MG TD TF 1500 - MG2016 Report

I had a BLAST at MG2016 in Louisville last week. I met some BBS members so now I can put faces to names.

I understand that this year had lower attendence than some earlier all MG meets. It's hard comprehend that there could have ever been more. This year over 800 MGs from all over North America and beyond were on display at the Thursday car show. The Awards Banquet was sold out at 1,000 people.

Seminars were beyond my wildest expectations. I took in all that I could possibly attend, so I didn't leave the hotel to participate in scenic drives and group excursions to Corvette, Churchill Downs, Bourbon Trail, etc

Cars were beautiful. Some very low production models ... even a one-of-one model. Plus, some rough daily-drivers stole my heart.

My thanks to the organizers - unbelievable cooridination. I am trying to incorporate some of your ideas into GoF-South 2018, of which I am chairman.

My only regret ... I flew to the event instead of fully participating by driving my TF.

We also attended. Had a great time. I discovered that John Twist is not just a You Tube diva. He spent hours diagnosing and correcting various problems on attendees cars. I wish I had his energy getting down on the ground continually to check timing marks. Horst Schach gave an excellent presentation on the TD body work. I'm sure the other tech meetings were excellent as well. The Corvette museum and factory and Churchill Downs were great visits. All in in all a very well run and enjoyable event.

Hi Lonnie
It was nice to put a face to a fellow BBS guy. We also had a great time. Here is a photo from the MMM group at the show. It is our first place 33 J2. Hope to see more of the BBS guys in Ohio next year.

We got to meet Len Fanelli and his lovely wife in a rest area outside of Frankfort on the way down and enjoyed watching his TD disappear in the distance as we cruised at 65 mph! I concur with all that everyone has already said about this great event and want to thank everyone who voted my grey TF-1500 as the top scorer in the TF class. There were many stunning cars on the showfield and I was stunned to win. Thank you!

Wow. I can't beleive 800 MG's and a 1000 people capped at the banquet. That's amazing. Strong support for the mark and a testament to the longevity of MG and their cars.
