Hello Hans,

Subject: [Mgs] Without my MG

 

Dear friends,

 

We have moved home, which is much smaller than the previous one.

This also was applicable for the space in the garage. 

So I had to make a choice - either keeping my MG, or my 3 classic Puch
mopeds from the seventies.

I have been measuring a lot and came tot he conclusion, that the 3 Puch
mopeds are to stay and the MG had to go.

After 33 years of joy with my MGB GT from California, restoring it, driving
it, and rarely being stranded because of a malfunctioned ignition rotor of
only 9 months and <2,000 miles old) I sold it.

 

I want to thank the listers for their friendship.

Especially those listers whom I met during my several visits tot he USA and
UK, or who came to visit me:

Rick Lindsay

Rui Gigante

Bud Krueger       - special thanks to Bud for being twice my kind host of
the day

Carl French

Mike Nadeau

Frank Krajewski

Steve Walker

Trefor Delve

Paul Hinchcliffe

Denise Thorpe - who also did a lot of work on het MGB by herself!

Alex Gotfried

Ed Kaler of Justbrits.

 

Jim Goodwin of Colorado Springs very special thanks for organizing a
fantastic tour around the Garden of the Gods in February 2011

Paul Hunt            - special thanks to Paul, whom I met a the Heritage
Museum Gaydon UK

My MG pictured during this visit in the UK in July 2011

 

Paul & me pictured with our cars in front of the museum:

 

The list has helped me with the restoration of my GT and after learning on
the job, I was able to help others. 

Thanks everyone!

 

If our moderator is o.k. with it, I'd like to stay in a more listing /
lurking mode.

 

Cheers, 

 

Hans Duinhoven
