Dear fellow American auto owners and enthusiasts,

I am writing to let you know that on the 13th of September, the website will be undergoing some significant changes and the current forum as you know it will be locked in order to make way for our new forum. All users will need to re-register on the new website as there is no reliable way to bring them all to the new system.

The old forum will still be kept online as an archive but you will be unable to post new messages to it. All new posts should be made in the new forum when it is made available on Sunday.

Please accept our apologies for this inconvenience and hope you will like the new AACNW home.

Best regards,
AACNW Website team.

I think they've only once had a class specifically for Americans, and that's when a member had two!  (Me: 1980 Buick and 1990 Chrysler; not to mention later, 1991 Chevy and 1962 Cadillac)  It was won by John Wayne Greatbanks, with the red Cadillac.  They organise the cars by decade, Keith Pugh got his cup for 1960s, which means his 68 Mustang was up against some VERY sparkly MGs (and this IS an MG club, remember).  The problem is, one-make clubs tend to get a little isolated, so unless the members embrace diversity (in 2004 I showed the Buick, Chrysler AND my MG at this event) they tend to lack the appreciation of something as different as our cars.  Compared to an MGB, anything from Detroit is pure sci-fi!

MG Club have already put up a few photos on their website, looks like it was a dull day weather-wise.  They've been really cursed in recent years, I think the last time their show was blessed was about 2005!

       They had a table full of trophys................but none of them were for the American cars that turned up (another club that seems to favour british cars!)   

        Ken Tipler ( 1930 Ford Hotrod)  asked the guy on the microphone in the arena if there was a trophy for americans, he said if we have a spare one at the end of the prizegiving
       
        we will see what we can do !         GEE   THANKS  MISTER !!!!!
