I was surprised when my wife suggested that we enter the Moss Motoring Challenge. Lisa figured it would get us out of the house to experience our state. Tourists come from all over to visit Colorado, yet there was so much we hadn’t seen. That was shortly before Memorial Day – a late start –…
My wife and I entitled our year of fun as “California Cruzin’”. Last year we visited four different states. We wanted to show off our little British car to my 90-year old mother, who lives in Utah. (Yes, she did go for a ride in it and loved it!) This year, we decided we wanted…
A couple of weeks ago, I was all set to round up a few more Challenge points. End the race to the finish on an up note. A city starting with an “E”, a laboratory, firetrucks, and a Christmas parade were on the agenda for that afternoon and into the evening. Maggie, my 73 TR6,…
We really enjoyed the motoring challenge this year, after getting started last year and then never really continuing due to life and all that happens with that. Our goal was to go for our usual fun drives, plan a route, and hopefully get a few points each time. This meant sticking to back roads as…
Just some quick items from my driving adventures for the Moss Motoring Challenge: Driving south toward Tooele, top down, i heard a horn beep behind me, and as I looked left saw a Porsche Carerra, also top down, with the driver’s thumb in the air. As he zipped by, I noticed his license plate: AVAST!…
I’ve always been a “Gearhead Gal,” and always will be. I mean, c’mon, how can you not when you have a dad like mine? I grew up in the shop, covered in grease, and surrounded by beautiful cars. We’ve owned all types of them, but we’ve always had a thing for MGs (we’re on number…
Organized by Moss Motors, the Challenge was a contest, a scavenger hunt for places and things. A Challenge Guide had a hunting list of cities, counties, States, Provinces, Moss facilities, specific destinations, National Forests, National Parks, Car Shows and Bonus Points. Points, one or more were earned for each photo showing car (fitted with Moss…
Some of my friends participated in the Motoring Challenge in their MGs in 2013. It seemed like it could be a lot of fun. My wife and I thought it might be something we could do. We like touring in our car. Much more fun that sitting around at a car show. But my British…
It all started with a Mustang…I was fresh out of college, starting my career, ogling cars I was resisting to buy, when one day the local Ford dealership got a used 2004 Saleen S289 SC. Of course I had to drool because the Mustang was one of my favorite cars. Not a few seconds later…
Last year my challenge was to get the TR3 on the road. But this year, I took the Moss Motoring Challenge. For the first few months, I didn’t really take it too seriously. Even after Prudence and I drove to San Francisco, and on to Seattle, I didn’t really think I had a chance. In…
