Joe has been an active member since 1957 and at different times has held every position on the club council. He has been an instrumental part of the club’s success all these years and a major contributor our members’ enjoyment their TCs through maintenance clinics, mechanical advice and the many tours he organized and led. Come celebrate with us on June 28th in Burbank! See below for further details.

Cliff Lemieux Completes Restoration
On the evening of May 28, our members discovered a new TC parked in front of our meeting room. It was the freshly restored TC of Cliff Lemieux out for its first TCMG gathering. Cliff and friend / mechanic Bob drove the TC 100 miles round trip entirely on side roads to attend. Well done Cliff and Bob!
Our next monthly meeting will be held on July 23 at the usual Studio City location. Our presenter for the evening is TCMG member Cliff Lemieux, who will be giving us a presentation on the restoration of his long-owned TC 6373.
Learn the trials and pitfalls of restoration, and why Cliff says you should never take your car apart!
