MG2012 Dillard Events

Today, Day 4, Thursday, June 7, is another bright and beautiful day.  We had breakfast at the hospitality house.  Said hi to lots of fellow MGer's.

Registration and Welcome to MG2012

Then we (Jenn, Ron, Pat, Gracie) drove Jenn's car on Tour #3 of the self-guided driving tours to Lake Rabun.  Great MG road. 

After lunch, Gracie went horseback riding with Kimi.

Also, after lunch, and best of all, we met an MG owner who lives in the same town at Jenn.  Wow!  How wonderful for Jenn to have an MG group locally.


This is one of the main events for the MG owners.  Quality time was spent with their MG, tweaking, polishing, washing - all to make the car shine!  And shine they do.

There was also major repair work going on.  Here is Ron and a team of other owners fixing Dick's car.  They are installing a new starter.  Didn't take too much time with all the help available. 

That's Ron under the car.

Then we went to a tech session to hear Peter Thornley talk about the 50 year history of the MGB.  Ron purchased Peter's book about his father John Thornley and the MG Car Company.

Ron spent part of the afternoon as a teacher.  He taught granddaughter Gracie (age 11) to drive the MGB.  She did fine - at least she did not hit anything or anyone.  Watching this was a 15 yr old boy who was interested in driving the MGB.  So Jacoby was next to get a lesson.

The evening activity was the drive in movie at Tiger, GA.  We saw Men In Black 3.  A good time was had by all.  100 MGs attended the drive-in on Thursday.
