Here are some photos from the 2018 Carlisle event. Rainy, wet and muddy would describe it. The weather kept a lot of cars away, but a good time was had by all who attended anyway.

I’ll be driving the Subaru, but due to positive thinking, I’ve already plastered my field pass to the MG windshield.

I will probably be towing also, due to lack of drive time as well as the weather. There is a possibility the MG won’t come at all if I can’t resolve issues with the replacement coilovers.

Looking good though. Keep it up.

Welcome! She looks good. I wish you luck on the search for the shiny grille shell. I needed to replace mine back in ‘08(accident) and finally settled on a damaged shell from an original TD and modified my fenders to fit. I recall a year or two ago, there was a fellow carrying one around at Carlisle trying to sell it. Just be patient, one will t…[Read more]

Very good.
