In My Own Words
By #STC60TS56749L Transcribed by Robert Frassinello It is the darkest day of my life: June 27, 1968.

Abram Was Here, Too
We met Abram about a year and a half ago and have been following him ever since. It’s not everyday you get to meet a modern day explorer, one who’s keenly passionate about British cars of all kinds. The most recent news from Abram is that he’s come across a derelict TR3. You can see…

Car Club Tips
By Greg Prehodka In November 2011 I moved from NJ to Nazareth, Pa, and joined two MG clubs and one British car club near my new home. At all of them, the folks in charge asked me something like “If you have any ideas for things we can do, let us know.” Well, that got…
