Adapting the CMC frame and glass to the MG fold-down mounting system is probably doable but will also probably entail quite a bit more labor than you at first would think. If you do it, by all means document your process!

Adapting the CMC folding top to the MG pin-and-clamp header support would undoubtedly be even trickier.

My car came with a TD-like windscreen. It is very similar to an original but not quite the same size—slightly narrower, as I recall. My car’s scuttle did not have the molded-in “plinths” for an extended windshield frame, If yours does have those, you’d have to shave them and reshape the scuttle for the MG windshield mount. Then you (probably) h…[Read more]

Well there’s another Carlisle show in the history books. The weather was perfect and I think most of us had a pretty good time. It was great to see Bill and Audrey with their new (two years old to them) green machine, and Bill Ascheman with his race MG’s cooling problems sorted.

It was also great to meet Gary and Doreen Wilson of upstate New…[Read more]

Weather is looking good!

Muster up, gentlemen. And remember to let Alan know on the Speedster forum thread (click that link!) if you’re coming to the banquet. Karen and I are already booked.

Excellent news! Well done.

The Spyder is going to be housed in Building T on the fairgrounds. Not sure just when I’m heading up but I might do Wednesday and then drive it over and drop it off there Thrusday a.m.

Currently re-doing the brakes after a mishap. New MC supposedly on the way.

Glad to hear it, Bill!

Everyone: I am setting up two nice cruise routes for the group. They will both be at each person’s discretion, rather than trying to do a mass ride. The first one hits covered bridges and a winery. The other one is TBD.

That should do it. But why did you locate the new filler so far from the old one?

Nice! Alan Merklin is going to be collecting the banquet money this year. He’s away for the week and will get back to us on his return.

Also: when purchasing your showfield sticker please check off the Speedster Owners Group under the “Affiliated Club” dropdown. That builds out head count and gets us a free canopy and chairs at the event.

Carlisle is happening this year. We are moving back to the old hotel.

There will also be a Saturday banquet option for those who want (highly recommend). Dinner is going to be $60 a head for a pretty impressive menu in a really nice place. Details to come.

What You Need To Do:  Our event dates are Thursday May 13th – Sunday
May 16th .. some of…[Read more]

Sorry to hear, Dan and Al. For the rest of you: Carlisle is back this year, and we’re moving the hotel back to the Mechanicsville Courtyard by Marriott. There is a thread here which will be updated tonight with the new information. There will be more later.

Slick!

Hope that solves it.

It does.

Hey Jeff.

Many thanks, Stephen.

Carlisle is scheduled for the normal weekend. The Speedster Owners Club is pondering out next move. Planning to come to a decision early March.

I’m leaning yes, but much depends on the vaccine rollout and how the mutations carry. This thing is in no way slowing down, and half a million dead is nothing to, well, sneeze at.
