If you are really interested in this sort of stuff, the British V8 club has 
already been mentioned.  What hasn't been mentioned is that they hold a 
convention every year and you will se 60 or so cars at these conventions, mostly MG's 
but enough R's to make it interesting for us TR guys.  Next year's convention 
will be in Port Hudson, Wisc (north of Milwaukee).
