The weather played tricks on us this time. The initial Saturday date was cancelled due to forecast rain that never showed, leaving us with a Sunday date that also looked kind of lousy, but actually turned out just fine. We had a nice group of MG's, Morgans and Minis at Faneuil Hall / Quincy Market under gray skies that yielded no rain. Check out the photo gallery here and another one from Kurt Steele here.

We had a great day. While the weather started out grey and damp, it did not deter 11 hearty souls from coming out and taking a beautiful, scenic ride up the coast to Brit Bits in Rye, NH. The people that went were...
Once up at the shop, we had a chance to tour the facilities, pick up some parts and everyone took advantage of the opportunity to have their car put up on the lifts and inspected by one of the mechanics. By the time all the cars were looked at and lunch had arrived, the sun came out and the weather turned decidedly warm....a great finish to our visit.
Our thanks to all the folks at Brit Bits for hosting us and a BIG thanks to Dave Swartz for organizing our visit and the ride.

Dyno Day
August 4, 2007
Dyno Day 2007 was another great success. What is it? A dyno is a
rolling road you put your car on. A computer attached to the dyno
will calculate the horsepower and torque of your car, as well as
tailpipe air/fuel ratio to aid you or your mechanic in tuning your
motor to its full potential. This is not only for high performance
cars, but daily drivers as well.

place for best MG at the show.
Collings Foundation
10 BAMG members met up with the Baystate MGA club at the Lexington
Common and then proceeded on a great back road drive to the
Collings Foundation
in Stow, MA. This collection of cars and planes was absolutely

Owls Head Transportation Museum 2003
Owls Head, ME
The New England MG Car Club hosted a Fall Foliage Tour which was a
great drive along some perfect back roads of Maine. Everyone on
the tour had family two way radios which allowed for some great
interplay along the way. An informal reception which offered wine,
cheese and phenomenal fruit along with some great conversation was
followed by several from the group gathering for dinner at a local
hot spot. The show itself was at the
Owls Head Transportation Museum.
The museum itself is worth the drive, but for the show they also had
several of the vintage planes out and flying. The photo above on
the right was one photo we couldn't pass up... The sign reads
Hussey's General Store - Guns, Wedding Gown, Cold Beer.
British Invasion
Stowe, VT 2003
Many BAMG members braved the hurricane and made the journey to Stowe,
VT for the 2003 British Invasion. Of course a celebratory dinner
shown above had to be held to mark the occasion. At least six
club cars and several more members made it to Stowe this year and
were thankful the rain ended (for the most part) for the show.
Those in attendance were Michael Crawford, Michael, Michelle and
Kyle Nadeau, Barbara Day, Eric and Ronellen Gagnon, Denise Thorpe,
Doug and Janice LeBlanc, Steve McKay and family (who walked away with
several awards), and Gene Ware.
Prince Edward Island 2003
Canada
The show this year was another great success with about 180 cars.
They definitely know how to make you feel welcome. They start
off with a great informal reception party, have a wash and shine the
morning of the show to remove that great PEI dust, the show, the
awards dinner, and the drive across PEI escorted by local police
officers who blocked every intersection to allow the 50+ car caravan
to proceed uninterrupted. The drive there may be a little long but
they make it worth the trip.
Strawberry Bank 2003
Portsmouth, NH
The British Cars of New England - Show of Dreams was held at
Strawberry Bank which is located in downtown Historic Portsmouth
which was a wonderful location for a show. Many of our members met
up at the rest area on Rt. 95 and headed to this show together led by
Michael Burgess (not shown above). Paul Seeberg received a third
place award and Barbara Day received a diamond in the rough award.
Coastal Drive 2003
This year our drive couldn't have planned on a more perfect day.
Sunday May 18th was warm and sunny for the 12+ cars that attended
our first event of the year. Everyone seemed eager to get the
cars out of moth balls and back on the road. The drive along the
coast was as beautiful as ever and it was extra fun getting all the
admiring looks as we drove down Hampton Beach. Sam at Brits Bits
opened special for us thanks to the special assistance provided by
his daughter (shown below with Kyle Nadeau - is this the beginning of
a great relationship?)
BAMG Holiday 2002
The first Annual Boston Area MG Club Holiday was a great success.
Dozens of gifts were donated by club members to benefit the Salem
Harbor House Children. Almost 30 club members and guests were in
attendance and enjoyed great food, great conversation, really had to
put their British thinking caps on for Doug's quiz.
British Invasion 2002
Stowe, VT
September 21, 2002
The forecast rain held off and another great show was
held in Stowe. Every year the number of amazing cars just seems
to be increasing and this year was no exception. Six club cars
made it to the show (Joe and Janice did not register) and Steve came
as a spectator in a Miata.
Castle Hill
Ipswich, MA
September 22, 2002
There were close to 1000 classic cars in addition to the
invitation only Concours D'elegance cars at the top of the hill at
Castle Hill. The cars ranged from Model A's to Porsche 356's to a
dozen Aston Martins... definitely something for everyone. A
Porsche club had over 25 cars in attendance. We had 2.

BAMG members made it to the show along with some other fine cars who
enjoyed the beautiful day at the Portland Head Light in Maine.

members (and several new members) along with representatives from
several other marques including Triumph, Rover, and Austin Healey
all braved the 100 degree heat.
PEI 2002
This year was another fantastic show at Prince Edward Island, Canada.
Three cars from the club made the trip this year - Kim and Winnie
Myers in their 1958 MG Magnette, Barbara Day in her 1953 MG TD, and
Eric and Ronellen Gagnon in their 1970 MGB GT.
Merrimac Valley Rally 2002
The first annual BAMG Merrimac Valley Rally was held on June 23,
2002. Although the weather looked threatening, the showers held
off until the rally was over. Dave Kalloch and Doug Snook took
first place with a perfect score. Our new member John McDonald
braved weather and the drive from Cambridge and took second place.
Mike Nadeau took third without a navigator! Could this be due to
his local knowledge of the area? Denise Thorpe actually tied for
third, but the tie breaker was the actual mileage and Denise lost out
due to a non-working odometer. Steve Devine managed to find a few
new streets that even the rally masters didn't even know about.
British Cars by the Sea 2002
Waterford, CT
Coastal Drive 2002
"The Braving the Elements Tour"
Our first official drive of the year took place on May 18th...yes one
might think mid-May would mean a nice spring day for a drive. Mother
Nature decided one more day of snow was called for. We saw it all
that day, rain, hail, and snow. A few brave souls (two MG's, a
Porsche, two Toyotas and a Chevy) headed out that day for a three
hour tour. The weather started getting rough, the tiny cars were
tossed, if not for the courage of the fearless group the spirit would
be lost...(Sorry got carried away)
McLean's Brits Bits was the first stop on our tour which afforded us
a chance to warm up and then we all headed off to The Cape Neddick
Light House. If we thought we were crazy going out in weather like
that, we were not alone, there was actually a wedding that was taking
place at the light house while we were there. We ended our grand
voyage with some fantastic burgers on Rt. 1 in York, ME.
