By Gerry Strachan I am a transplanted “Brit” who arrived in this country as a member of “Her Majesty’s Diplomatic Corp” in 1978, and expected to return to U.K. in 1981 after a three-year “tour of duty” at the British Embassy. Two years later, I decided I wanted to stay in the USA for a…
By Harry Buberniak Back in the 60’s, my dad had two project cars that were on his waiting list to be freshened up. One was a 1955 thunderbird with the steering wheel on the left and the other was a 1953 MGTD with the steering wheel on the right. Both cars were in running condition but…
By David Stuursma “I got everything but Hawaii and Nunavut.” I read this twice. It wasn’t that I didn’t understand what I read the first time through. Nope. Two different people wrote the same sentence to me. I couldn’t be happier announcing a two-way tie for 1st place. What a Challenge 2016 turned out to…
By David Stuursma- and with the 6-pack crew, too I’m a lurker. One of my daily tasks is to log onto the 6-Pack.org Forum and keep a lookout for conversations about Moss Motors, our parts and our service. There are other Moss employees on other forums, too. Online forums are a fantastic resource for many…
By Greg Prehodka In November 2011 I moved from NJ to Nazareth, Pa, and joined two MG clubs and one British car club near my new home. At all of them, the folks in charge asked me something like “If you have any ideas for things we can do, let us know.” Well, that got…
By Greg Prehodka I caught the disease in 1967 when I purchased a ’66 Sunbeam Alpine. Since then whenever anyone offered me their extra or unwanted car parts, I couldn’t refuse them. You never know when you or a friend might need that extra starter, carburetor, transmission or—you name it, I had it. I’m also…
For earning the most points with a pre-1960s vehicle in the 2015 Motoring Challenge, Scott and Nancy Gilbert won the Vintage Victor Award. This is their story: My wife Nancy and I are privileged to be the current custodians of MGTD #16872, otherwise known as Sassy Cathy. She came to me from my cousin who…
My father got polio when I was two years old. He demonstrated that being disabled would not hold him back from doing anything, like working under the car, creating hand controls, or climbing a few steps on a ladder with a leg brace and crutch. His example would become my way of life. On Labor…
I shoved a stick in the hole where the screw should’ve been in the thermostat housing. That took care of the leak for a good six months. It was 1975, and I was 17 years old. By the way, I still own the TD! -Harry Horton God bless British cars, right, Harry? You’ve given new…
When I arrived home on a Saturday late in July 1968, driving my MGTD, the first words out of my father’s mouth were, “So, you quit college?” Indeed I had. I told my parents that I would serve in the Army (there was no alternative) and continue college upon my discharge. I served 22 months…
