I'll add a few words about my desire to talk to Peter Eagan during the 
event.  Some time back he wrote in one of his R &T articles about his 
experience owning a MG-TC.  I loved that article and wanted to share my 
experience owning a '48 MG-TC. Well it did not work out and I did not 
get the opportunity to meet him.
In the spring of 1954 a friend and fellow member of the Bitburg, 
Germany, Sports Car Club said that there was an MG-TC that he knew about 
that had been left by a officer when he was hastily sent back to the 
states and discharged. He thought that it could be available at a very 
reasonable cost.  Bottom line, the car was sitting behind the Officers 
BOQ, with the top down and full of snow.   So, I acquired my first 
sports car.  If you never have driven a TC, you need to have had that 
experience. I'll go no deeper but wish it had worked to have the 
  opportunity to compare notes with Peter.  I am very sorry to hear that 
he will not longer be writing his article. I was telling Joe Alexander 
that is the reason I still get R & T.
