GoF West will participate as a part of the “T” Register in conjunction with the MG2011 meet sponsored by the North American Council of MG Registers. Gary Kennedy will be “Chairperson” representing GoF West in this event scheduled for June 12 through 16, 2011 in Reno, NV. Three hotels (Silver Legacy, Circus Circus, and El Dorado) have been chosen with rates starting at $69. Registration will be handled, as an all inclusive package, by a professional registration service which will open in early October. This will be an outstanding opportunity to appreciate all MGs, from the earliest to the latest.

Well I’m still trying to get old TRUBRYT back on the road. Seems that I surmount one problem only to run into another, none of major consequence, but none the less frustrating. Once it was running again (with John Seim’s help) I discovered that the rear carb gaskets were shot. The gasket set was obtained only to discover that years of disuse had allowed excessive deposits to build up in the carbs so off they went to a total rebuild (thanks to Butch Tarras). The carbs were reinstalled and I found that the cheap aftermarket fuel pump that I had wasn’t functioning. Well, I figured that it was time to go back to the original SU and after installing one of Jerry Felper’s rebuilds I discovered that the supply line from the tank had been shortened to accommodate the old Bendix that was on when I bought the car in 1979. Aaaarrrrggg! You gotta love these cars to keep them going.
