Hi Guys:

I think that Bill told me that you (Eric) are in Wexford which is pretty near me in Sewickley. Maybe we can encourage Bill to come over your way and we could meet up by you? I’m doing a car cruise with the Rolls Royce club on Sunday 2nd (any port in a storm) but other than that I’m free.

I’m up for a meet & greet, we’ll have to pick a place and time. I’ll have to bring the Speedster though. Maggie (she has a name now) is still in pieces all over the garage. For a while there, everything I touched needed work of some sort. I think I’m close to turning the corner though.

Hey Bill,

Maybe us “Pittsburgh” guys can get together locally. Socially distanced of course. Current there’s me, you and now Eric. I don’t know if there is anyone else nearby?

Thx guys.

I will push harder and (hopefully) see you all next year.

Dale has it exactly right.

At this point I think the show itself is still on at the Carlisle Show field ( but who knows what could happen in the future ) but the organizers of the Speedsters/Spyders and TDr’s get together that weekend have canceled our meeting. I believe you can push your registration from this year to next if you ask as others have already done. It will…[Read more]

So Guys.. this is really strange!

On hearing that the Carlisle event was cancelled I called the Marriott as suggested and they told me that ALL registrations had been cancelled already.

I then called Carlisle events to get my registration pushed to next year and they said they have definitely NOT cancelled and the event will go ahead as planned.…[Read more]

It is reported that Carlisle Events will change your showfield registration to 2021 on request. I’ve not requested this yet but at least a couple of guys have.

Unfortunate but I guess the sign of the times – looking forward to VA Beach even more – hope that works out.

Can’t say I didn’t see this coming. Maybe things will improve enough to enjoy VA Beach this fall.

Carlisle 2020 Cancellation… A

fter holding out as long as possible for Covid – 19 situation to improve and after much sole searching, both Alan Merklin and I have decided that in the best interest of health and safety to cancel our Carlisle 2020 event. This was very difficult decision. We are sure that this is disappointing to all of our TDr…[Read more]

Eric,

Welcome – I think I saw you over in the Speedster site? Anyway welcome to the dark side 🙂

I have a Speedster ( in process for to many years now ) and my finished MG TD – see you at Carlisle.

Hi Eric:

Great to have another in Pittsburgh.

Bill (Crash55) has talked me into Carlisle this year so I’ll be taking Annie for the drive. Would be great to meet up with you and your MG at sometime (I’m in Sewickley).

Looks great!

Ryan,

My grill is a cut down original TD grill. They come up on ebay and other places from time to time but expensive. Most original ones are 600.00 to 1000.00 in good shape. At Carlisle two years ago a guy was trying to sell one in decent shape for around 400.00. Bill almost bought it to replace the one he dented in on of his crashes but I think…[Read more]

Very cool, Ed. Looks like it tracks straight, stops straight, sounds good. Sweet!

I posted a short test-drive vid yesterday.

I am sure it would – maybe 3/4″ square aluminum – light and rigid. Can buy at Lowes or Home Depot in the hardware dept.

Bar stock might flex down ( sag ) a bit – not rigid like square or triangle stock in my opinion.
