He apparently also has a biplane, or at least flies one. Well, I have been talking up first the Melee and now the Snowball so much that he is proposing bringing the entire family over FROM NEW ZEALAND to attend the next Melee! Thing is, he is a) a dedicated Jag nut, b) not rich as Croesus, and c) will have at least two other people along with him including a 12-year-old daughter. AND he needs a car... The ideal thing I guess would be to rent a Mark II (or VII, VII, or IX I suppose), but this doesn't appear to be commercially possible. I did find a Silver Cloud for $135/hr - not helpful. Or a 1937 Plymouth for $10 less - also not helpful. So what I'm thinking is that there might be someone going on the Melee who has such a car and who could use some extra cash via "renting" their vintage car to my friend. In a pinch, an Alfa or MG sedan or similar would probably do as well. I know it sounds crazy but he does seem serious. I myself considered going to Goodwood this year before I came to my senses (or the wife did anyway). There, however, I guess vintage Jags are to be had for rent. I have suggested posting this request on the Melee list and also on Jag-Lovers, as well as floating it by the wonderful, completely nuts, and completely dedicated man who runs an XK owners site on Facebook (though he's in Toronto). At any rate, I would truly appreciate hearing of any thoughts anyone out there in NOBBC Land might have on any of the above.

This month has a lot of British (and regular) events so we'll probably bump into some of them. I think next weekend is clear so we'll go then.

So, let's meet at 10AM on next Saturday (5/9) in the parking lot of the PG&E substation just west of 101 on River Rd. Unless someone suggests a ride destination before the meeting, the group present will decide where to go. Something to think about, we haven't been to Berryessa in a while.

My posting was delayed as I came home to find my SD card corrupted, and after trying four or five separate downloaded data-retrieval programs on it, schlepped it down to Adolph Gasser's here in San Francisco. The wizards there were able to extract virtually all the pix, with only a few being corrupted (certainly not be moi...). I left these in anyway and am calling them High Art. I particularly like The Red Tree. All this was after losing an entire day when my friends Pete and Nancy Bergman's TR4a's water pump went on the fritz. Actually "lost" is the wrong word, as no end of excitement ensued in attempting to effect a repair, including spot welding via jumper cables off the battery... Actual spark photos are to be seen in the TR4a Woes album.

And it ain't over yet. It should all be fine by next week, though. The current ISP providing Team.Net connectivity along with several other domains and network related services is Qwest. Saturday, May 2nd, they cut off my network access. They have been recieving complaints about "malicious activity" from one of my servers. It has happened before. The first time I actually spent many hours on the phone over a period of several days and found out the nature of the "malicious activity." Someone too lazy or too stupid to click on the 'unsubscribe' link for one of the mailing lists was flagging all incoming Team.Net emails as spam. Once I finally managed to penetrate deep into the Qwest support to find someone with more than a single digit IQ, it took me just a few seconds to remove the braindead A-hole from the lists to which they subscribed. It happened again a while back, again I took the time and effort to finally get to the root of the problem and removed the whining piece of human debris from the appropriate list. This time I've had enough. It is so frustrating to have to go through their entire little debugging script *every time* I talk to a new person about it: Them: What operating system are you running? Me: Unix, FreeBSD 6.2 Them: No, I mean are you running Vista, XP or Windows 98? Me: Like I said, I'm running Unix, FreeBSD 6.2. I am NOT running Windows, just like I told all the other ... You know, a lot of people who just use computers as a basic appliance would not understand the details of that conversation, they have no need to. But tech support people working for a major company like Qwest? How do people that incompetent get through the first job interview? Do they have anyone on their staff who can even *spell* Unix?? At any rate, the problem that Qwest claims I have is still not resolved, they will most likely once again cut off my network access soon. As I said, I've had enough. On Friday, May 8th I will be changing from Qwest to XMission, located here in Salt Lake, for Team.Net ISP service. The changeover will result in Team.Net services being unavailable for a few days. IP addresses, nameserver data, etc. will take a day or two or so to percolate through the network. So expect sporadic service over the next few days, but it should all settle down by early next week.

Mark your calendars The Seventh Annual Oakmont Car Show will be held on Saturday, May 23 in the main Berger Center Parking lot. (just inside the main entrance) The event will feature a beautiful collection of vintage and classic cars from 10:00 a.m. until 1:00 p.m. (participant staging will begin at 9:00 a.m.) The Village market will supplying fresh coffee, snacks, burgers, etc., at reasonable prices and there are picnic tables and places for visiting and comparing notes. It is suggested that you call Clive Egerton 539 1329 or Bob Stinson 539 7684 if you intend to participate as they will make up nice plaques for each car and owner. This year for the first time there will be an entry fee of $5.00 per car to help offset the cost of participant ribbons, mailing, printing and other expenses. Some of us have enjoyed this meet for free in past years and we are all aware of rising costs of materials. Perhaps we could go for a ride at an agreed time, maybe visit Kunde winery again, or other place as we did for the Valentine's Day ride started at Dawson's home.

It's been over a year since the last donations so they are certainly welcome. I note we are up to date on the web page. Thanks Tcheric! All aid is appreciated. The bill runs a around $20/month. Sorry I can't get to ride with you this weekend. Putting finishing touches on the new deck and landscaping of the back yard. Pia's birthday is next Sat. And we are having a garden party. If you are free you are welcome to attend. We will be supplying tri-tip and chicken, soft and hard drinks and H2O. A side would be good and maybe a bottle o wine. No gifts required unless you wish to contribute to The Breast Cancer fund. If you think you might like to attend let me know so we can adjust the menu item availability. Happy motoring!

This is why I have put together the tech sessions, and though the contributions from members who have attended have offset the cost, I have been happy to contribute the balance. It would seem this same sense of largess has spread to other members, such as Andy, John and Dawson most recently, which is very welcome and appreciated, particularly by original members like yourself, Ron, etc. Robin's offer of items for sale to generate some funds is also very generous, and I would guess that there are more members willing to pitch in to lead drives, host events, and otherwise pitch in, particularly because this is such a low-maintenance group!

You know I don't mind the small contribution of funds that I have made over the years prior to the last round of donations. I would do it with or without the aid of members, just because. I'm not in this for any reason but that I enjoy the pleasure of the company of members. I do not have the time or inclination to shop around for web providers though. Easier for me to just let it ride. As to contributions I'm a Ludite. A check or cash is about all I can handle.

Picking up on Ron's idea, using the Vallejo address, I MapQuested both a freeway route (52 minutes from Vallejo) and a scenic one via Route 121 (which crunched out at 1:40). So that would be an extra 45+ minutes and pretty early meeting time but it is a thought. (to make Woodland by 8:30 would entail LEAVING at 6:50...) I just discovered that you can drag MapQuest direction maps (also Google ones and Yahoo as well I think) to go any roads you want (more or less I suppose). This is a feature I've been looking for for years! So yes, let's see what percolates up from the old List...

Could be fun...definitely scenic. Rural farmland at the foothills of the Blue Ridge Berryessa/Vaca Mountains. Pleasants Valley, Wooden Valley and Green Valley are all favorite drives of mine. Now is the season for cherries and strawberries. I would be happy to host a wine and produce tour of the area another time but I think we are packing in too much to be able to get to Woodland by 8:30ish. We can take a consensus when we meet and determine if some scenic side trips can be accommodated that would allow for rolling in to Woodland at 9:00 AM.

Are there any folks from Santa Rosa or north who are going to the show and would like to caravan in a group from here? Thinking of taking the Elan, but with no OD, my freeway speeds are rather slow (55-65) to keep from going nuts with engine noise and sucking down the fuel.

Well, the Cordelia Park and Ride is looking to be roughly 11 minutes from the Bergman's motel and should thus be doable. Picking up on Ron's idea, using the Vallejo address, I MapQuested both a freeway route (52 minutes from Vallejo) and a scenic one via Route 121 (which crunched out at 1:40).

Well, the Cordelia Park and Ride is looking to be roughly 11 minutes from the Bergman's motel and should thus be doable. Picking up on Ron's idea, using the Vallejo address, I MapQuested both a freeway route (52 minutes from Vallejo) and a scenic one via Route 121 (which crunched out at 1:40). So that would be an extra 45+ minutes and pretty early meeting time but it is a thought. (to make Woodland by 8:30 would entail LEAVING at 6:50...)

I can empathize with your concern about overheating your new engine; 212 at the gauge isn't pretty to see, especially after all of the work that goes into an engine rebuild. Even worse with an aluminum head, and I think I'm getting to the point of installing a large aluminum radiator in the Elan. The last club drive had me pushing 195 in a few places, with both fans running, and it wasn't really a hot day. I think the idea of taking a backroads route home might be good for some, if it means not getting stuck in traffic in the blaring heat - at least some of the alternate routes are shaded by trees. Sounds like the NOBBC will be well represented at Woodland this year!

Sort of leaning towards Marin only because it is closer but could be persuaded either way.

Message-ID: <4A0D4AC1.90908@sonic.net> Hello all. I sent out a feeler over the weekend to the NOBBC group, to see if anyone might be interested in my early '74 MGB. Got a couple of responses. I thought I'd try again. Any interest at all, let me know. I'm open to offers, etc. Here is a set of links to pix of the vehicle, with a little more of a description below. I'm trying to make some room in the garage, and have not been driving the B as much as I used to; and am also tired of working on cars, so am interested in getting rid of the B and all associated parts I have for it. I'd really like it to go to a good home. I thought this would be the best place to start, before going to Craig's List and the classifieds. http://www.sonic.net/craigw/images/MGB001.jpg http://www.sonic.net/craigw/images/MGB002.jpg http://www.sonic.net/craigw/images/MGB003.jpg http://www.sonic.net/craigw/images/MGB004.jpg http://www.sonic.net/craigw/images/MGB005.jpg http://www.sonic.net/craigw/images/MGB006.jpg http://www.sonic.net/craigw/images/MGB007.jpg http://www.sonic.net/craigw/images/MGB009.jpg http://www.sonic.net/craigw/images/MGB010.jpg http://www.sonic.net/craigw/images/MGB012.jpg http://www.sonic.net/craigw/images/MGB013.jpg http://www.sonic.net/craigw/images/MGB014.jpg Had the sunshade on when the flash was going off, that's what the shadow is in some of the pix. Maybe they'll give you an idea of the car's shape. I never did paint the car, other than the door tops, when I had the side door cracks fixed a few years ago. When I got the car around 1988, I bought a parts car, and combined the best of both cars into this driver. The body had sat out for a few years in a mechanics yard over on Hoen Ave., and was in good metal shape, but the paint job had faded and pitted a bit in spots. I have a fairly new Peco exhaust system on it, and the suspension has all poly bushings, as well as slightly lowered front springs and a pair of GT rear leaf springs. The ride is very tight. The stow-away top (or hardtop) has to be used as the roll bar is an old style, which doesn't permit the top to be folded down. My first MGB, a '66 had this same set up and I always liked it. The Michelin radial tires are fairly new too, with not much wear, as I haven't driven her much in the last couple of years. Before that, I used it for years as my daily driver, back and forth to work on the freeway between Santa Rosa and Healdsburg. It's got a high compression engine I bought from Glenn Towery in Delaware. It's also got an electric overdrive transmission. That's a little history, and detail. This is my 2nd post, as I wanted to include the pix, just in case.

I think you could eat off of the engine. Who won the class? Are you sure you don't want to tackle another restoration? I think I might just have to sell my 1961 as I just don't have the time or where-with-all to tackle it. I do have three engines but what I had hoped for was the overdrive and five main bearing from my 1971 MGB. Still looking for someone to take it on for a fee.

Lots of incredible cars and our LBCs made a good showing. I took 2nd place in my class (H3 Imported cars 61-87 under $5000 orig cost) with my Daimler and a Sunbeam Tiger took 3rd. In the H1 class (Imported cars 45-60 under $5,000) an MG Arnolt took first and a 56 Morgan took 2nd. An E-type took the award for best engineering and design for it's time period. I'm still waiting for a list of all the award winners, so I don't know about other British winners. Tom Price (for those of you that remember we visited his car barn in Marin a couple of years ago) had a Aston Martin DB2 drophead and a McLaren F-1 there along with his Ferrari 250 GTO and Alfa Romeo 8C. Lot's of American iron too from Cords, Auburns, Packards and Duesenbergs to stock muscle cars. Other than being too hot it was a great afternoon.

Trish and I considered brining the Elan to give Sarto some competition (he'd still win), but decided against frying our brains and the car's fiberglas. It was a smaller show than previously, with many fewer cars in each category than two years ago when we attended it in Dixon. A few more cars were arriving when we left at 1130, so we may have missed out on some nice ones. Still, the organizers do a great job, and the vendors were out in force with many good used parts. This month is definitely packed with lots of classic car events - not surprising there would be conflicts in scheduling. Anyone going to enter the Redwood Empire Mini Enthusiasts' car show later this year? Congratulations NOBBC show entrants!

I attended the all british car meet last week in my 64 TR4, but I normally would have attended the Marin Concourse just as an interest. I didn't find out about it untill two days before it occurred, but I did note that there several other other events on that particular day. The Marin Concourse is a new event, organized by Dr. Carles Goodman of San Rafael. Dr. Goodman has a fairly notable car collection that includes everything from Corvettes to Dusenburgs, and he hopes to have this event annually. If the Nobbc or other car clubs have the same specific dates or events each year, then someone should try to contact Dr. Goodman about his date for next year to avoid duplication. His is a big event that is sure to attract a lot of attention each year, and it is probably likely that some club members may opt to attend a larger local event again.

Trish and I found your XK120 absolutely stunning at the Woodland show- loved that wonderful color. The first classic car I drove was a 120-M (SE in the UK) when I was 17. The kind owner's wife almost divorced him when she saw me driving back to the house after a spin around the block. They bought it new and kept is in almost concours condition, despite regularly driving it to shows. They showed me pictures from a show many years prior to me knowing them, of their Jag on the grass at a concours, with their bulldog tied to the bumper and skidmarks in the grass at the rear wheels. Apparently the dog had seen something it wanted and proceeded to drag the Jag a few feet across the grass, with the handbrake on. Hope to see you on a drive despite the distance - maybe we can lure you and some of our other southern members up if we organize another Marin tour.

Try and find a good upholstery shop that can custom make another one for you. It shouldn't cost too much. I know an upholsterer in Cotati that could do that kind of work and he charges $60 hr and is fairly quick. In fact I'll be seeing him next week to install a new top with a zip out rear window on my 67 MGB Roadster, so I'll ask him. A new top you say, when I never use my old one. It's for the trip to Colorado at the end of June, when we cross I 50 through Nevada and Utah. I'll have the top up and the zip out rear window down in an attempt to avoid boiling my brains too much.

Years ago I opened the rear window of Trish's car on the freeway and WHOOSH! Out went her $350 field jacket, which was a big deal at the time because we had little money. Within 15 seconds it had been run over by 2 cars and one semi tractor-trailer, whipping around the huge tire. Instant garbage. Not sure how the liability issue would work - it would probably be best to deny its existence. I'll bet someone in the club knows a local upholstery shop that could fab up a new one for you at a reasonable price.

You were a lucky 17 year old that got to drive a nice Jag. I was a 9 year old kid in Finland in 1950 when a rich car dealer imported the first 120 to race. Our family was out for a Sunday walk, when I heard it behind me, then saw it go by, and smelled the aroma of whatever they were burning. He didn't win the race, but his car won my heart, and when I was 19 I bought mine. It was already old and clapped out, but I drove it for about 4 years without putting up the rag (literally) top. I sold it when I was getting married the first time, to a l7 year old and his British mother, but it came back with the father the following day, who demanded the money back or he would sue, as he hadn't been in on the deal. My dad, who was already 65, said he always loved that car, and bought it for a small song, drove it lots of places (Lake Tahoe, Los Angeles among others), drove is locally, often while somewhat inebriated, and wrecked it once with the sun in his eyes, and wine in his brain, had some really cheap body work done, but kept driving it. When he died in 1974, it sat at my moms house until 1986 when I towed it home. In the meantime, I had divorced and remarried, our son came along, so it sat for another 10 years until I started working on it. It's been on the road about 6 years now, but it's only been about 3 years that we've become involved with some events, and it's surely high time! There were a couple of times I could have used that bulldog though, when Lucas gremlins (in its prior life with me) left me by the side of the road... Anyway, we look forward we look forward to spending time and miles with nobbc and you all.

We have also never been on Mt. Diablo, and the Delta is always cool, but never been to Locke! We don't yet have a whole lot of plans, except the Lucas-Marelli rally starting in Los Gatos on May 31st (interested?), and on June 20th we are busy, and on July 22nd we leave for Finland. We should be able to squeeze in a little tour before then. Let us know what your schedule looks like, and we'll plan something.
