Soooo true. The 75B is the only thing I got going presently. Sold the
77 B and it crapped out on me as I was leaving to drop it off at new
owner's (thinking relay or ballast/just hoping it ain't the after
market electronic ignition). I got to find time to deal with that first
thing next week. Also plan on have the the 76 B and 76 Midget running
in the next couple of weeks. The Midget I'll going in no time but the
stopping part is going to take a bit longer. Adam's 72 is running as
well as an engine in need of a rebuild can be expected to run.

Actually we're at the Holiday Inn but it's a great deal anyway. Psyhed
is what I am (why else would I be typing this at 2:30 AM when I have 7
AM departure planned).

Don't forget about "The British are Coming!!!" here on Long Island on
the 14th. Pre-registration, doubled from prior year, indicates that
this is going to be a GREAT!! show.
Vanderbilt Concour Pre-reg forms are out and the show is open to 125
cars this year. There will be no "day-of" reg as last year the show was
full two weeks prior to the event. This show brings out the Creme da la
Creme of automobiles. Aug 23rd, mark it in ink on the calendar.
For all, on the east Coast USA and Canada, there is an updated events
page available at http://www.mgcars.org.uk/clubs/deutsch.html
