A couple of weeks ago, I was all set to round up a few more Challenge points. End the race to the finish on an up note. A city starting with an “E”, a laboratory, firetrucks, and a Christmas parade were on the agenda for that afternoon and into the evening. Maggie, my 73 TR6,…
We really enjoyed the motoring challenge this year, after getting started last year and then never really continuing due to life and all that happens with that. Our goal was to go for our usual fun drives, plan a route, and hopefully get a few points each time. This meant sticking to back roads as…
Just some quick items from my driving adventures for the Moss Motoring Challenge: Driving south toward Tooele, top down, i heard a horn beep behind me, and as I looked left saw a Porsche Carerra, also top down, with the driver’s thumb in the air. As he zipped by, I noticed his license plate: AVAST!…
I’ve always been a “Gearhead Gal,” and always will be. I mean, c’mon, how can you not when you have a dad like mine? I grew up in the shop, covered in grease, and surrounded by beautiful cars. We’ve owned all types of them, but we’ve always had a thing for MGs (we’re on number…
In Oklahoma I found myself on a turnpike between nowhere and somewhere. The crescent moon I had been chasing for the last few hours was giving way to one of those perfect pastel sunrises. The kind you only catch on a clear and crisp morning. While I was lost (both physically and mentally) no worries…
It all seemed pretty straight-forward. Sure, it’s 4,500 miles (7,200 km) over remote parts of Canada and Alaska, but my girlfriend Jan and I love being in our 53-year-old TR4, driving it all over the back-roads and gravel lanes of Ontario. It took us all of about 10 seconds to decide to enter—we had, after…
“…It happens all the time. It’s not unusual to send the hired car back missing a mirror.” –Fred Lynch, Director of Operations, Moss Europe It’s my first trip abroad ever. I’m driving all over England getting to know the Moss Europe shops—there are four in the UK and a new location in France outside…
Organized by Moss Motors, the Challenge was a contest, a scavenger hunt for places and things. A Challenge Guide had a hunting list of cities, counties, States, Provinces, Moss facilities, specific destinations, National Forests, National Parks, Car Shows and Bonus Points. Points, one or more were earned for each photo showing car (fitted with Moss…
Some of my friends participated in the Motoring Challenge in their MGs in 2013. It seemed like it could be a lot of fun. My wife and I thought it might be something we could do. We like touring in our car. Much more fun that sitting around at a car show. But my British…
From Moss Motoring 1983 by Steve Hensley Davis, California “Why are you selling it?” I asked. “Well, I’m just tired of that wind in the face feeling,” he said, being more intent on his new Camaro and his new girlfriend than on the MG Midget sitting in the garage. I eyed the car with a…
