No. California was the state which the most MGs were sold in, but you can
not claim it is still the state with the most MGs. Just look what has
happened in the last twenty years. The folks across the pond purchase large
numbers of 'rust-free' cars from California, and similarly so do those in
non-arid US states. Not to mention Australia, and Japan; which also seek
out Californian cars. I feel that in the last twenty years that the
distribution has evened out, and California is no longer the state which
holds the majority of the marque(s).

I do not know about NAMGBR, but in the VTR a local chapter or club must
petition VTR about three years in advance with a proposal for the annual get
together. The proposal goes up for voted, and the best and most realistic
proposal is chosen. If this is how NAMGBR works, has your chapter/club
petitioned NAMGBR?
