assembled in Antelope Park with an outstanding group, both in quality and variety. From the MG ranks we started with a TF, and marched through time with an MGA, MGB, MGB-GT, and MGB LE. Triumphs ran through the TR series with 3, 4, 6, 7 represented, and a Spitfire for good measure. 
We were fortunate to have three Jags, an E-type, a MK IX sedan, and a XJS. It would have been nice to have the XK series represented. We really need a 120, 140 or 150 in the club. (Hints for Christmas perhaps?) The Austin-Healey Marque was in full glory with a 100-4 and a pair of great 3000s. An excellent Bugeye, and Dr. Danielson's "mystery" MK 1-2-4 completed the Healeys. We were also happy to have a Ford 302 powered TVR, and one of Marty and Marilyn's Minis in attendance. The audience obviously enjoyed the cars very much, and we spoke with lots of people who started the conversation "I had one of those when..." People and cars of note were the Greg and Greg show. It seems that the Mr. Greg Hier owns the TR-4 which belonged to the Mr. Greg Lemon before he bought his 100-4. There was an owner in between so it was gratifying for the two Gregs to meet and know that one's pride and joy is in good hands. It was also wonderful to see Fred Holbert behind the wheel of his 3000 after a nasty bit of ill health. Bill Zabel graced us with the first club appearance of his TR-3 , and as previously mentioned, Marcus Tooze brought his wicked and fast TVR V8.
(Author's note: I had a ride in this car in 6 cyl. form. DO NOT get in this car for a thrill ride without a bottle of tranquilizers and a note from your mother). As is always the case, good friends, good food, and driving our cars was the order of the day. That night, however, we added good music and a great bit of community PR to the formula. It sure works for me!
