Now that February is over, most of us will be getting our
cars out in another four or five weeks or so. It may not
look like it now, but the end of winter will be here in no
time. Chris and I will be shortening up the wait by going to
Florida for a week to warm up and get ready for spring
and summer.
Instead of my usual writing here is the first paragraph
form the
latest University Motors news
letter. I think it says it best. Many thank you’s to the
writer and Well said.
I want to thank those of you who ventured out for the
February meeting. I was running the meeting so I had to
go, but the attendees chose to go, which made me feel
supported by you.
Dear Fellow Enthusiast!
This year, 2015, is the 90th Anniversary of the MG
Marque (if you accept 1925 as the first year of a recognizable MG). Your goal for 2015? Drive your MG. Drive it
to work; drive it for play; drive it for fun. And, to make
your experience even more fun, join a club. There are
national clubs and local clubs. There is a British car club
in nearly every community. Find your local club on
Google or through another owner!
I always look forward to one of my favorite winter activities, grilling steaks at our Steak Roast and Auction coming up March 16 th. It is always fun to be outside at the
grill, chatting, drinking a beer or two and getting the
steaks done. Hopefully everyone gets their steak the way
they like it. I never hear a complaint. The Auction that we
hold is super entertaining and a method to clear out unwanted parts, tools and memorabilia from your basement
and garage and to help that stuff find a new home. This
event is one of our best fundraisers for the club.
Just as a reminder, we are seeking speakers to educate
and entertain us at our monthly meetings. So if you have
a good topic or know someone who does please let me
know.
John
MAKE A NOTE NOW! DUES ARE DUE
FOR 2015!
Greetings, It is that time of the year again that MGCC club
membership fees are due. This is the club’s largest source of
income at present. It funds , meeting hall space, Spokes printing and postage, part funding of events like the Steak Roast ,
Christmas Party, and other activities. We are fully member
supported. With out your dues we would not exist! On the current roster there are 167 members. To date less than half of
the membership is paid. It is a good deal for $30 a year. Where
else can you have this much fun for so little. Heck it’s not even
a tank of gas for your LBC. Payment can be by check, real
cash,and even paypal. Paid at meeting, or US mail or through
the club web site. The club thanks you for you support.

Activities
By Mike & Sue Harrison
Many Thanks to Desi Benet for organizing the outing
at MacGregors to celebrate Robbie Burns birthday.
The day was fine for driving our winter cars and the
30 + members enjoyed not only the food and drink,
but also the music provided by Susie Keppler and
her bagpipe band.
Our traditional Wine & Cheese Party with Valve
Cover Races on Sunday, February 22. brought out
38 hardy souls, but not little British cars See winners
in a separate article.
Sign up by mail for the next event – our Steak Roast
and Auction being held MARCH 15, SUNDAY at Eyer
Park in East Rochester. Steaks will be grilled by Leon
Zak and John Baum, bring your dish to pass and table service. Since this auction is a major fund raiser
for the club, please bring your donations to be auctioned and cash for acquiring new treasures. As was
done last year, members pay $5.00 in advance to reserve a steak and will receive their $5.00 back at the
event. Deadline for reserving a steak is March 8,
checks payable to MGCC should be mailed to Mike
Harrison, 6640 Ann Lee Drive, North Rose, NY
14516.
NOTE THIS CHANGE from the date announced at
the 2/18 meeting for the SWING INTO SPRING event
at a FAIRPORT restaurant. Instead of April 19, this
event will be held on MAY 3.
We have a date for the Fall Tour to add to the club
calendar, October 10 the Priestleys will lead the
group again.
We have lots of events planned for this year but always welcome your participation and ideas for additional club activities.
Rooms at Seneca Lodge for the July Vintage Race
weekend in Watkins Glen have been assigned by
Karen Salisbury. As of 2/15 no one requested to stay
in the Log Cabin so there will NOT be a planned club
party as in the past. We hope 2016 will find the races
and the Vintage car festival all on the same weekend
again.

George & Gil “Partners in Grime”
By Gil Langswager
John had a run-in with the shop owner,
resulting in our not going back there for
future work. The engine was completed, however, & was OK. The chassis &
running gear were refurbished & made
ready for the returning components.
John already had an interior & top with
side curtains that would be fitted when
the body was all back together & on the
chassis. It was determined what other
components would be needed & they
were ordered. There had to be a lot of
planning & coordination so that the
whole job would come together
smoothly. So we settled into the job,
learning to plan & coordinate as we
went along.
When the car was pretty much together
things changed & we had to find anAfter the Stewart TD, John Lombino asked George other place to work. Charlie Searles offered a bay in

Tim’s Love of Cars Part 4
By Rhonda Rizzo
To leave no vehicle behind there was also a Mazda
RX7, a 1979 SAAB 99EMS with the bullet hole in the
windshield from its days in Colorado and a 1989
SAAB 900 Turbo, a Chevy HHR, a Honda CL175 and
2 Suzuki motorcycles a 550 and a 750. After moving
to 7 acres in Canandaigua all kinds of new vehicle
opportunities opened up to him. There were lawn tractors a zero turn mower, utility carts and snow blowers
to play with.
One of the more memorable driver’s school incidents was the year we were late getting the exercises
set up due to the fact that the lot we were to use had
not been cleared of cars and equipment yet. When
security came buy and wanted to close up for the
night and saw we were still working they said……no
problem just lock the gate to the track behind you
when you leave.
He was hired as an instructor by Jeff who was trying
to get his Silver Back driving school off the ground.
He attended car races at Watkins Glen, Lime Rock,
Pocono and Sears Point. He especially liked the
induro/24 hour events where he would sleep in the
SAAB which was parked at the boot, wake up during
the night to watch the race for a while and then go
back to sleep). Yearly he enjoyed the Vintage Festival and races at Watkins Glen, some years as a spectator others as a participant.
He belonged to the BMW Club and took Drivers
Schools at Watkins Glen International and eventually
became the provided of the mandatory infield exorcises that was compulsory for all novices attending
the school. He felt a great sense of satisfaction when
the students improved or told him they had as much
or more fun in the parking lot doing his exercises than
they did on the track. He also taught at Street Survival
Schools and taught teenagers car handling.

BMC Monday
By Dick Powers
Due to a major snow storm in the East on Monday
February 2nd, Bethel and I were
“forced” to spend an extra day on Coronado Island near San Diego. The weather was perfect with
lots of sun and temps in the high 60s, so we decided to leave the Del Coronado, where we were
staying, and walk to a favorite restaurant for
breakfast.
If our Healey encounter wasn’t enough, as we arrived at the restaurant, a red MGA, top down too,
was parked out in front. As I was looking at the
car, the owner came out and we were soon comparing our MGA experiences. He’s owned the car
for 20 years and said he would never sell it. I know
just how he feels, especially after racing my MGA
for 20 years and owning it for now 26 years.
To my surprise and great joy, we soon came upon
a lovely silver blue Austin Healey 3000 Mk II. It was
owned by a former Navy carrier pilot and used as
a daily driver, top down of course. The car was
beautiful with dark blue interior and chrome wire
wheels and the owner was just as nice telling me
the history
of his car

Valve Cover Racs
By Mike & Sue Harrison
Sunday, February 22 found 38 members and guests
gathered in Henrietta Town Park to enjoy getting out
on a cold, but sunny winters day. There were 12 racers on hand to compete while the rest were spectators
and helpers. Since Ted Hershey was under the
weather and unable to attend, George Heissenberger
handled the announcers role very capably. Rod Rodman was the starter, Nancy Cleveland and Marlene
Rzepkowski manned the scorers table and Al Fink
was official race photographer. Doug Scribner, Dick
Rzepkowski and Mike Harrison assembled the race
track with the help of Mike’s daughter, Barb.

Moss Motoring Request
I need a bit of help.
If you could do me the big favor of helping track down
a super fun cover photo, the person's that gets chosen will get a $200 Moss Gift Certificate.
I’m working on the summer issue of Moss Motoring
and I want to
find a cover photo that will make
people smile every time they look
at it. I know that’s a tall order.
Ideally the photo should be Portrait style (more tall
than wide) so as to fit the cover format best. And the
file should be more than 1MB in size. If you’re scanning a physical photo, scan it to at least 600 dpi.
The issue is shaping up to have a theme of “Friends
and Family come to the rescue” and help keep LBCs
on the road. This has more to do with mechanical
fixes than getting a tow from your brother’s Ford
F150...
The pics can be emailed to this address or
[email protected]
I don’t have too much time to rack a photo down. My
due date is March 10.
Thanks so much for helping me out!
I’m not going to say what I think
I’m looking for because, A) I don’t really know and B)
often the
photo that shows up is WAY different from what I
thought I’d imagine I’d be using.

NIVERSITY MOTORS MG SUMMER PARTY REUNION
Fri/Sat/Sun, August 7/8/9, 2015
The summer party is EARLY this year!
For further details see Universitymotorsltd.com
SEMA Update
New York Bill to Provide Single Plate Option for Motor Vehicles Reintroduced
Legislation (A.B. 3671) to authorize the owner of a motor vehicle, for a $50 annual fee, to display a single license plate on the rear of the vehicle was reintroduced. The bill will be considered by the Assembly Transportation Committee.
We Urge You to Contact Members of the Assembly Transportation Committee (Contact Info Below) Immediately to Request Support for A.B. 3671
·
A.B. 3671 allows owners to choose the option of a single plate for an annual $50 fee.
·
A.B. 3671 would help protect the aesthetic contours of certain vehicles and relieve vehicle owners of
the burden and expense of having to create mounting holes on some original bumpers.
·
A.B. 3671 would save money, conserve resources and bring New York in line with other comparable
states that are moving to a single plate requirement.
·
The funds collected under the bill would be used to help provide emergency services.
DON’T DELAY! Please contact members of the New York Assembly Transportation Committee immediately by phone or e-mail to request their support for A.B. 3671.
