When I think about the many years that MGs have been in my orbit, I found there are so many moments of pure joy that its hard to pick just one story from the many. The bottom line is: I love MGs and always will. Already from the age of five I was drawn to…
Many years ago, while working the gate at our British Car Festival, a woman came wandering up the driveway. She had come from the farm across the road, and although her life then revolved around horses, she related in a distinct British accent how she had once driven British sports cars. More specifically, she had…
Three years after college I decided my life was established to the point I could afford a big boy toy again. It was the rugged sportiness of the Triumph TR6 I lusted for in the ’70s. I had to have one. After several months of disappointing test drives, I found a mechanically sound 1974 TR6…
May 2012 Some friends dragged me to British Car Week’s National Meet. Thank God for friends. The highlight of the trip was meeting a car named Grace and her driver, John Nikas. Grace, a 1953 Austin Healey 100-4, was traveling the United States in an effort to offer love, encouragement and hope for people affected…
I had no idea that the young girls of the post-World War II era dreamed of becoming race car drivers. Certainly a pony might appear in their hopeful plans for the future, and many of them took part very successfully in show jumping and cross-country events—Pat Moss included.

This is little more than a thinly veiled excuse to talk about an air show, or what would have been an airshow if it didn’t rain so hard all weekend. The beautiful Jaguar XK-120 pictured belongs, I presume, to the owners of the Military Aviation Museum in Virginia Beach, VA. At the time of my…

With these modifications, your Mini will be ready to take on any adventure with style. While the installation process is…
Club tours are a great opportunity for father/daughter time. I am not by nature a club-type person. I was active in sports car clubs when I was single, but now I find that work, family, and trying to keep a motley assortment of cars on the road keep me busy enough without adding club activities…
It should be no secret for those around our Virginia headquarters, we’re quite pleased with our new showroom. To “inaugurate” the place, we held an open house on March 16th. Of course, mother nature decided nothing says springtime like rain, hail, and snow. Consequently, there was a little of each over the course of the…
