After 59 years, New Meeting Location Announced

TC Motoring Guild has held its monthly meetings in the same room for the past 59 years.  Sadly, the building has been sold and our last meeting at this location was held on March 28.  An exhausting search was conducted for a new location that is centrally located to the majority of our active members and caters to our needs.  The chosen location is in Studio City.  Information about this new location can be found by clicking the “About TCMG” tab at the top of the screen and selecting “Monthly Meetings”.  Be sure to attend our first meeting at our new home, and bring a TC if you can!

Big Bear Weekend Event Announced for May

58 Years after our last weekend outing to Big Bear, TC Motoring Guild returns to this beautiful lake for a fun-filled 3-day adventure!  Book your room early for best availability.  See the Calendar Page for more details.

Regalia Clearance

Certain TCMG T-Shirts are currently being offered at discounted prices.  See the Regalia Page for details.

Member Video

TCMG member Charlie Williams of Redding, California made this wonderful video of his local area.  We hope this virtual tour with Charlie and TC6126 will inspire you to fire up your own TC and take a similar day trip!

Charlie writes: “I read with envy in each TC Motoring Guild issue about the neat rides those of you in Southern Ca enjoy together and it got me thinking.  Perhaps there is a way I could share one of my drives with all of you.  So, last Sunday I attached some of my video equipment to the car and set off on one of my jaunts.  Hope you enjoy the ride.”

Poppy Tour Video

TCMG member Jim Crandall just sent this video he created of our recent tour to the California Poppy fields in Lancaster.  Although Jim didn’t have his TC with him on this event, he was able to capture the fun through his video camera, and included some still shots as well as a brief shot from the cockpit of the Simmons TC on a dirt track through the desert.

meetings

April 25th is a big night for TC Motoring Guild!  We have several items planned for the night including:

NEW MEETING LOCATION:  On this very special night, TC Motoring Guild members will gather at our new home for the first time in 59 years!  Please be a part of this special night and if possible bring your TC!  Our new hosts are excited to have us so lets give them a real show of classic iron.  For directions and information on our new meeting room, click here.

PREVIEW MIKE SHERRELL’S NEW BOOK:  Steve Simmons will be bringing an advance copy of the long-anticipated sequel to “TC’s Forever!” (the bible of TC ownership) entitled “TC’s Forever More!”.  This book, set for official release in May, is an essential piece of literature for the true TC enthusiast.  This is your chance to view the book early and see why you need to order one!

ALL THINGS NEW: For our main program, members are encouraged to bring stories, items for show and tell or anything “new”.  This can include projects on your TC or other items of interest but they do not have to be car-related.  Vacation stories, birthdays or your fancy new hat would also suffice!  See what your fellow club members are up to with their TCs, and lives in general.  This is a great chance to learn something new and catch up with old friends!

Watch for a flyer in the mail with further details.  Contact Steve Simmons or Curt Sorensen with any questions or special needs.

March Recap: The last meeting in the Montrose location was held on March 28.  A large group turned out to say goodbye to our home of 59 years, including two TCs driven by Simmons and Loe.
