Listers,
There was an MG garage in Monroeville, PA outside of Pittsburgh called Lombard
Motors. The mechanic there was John "Jack" Greggerson. Jack worked there when
they stopped selling MG's in 1980 and began selling Saab's, he was a Saab
master mechanic. He worked there after they stopped selling Saabs and started
selling speed boats, he worked on those, too. It then became a Johnson the
Florist and Jack stayed on to service the fleet of vans. My wife had fallen in
love with Saabs. She keeps a fleet of early 90's Saab 900's and Jack kept them
all running. She also feel in love with the kindly old fella that seemed to
reside in the basement of Lombards. This year was the year I finally decided
to have the noisy gearbox in the TF rebuilt. Jack took all the parts from the
spare and the transmission from the MG ( I already had a new 1st, 2nd, and
cluster gears ) and made one good transmission out of the two. Jack charged me
$50. Jack passed away this week at 80. They found him under a car with a
wrench in his hand. He suffered a massive heart attack. If only I could go
that way. Doing what made me happy. Jack leaves behind an old Mini Cooper and
an MG TD. Safety Fast Jack.
