I'm in a similar boat, or will be in a few years when we head out of New Jersey to somewhere warmer year round in a couple of years. <div>It's actually not very enjoyable to drive my B in the summer as it's too damn hot, and the hot season seems to be extending in either direction on the calendar these days, </div><div>so the number of days I can really enjoy driving the car is getting less and less.... And when we do move we will be downsizing as well, so may not have the garage space </div><div>to keep the car. </div><div><br></div><div>Dan D</div><div>'76B</div><div>Central NJ USA</div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Mon, Aug 7, 2023 at 10:31 AM <<a href="mailto:h.duinhoven@planet.nl">h.duinhoven@planet.nl</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex"><div class="msg-1321162717961480572"><div lang="NL" style="overflow-wrap: break-word;"><div class="m_-1321162717961480572WordSection1"><p class="MsoNormal">Dear friends,<u></u><u></u></p><p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p><p class="MsoNormal">We have moved home, which is much smaller than the previous one.<u></u><u></u></p><p class="MsoNormal">This also was applicable for the space in the garage. <u></u><u></u></p><p class="MsoNormal">So I had to make a choice – either keeping my MG, or my 3 classic Puch mopeds from the seventies.<u></u><u></u></p><p class="MsoNormal">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.<u></u><u></u></p><p class="MsoNormal">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.<u></u><u></u></p><p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p><p class="MsoNormal">I want to thank the listers for their friendship.<u></u><u></u></p><p class="MsoNormal">Especially those listers whom I met during my several visits tot he USA and UK, or who came to visit me:<u></u><u></u></p><p class="MsoNormal">Rick Lindsay<u></u><u></u></p><p class="MsoNormal">Rui Gigante<u></u><u></u></p><p class="MsoNormal">Bud Krueger - special thanks to Bud for being twice my kind host of the day<u></u><u></u></p><p class="MsoNormal">Carl French<u></u><u></u></p><p class="MsoNormal">Mike Nadeau<u></u><u></u></p><p class="MsoNormal">Frank Krajewski<u></u><u></u></p><p class="MsoNormal">Steve Walker<u></u><u></u></p><p class="MsoNormal">Trefor Delve<u></u><u></u></p><p class="MsoNormal">Paul Hinchcliffe<u></u><u></u></p><p class="MsoNormal">Denise Thorpe – who also did a lot of work on het MGB by herself!<u></u><u></u></p><p class="MsoNormal">Alex Gotfried<u></u><u></u></p><p class="MsoNormal">Ed Kaler of Justbrits…<u></u><u></u></p><p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p><p class="MsoNormal">Jim Goodwin of Colorado Springs very special thanks for organizing a fantastic tour around the Garden of the Gods in February 2011<u></u><u></u></p><p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p><p class="MsoNormal">Pics of the Boston area events at Bud Krueger’s site:<u></u><u></u></p><p class="MsoNormal"><a href="http://www.ttalk.info/Tech/hans_across_the_water.htm" target="_blank">http://www.ttalk.info/Tech/hans_across_the_water.htm</a> <u></u><u></u></p><p class="MsoNormal"><a href="http://www.ttalk.info/hans2.htm" target="_blank">http://www.ttalk.info/hans2.htm</a> <u></u><u></u></p><p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p><p class="MsoNormal">Paul Hunt - special thanks to Paul, whom I met a the Heritage Museum Gaydon UK<u></u><u></u></p><p class="MsoNormal">My MG pictured during this visit in the UK in July 2011<u></u><u></u></p><p class="MsoNormal"><img border="0" width="1466" height="874" style="width: 15.2708in; height: 9.1041in;" id="m_-1321162717961480572Afbeelding_x0020_1" src="cid:189d0b9b2e74cff311"><u></u><u></u></p><p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p><p class="MsoNormal">Paul & me pictured with our cars in front of the museum:<u></u><u></u></p><p class="MsoNormal"><img border="0" width="1178" height="725" style="width: 12.2708in; height: 7.552in;" id="m_-1321162717961480572Afbeelding_x0020_2" src="cid:189d0b9b2e85b16b22"><u></u><u></u></p><p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p><p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p><p class="MsoNormal">The list has helped me with the restoration of my GT and after learning on the job, I was able to help others. <u></u><u></u></p><p class="MsoNormal">Thanks everyone!<u></u><u></u></p><p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p><p class="MsoNormal">If our moderator is o.k. with it, I’d like to stay in a more listing / lurking mode.<u></u><u></u></p><p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p><p class="MsoNormal">Cheers, <span><u></u><u></u></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span><u></u> <u></u></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span>Hans Duinhoven<u></u><u></u></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p></div></div>_______________________________________________<br>
