Challenge, adventure, bucket list…what difference does it make. We decided over two years ago that we were going to take an unforgettable trip to find out how the real America looks—up close and personal. “We” includes my wife and I. We entered our 60s a few years ago, then we had our 40th anniversary and…
My niece was getting married in July in northern Minnesota. There was no doubt that my wife and I were attending; the only question was mode of transportation. Should we fly or drive? The rest of our family was flying because of limited time off—but since I was between jobs, driving was an option for…
It was about 10:30pm on a chilly January night when I received the phone call from my brother. His voice was sullen as he asked me a question I knew was borne in pain and being offered with trepidation. “Can you help me get Maggie going again? It’s time to sell her.” He had finally…
I had a Moss catalog with me in the Middle East and shipped parts to my parents’ house. Returning home, just days after my Desert Storm tour ended with the Army, I tore my car down to its chassis, and the long task of rebuilding and replacing began. I would say the MGA did not experience…
Phil and I like to sit back and marvel about what an extraordinary summer we had. In some respects it was unbelievable. We drove approximately 11,500 miles. It has been a blast, honestly we are both ready to do it again taking more time and more money! The Moss Motoring Challenge? Well, all we can…
WE HAVE A WINNER! The victor of the 2013 Moss Motoring Challenge is a winner in oh so many ways! Bryan Hutchinson, the driver of a 1973 MGB named “Maggie” took on the Challenge with his family and then took it a step further. At dinner one evening I asked my girls to help answer…
At Moss we know British sports cars inside and out. We know our customers well, too, from having spoken to many for years and even decades. The Motoring Challenge, though, gave us here in the office a chance to see our customers using their much loved cars the way they were intended. It’s been such…
An excerpt from our Motoring Challenge Journal 10/13/2013: With the Federal Government shutdown, our San Miguel Island trip got cancelled. So what do we do with a free weekend on our hands? Hmmm. Road trip! The weekend weather looked good, so we planned our Owens Valley trip. The first stop was Quartz Hill in Lancaster….
I was surprised when my wife suggested that we enter the Moss Motoring Challenge. Lisa figured it would get us out of the house to experience our state. Tourists come from all over to visit Colorado, yet there was so much we hadn’t seen. That was shortly before Memorial Day – a late start –…
My wife and I entitled our year of fun as “California Cruzin’”. Last year we visited four different states. We wanted to show off our little British car to my 90-year old mother, who lives in Utah. (Yes, she did go for a ride in it and loved it!) This year, we decided we wanted…
