A great trip with the 'B'

The Victoria BC MG club set out for another adventure on August 9th. Destination: Marina California via the beautiful coast route 101. Of the 13 cars that went, four were MGs including my recently rebuilt '73. We arrived at Marina on the fourth day after great fun and incredible scenery. While in the Monterey area, my wife and I toured Pebble Beach and Carmel and of course Cannery Row and the fantastic Monterey Aquarium. The highlight and the main reason for the trip was the classic car racing at Laguna Seca raceway. A fantastic array of classic cars and great racing. We ticked over 2400 miles on our return. The 'B ran great but did need a new fuel filter after a few coughing incidents. My fault. Should have replaced it before we went. We wished we could have had a dollar for the number of people on the road who said 'great car'. Surely, it was an unusual vehicle amongst the nondescript stuff that plies the highways today. But, not driving a roadster, they don't smell the garlic farms and eucalyptus trees and get the pleasure of 'English' air conditioning(a spray bottle full of water used freely when hot)as we did. Great time. Hope we can do it again.
 
PHOTOS??????
 
Sorry there are no photos. I'm not checked out on how to do that. I am not the most computer literate. Thought you might be interested in our story.
 
Great trip - we lived up on Tortilla Flats just above Cannery Row while I was attending the Defense Language Institute.....ain't Laguna Seca great!

I had no idea that you were on the left coast for awhile, and in Monterey. Maybe you would be interested in this... Check it out.

I sit on the board of directors for the proposed museum. I'm hoping to have a exhibition of MGs when the museum opens. We're a ways from breaking ground.
