MG TD TF 1500 - gof2015

Who's going to GoF2015 in Rohnert Park, CA?
Keith Yarbrough(TD 1275)

We won't be going Keith. I would need a few hands to finish the road ability tasks. A few days of solid work. I'm still at the Master Chief's bedside with Sarah,waiting for Taps and a ships bell to ring. I had hoped it would be quick but it is not to be.

Dad was disappointed that we couldn't get the car home for him to see and get to drive it and that he would miss GOF. It's all we talked about since our TD first arrived last July as a pile of parts in the driveway I found his Rally Timers and will have them restored at some point and added to the dash.

Butch, see you on the 101 tomorrow. Knowing you, it will be as you pass us in the fast lane. ;)

I am also not going to be able to make it. Really wanted the club to see the GT as it was owned by a some of their members in the past, but I got a short notice job to to in Virginia.

Just got back. We were only 140 miles away from home. It was a great event and Lawrie Alexander and the Sac Valley MG Car Club did a great job putting on the event. There were about 150 cars at the event, most were driven in. Some came from as far away as BC (1000+ miles).

It was nice to have all the MG models there. Heck, when we first started the GoF West's in 1973, the TF was newer than the newest MGB's are today :-)

Our rally skills were a bit off and we did OK in the Funkana but made a few minor mistakes that kept us out of the running. Maybe next time.

Weather and location were perfect.

My biggest problems were rpm and mph gauges plus the tach reduction box. I have some work to do and it may just be lubrication but you have to go deep to find out :-)

Chris we managed to show up Wednesday and sat in on the Huffaker session and went crazy at the live auction with some spirited bidding. Assisted in the funkhana but then I loaded up my Aussie Sarah and we headed home. Meet some great people, saw some beautiful machinery, picked up a few bargains at the swap meet but we had to get back and take care of dads final arraignments. He would have enjoyed himself immensely had he been there. Hopefully someone will step up for next year and we will be able to attend with out TD. Sorry I missed you as I had a need to look at your car for a bit and quite frankly, I had been mesmerized by all the fine cars I had completely forgot to take detail shots I needed to finish mine. For those that missed it. You really missed out. It was my first GOF and for the short time I was able to be there I had a blast

Cheers
