the adventure begin.

The block, pistons and crankshaft have been McKinney
dropped off at USA Motor and Machine in
Nashville for cleaning and measurements. In the 1977 MGB
meantime, I've been working on cleaning up the Michael " Sparky"
new head and any parts that need restoration. Anderson
It?s been 40 years since I rebuilt the engine in my 1973 MGB GT
'68 Cougar, so wish me luck! See the story later in Tye & Marilyn Trussell

What about Cars and Coffee? you are probably wondering since the weather
is improving. Having lost the permanent location at the theatre parking lot,
we'll l be announcing a different location each month for Cars and Coffee until
we find a new , permanent, location. Initial ideas are to use the Cool Springs
Galleria Mall parking lot, and the parking area by the Brentwood Chik-filet on
Franklin Road. Stay tuned for exact locations.

Club Dinners: If you'd like to volunt eer t o host t he next dinner, which
would be in March, please let me know at NashvilleBritishCarClub@gmail.com.
All a host needs to do is find a venue where the food is good and the owners
are happy to host a large group, pick a date , let me know and we'll advertise it.
Our January dinner was a Burns Supper held at the Celtic Cup in Tullahoma and
it was a great evening. We have some pictures of it in this issue.
We can do club dinners all year round, in cold weather and in better weather.
The monthly dinners are a great way to meet club members while enjoying the
hospitality that makes NBCC a great club to join. ( This is a reminder that it's
time to renew your membership, dues are still only $20 if paid by check.) Let?s
keep it going! NBCC Officer-at -Large
