Pretty car but to be a real TD Replica the “manufacturer has to cease being in business”

Guys:
Just made my hotel reservations for 5/20-22 which gives me all day Friday and Sat. morning to play there.  I had to pull some strings to get a room they are in short supply.
Look forward to seeing some MGTD’s there.  Inorder to get the wife there she will need to visit some outlets for shopping.  Money well spent.

Ed:
That picture sent chills down my spine.  We had a meager 15 inches of snow yesterday.  One more reason to get myself down to Florida.
I hope you survive the spring thaw.
 
 

Ed:
Nice looking car, kind of makes me miss Mrs. Peel who is on vacation in Florida.

Those real wire wheels are both real pretty, which came from MG Magic? Never know I might hit Lotto.

The way the dash is usually cut there is a square cut for the face and two round cuts…[Read more]

I didn’t measure it but I would guess about 3/4″.  The front plate of the radio is about a 1/4″ thick hence the problem.luvmytd40192.5903125

Paul:
The radio works fine the stems are long enough to work the volume and tuner.  I just lost the fader function becasue of the short stems.  I haven’t figured out a fix yet.

Got back to NY yesterday afternoon, according to my kids it was a balmy 28 degrees.  Glad Greg and my other Florida friends got to taste a little snow.
when we left Florida on Sat. morning it was raining and 32 degrees made for a intersting start to our Northward journey.
Only 122 more days ………….

Florida is on the 40’s, Mrs Peel has a full gas tank.  Added the Stabil to the gas this morning.
Later this morning she will leave my home to the car hotel where she will live till July.
6AM tomorrow morning The Villages will be in my rear view mirror as we drive north.  Hope to reach Virginia tomorrow night, and back to frozen NY on sun…[Read more]

Just got back from our farewell dinner with Greg and his Lady.  The month has gone by so fast.
Had a few days of top down weather, then someone opened the freezer doors.
Car is going back into storage for 128 days till I retire and come down to Florida permanently.  Short cold snaps will be tolerable then.

Hey even I felt the cold, mostly the wind did the damage.  I had a fantastic time showing Greg’s and my car to the large crowds.  Even the most strident Brits were impressed with our replicas.
Remember “Copies are the sincerest form of flattery” and we don’t even need a mechanic on retainer.
 

To all my TD Friends
The Zeiger Family wishes you and your family a Merry Christmas, and/or a  Happy Hanukkah.  May 2010  bring you good health, much success and many miles of happy motoring in your TD.

snowed again last night………..get me down to Florida
Next week it top down time
 

Nice job
But what are you going to listen to when you drive your golf cart?

Looks like the offspring of a drunken sat night when a MG TD and a dune buggy hooked up

Richard:
I am trying to convince the wife we should attend (we are moving south next summer) before we move.  Since my car is in Florida we will just go to shop and admire the cars.  If it comes to pass count us in for dinner.

Dan:
change the speakers first, after time they need replacement.  I bought a radio on ebay for less than $50 (will install it next week) that accepts a usb memory stick and SD card.  I prefer that to leave an ipod in the car (it’s more convenient and easier to carry when out of the car).
