
have any foreign or sports car classes. It's also a bit difficult to
have conversations with people who voted for a pink and white and chrome
'41 Willys as best of show.   Another I went to with my Volvo 1800.  I
won the foreign class by default, being the only foreign car there.
One of the ones that we should push next year is York on Wheels, which
was a very nice show with almost everything there, from tractors to
classics, muscle cars, Corvettes, trucks, York-built cars, motorcycles,
etc.  A foreign car presence get classes especially for our cars.  This
year they were lumped in with the others.  A Healey did win the '60s
class.  I'll keep everyone informed as I find out more about next year's
event.

Was the 1800 at Manheim red?  There's a couple of red ones in Lancaster
County, one being John Holtzapple, current pres. of the Volvo Club of
America.  His car is pretty much bone stock.  Bob Stadel of Stadel
Motors also races an 1800.  And then in Marietta is Swedish Motors owned
by Rich Kushner who races a 122S.

As for the Yahoo Group, I think that it is a worthwhile resource, but
have yet to convince everyone else.  Perhaps Steve Dellinger could put a
short blurb in the BMCCN each issue with a link on how to join.
Something like "Lanco members, join the club's Yahoo Group,
http://autos.groups.yahoo.com/group/lancomgclub/join."   I don't know if
he has total editorial control of what gets sent to them, but I think
that he does.  What do you think, Steve?

Howdy!

I added my 2009 Poker Run Pix, ATOB 2009 Pix and pix from Ludwig's Corner show. 
Even though this last item is not a LANCOMG Club event I wanted to show pix of
some of the British cars at that show.

I have uploaded some pictures to the photo area of the group of the
Poker Run on Sunday.  See them here:
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/lancomgclub/photos/album/428879522/pic/list?mode=t\
n&order=ordinal&start=1&count=20&dir=asc
Or alternatively you can click on a link somewhere on this email to go
to the group and then to the photo area.
Any of you who also took pictures and want to add them may do so to the
existing album.

If you didn't go, you missed a scenic, no pressure drive that ended at
Bob McFarland's house where he treated us to a nice picnic type meal and
later a campfire.  It was great, probably because ending at a place like
that gave us time to socialize in a nice setting.
Thanks to all who had anything to do with it.
Charlie

Sorry for the late response.  I've been at Fall Hershey since Wednesday AM.
There is a link there, but is easily overlooked.  If you click on the
"members area" button, several other links come up and one of them is to
the Yahoo Group.
