We continue to have good meetings and drives. Barbara Inskeep and David Moore led us on a fun tour to breakfast and to a local art museum. John Seim led a good tech session and the general meeting was fun, interesting and well attended. Thank you to all who worked to make these successful.

I have run into delays with the engine rebuild for my 1935 MG PA. It seems many of the good machine shops are going out of business, probably as the principles retire. I found a crack across the intake and exhaust valve seats in cylinder #3. It is tiny and I almost missed it.

I need someone to cut away the valve seats and install new seats to eliminate the crack. I also need to find someone to put new wrist pin bushes in my rods. Manufacturer Carillo in Irvine does that job but they have a 2- month backlog. May be my best bet however.

But the MGA is running well. I hope to drive it to the GOF. Stuart Meador showed me an inexpensive GPS speedometer in his TD so I got one of those. You can get units with a compass plus acceleration times, a clock, longitude, latitude, and altitude.

Happy trails!
