Re: Poly bushings for a MGC

Good - now to get it out of the paint booth in time to put it together....here's my engine - Glenn Towry built it!

Tony.

You can make it, take your V8 to the 2006 meet, we all want to see it. I may take both of mine, definately the Silver Lady and maybe the Red 3.5 (VROOM8). The 2004 meet in New Jersey, if my memory serves me right had about 14 cars in the V8 class.

Mike,

Are you coming to the V8 meet as well? We'd like to see you there.

 

[Mike Cook]

Dan.
I am trying to do both meets, but this far out I am not sure, of course it depends on work.

Mike - I'm thinking that even if it isn't finished I might winch it up on the trailer & bring to the V8 show.

Please do!

Yep - for one of our local shows, I brought the frame for the TR3 when I was restoring it - had just installed the engine and trans. Got lots of lookers - neat to see a work in progress.

Bazul. ~smiles sweetly, bats eyes~

Can we have ONE more sticky, for the V8 gathering and MG2006 combined? Where people can add their names that are going, where they stay? No chit chat, just a list of people planning on going?

PWEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEZE?

Well, after seeing the photos of the trucks on the dragon, I don't think that I'm going to take a chance on messing up over two years of work by taking the "B" on it and chancing meeting up with one. I don't understand why trucks over a specified length and width are not banned from driving on it. PJ /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/nonono.gif

 

[jaybird]

Rick Ingram is going to have the local car club (correct me if I'm wrong) put together a list of 'drives.' TOTDragon won't be the only road on the list I'm sure. Joe Reed & Naomi have both already given me other, alternate routes (or additional routes) I'm doing the Dragon. Most probably alone because I'll puke & die if Chuck drives - and if I drive, I'll have to toss him out on one of the hairpin turns because he's a HORRIBLE rightseat driver.

 

[PAUL161]

Well, I rebuilt the B to drive, not to show. So were going to do a lot of driving, but not on the Dragon. Also we canceled out of the KOA in Pigeon Forge and are going to stay at the Holly Haven RV Park on Wears Valley Rd. from the 19th to the 26th.

 

[jaybird]

Paul I drive the wheels off Emma and still stick her in the shows. There's a huge list of driving roads listed on MGBE, and you can go to www.tailofthedragon.com and check out the other 'scenic routes' they have listed there.

 

[PAUL161]

Thanks! will check it out.

Greetings!

The website for MG 2006 - [https://www.mg2006.com] - has recently been updated.

Important information concerning TRAILER PARKING, the CAR SHOW, tours of the BILTMORE ESTATE, and information regarding PET FRIENDLY HOTELS can be found on the opening page.

I have also learned that some of our enthusiasts are calling the hotels at which we have room blocks to make new reservations or to edit existing reservations only to find that "the hotel is blocked by a corporation" or "we don't have any information regarding your reservation".

ALL RESERVATIONS AND CHANGES TO EXISTING RESERVATIONS MUST GO THROUGH THE MG2006 WEBSITE.

The hotel staff does NOT, at this time, have any information regarding reservations for the event.

We currently have rooms available at three of the properties - The Holiday Inn Sunspree, the Park Vista, and the Microtel.

As changes in the weather brings Spring, I anticipate the availability of these rooms to decrease rapidly....and recommend that you make your event registration AND your room reservations THROUGH THE WEBSITE today!

Regards....

Rick Ingram

Paul....don't let pictures posted on the web take the enjoyment that the Tail offers....

the Tail is NOT a super-speedway (although some of the two-wheeled rice burners attempt to make it that at times)

Your MG will not be complete without a Dragon sticker or pin on it somewhere!
