Jim was one of our longest term members. He joined in 1961 and along with his wife Norma was a vital part of our club since day one.

He and Norma were a driving force in many of the Guild’s activities, with Jim serving in various roles including President, Vice President, Treasurer, Director, Events Coordinator, Newsletter Editor and Webmaster. We will miss him dearly.

Stan Lucas Passes

We’re sad to report the passing of long time TCMG member Stan Lucas. Stan was the owner of Lucas Classic Tire and was a real force in the car collecting world. His collection was always kept very private but remains one of the premier collections on the west coast, especially his numerous rare early brass cars. There among Stutz, Noble, Packard, Bugatti and many others was his MG TC, displayed as proudly as the others. We would love to share photos of his collection but he never allowed them to be taken. Stan didn’t even use a computer, instead sending hand-written letters in reply after his employees read an email to him. If the reply was time sensitive, he would write the letter and his guys would scan and email it for him. He was a real gentleman and a true enthusiast. Stan was a TCMG member for 36 years.

The August meeting will be held August 26th on Zoom. Our program for the evening will be a British and M.G. quiz followed by member project updates.

TC Motoring Guild 1955 / 2025 Photo

TC Motoring Guild has just accomplished a painstakingly planned photo recreation of its first event 70 years ago! Two years in the planning, the group successfully located the original photo spot and returned the cars to Apple Valley Ridge in the Mojave Desert for a then & now photo. A video showing the journey from discovering the photo to recreating it has just been posted on YouTube!

Two of TC Motoring Guild’s Earliest Members Pass

Jim Crandall

Jim Crandall

Jim was one of our longest term members. He joined in 1961 and along with his wife Norma was a vital part of our club since day one. Looking through our old photos and newsletters, he and his wife Norma were always there, along with their TC which remains in the family today. He and Norma were a driving force in many of the Guild’s activities, with Jim serving in various roles including President, Vice President, Treasurer, Director, Events Coordinator, Newsletter Editor and Webmaster. We will miss him dearly.

Mike Goodman

Mike & Sharon Goodman

Mike was a legend in the M.G. community and probably kept more TCs on the road than anyone over the years. He joined TCMG in 1964 and over the decades never hesitated to offer assistance or advice to those in need. He served many roles in the club including Vice President, Treasurer, Programs Chair, Events Chair and Director, in addition to his unofficial role as “M.G. Guru and Free Advice Giver”. Mike and Sharon opened their home more than once for our holiday parties. The club will not be the same without Mike.

Stan Lucas Passes

We’re sad to report the passing of long time TCMG member Stan Lucas. Stan was the owner of Lucas Classic Tire and was a real force in the car collecting world. His collection was always kept very private but remains one of the premier collections on the west coast, especially his numerous rare early brass cars. There among Stutz, Noble, Packard, Bugatti and many others was his MG TC, displayed as proudly as the others. We would love to share photos of his collection but he never allowed them to be taken. Stan didn’t even use a computer, instead sending hand-written letters in reply after his employees read an email to him. If the reply was time sensitive, he would write the letter and his guys would scan and email it for him. He was a real gentleman and a true enthusiast. Stan was a TCMG member for 36 years.

The August meeting will be held August 26th on Zoom. Our program for the evening will be announced soon.

For more meeting and event information, visit the Calendar Page.

July Recap: 28 members and one guest attended our July meeting on Zoom. Five TCs drove a simulated 10 mile journey to the meeting. TCs were driven by Lemieux, Edgar, Lynge, Zucca and S Simmons. Thanks to Dean Caccavo for the presentation on the history of Paramount Ranch Raceway!

The July meeting will be held on Zoom. Our program for the evening will be a presentation by TCMG member Dean Caccavo on the history of Paramount Ranch Raceway. The track was located in Agoura Hills, California and was a popular destination for many of the great racers of the late 1950’s until several terrible accidents forced its closure. Parts of the track still remain today, winding through the Santa Monica Mountains. Dean will show before and after photos and talk about the interesting history behind the track, where such well known drivers as Phill Hill, Ken Miles and Johnny Von Neuman raced.

June recap: Five members with two TCs braved the heat for our Halfway House Tour. TCs were driven by SL Simmons and Rob Zucca.

Monthly DIY Tours

The Summer DIY event is on! With apologies to those North of the border (and especially to those in England), the theme of this event is Independence Day. In celebration of this holiday, your task is to photograph your TC in an all-American or other good old-fashioned patriotic type setting. The more over the top, the better!

For those outside of the USA, you can substitute the American theme for something representing your own country. Submit your photo to Mike Simmons at mike@mikesimmons.net by July 20th for inclusion in this month’s Zoom meeting.

Drive your TC at least 10 miles during your photo tour and receive a point toward the Sargent Award!

TC Motoring Guild 1955 / 2025 Photo

TC Motoring Guild has just accomplished a painstakingly planned photo recreation of its first event 70 years ago! Two years in the planning, the group successfully located the original photo spot and returned the cars to Apple Valley Ridge in the Mojave Desert for a then & now photo. A video showing the journey from discovering the photo to recreating it has just been posted on YouTube!

Two of TC Motoring Guild’s Earliest Members Pass

Jim Crandall

Jim Crandall

Jim was one of our longest term members. He joined in 1961 and along with his wife Norma was a vital part of our club since day one. Looking through our old photos and newsletters, he and his wife Norma were always there, along with their TC which remains in the family today. He and Norma were a driving force in many of the Guild’s activities, with Jim serving in various roles including President, Vice President, Treasurer, Director, Events Coordinator, Newsletter Editor and Webmaster. We will miss him dearly.

Mike Goodman

Mike & Sharon Goodman

Mike was a legend in the M.G. community and probably kept more TCs on the road than anyone over the years. He joined TCMG in 1964 and over the decades never hesitated to offer assistance or advice to those in need. He served many roles in the club including Vice President, Treasurer, Programs Chair, Events Chair and Director, in addition to his unofficial role as “M.G. Guru and Free Advice Giver”. Mike and Sharon opened their home more than once for our holiday parties. The club will not be the same without Mike.

Stan Lucas Passes

We’re sad to report the passing of long time TCMG member Stan Lucas. Stan was the owner of Lucas Classic Tire and was a real force in the car collecting world. His collection was always kept very private but remains one of the premier collections on the west coast, especially his numerous rare early brass cars. There among Stutz, Noble, Packard, Bugatti and many others was his MG TC, displayed as proudly as the others. We would love to share photos of his collection but he never allowed them to be taken. Stan didn’t even use a computer, instead sending hand-written letters in reply after his employees read an email to him. If the reply was time sensitive, he would write the letter and his guys would scan and email it for him. He was a real gentleman and a true enthusiast. Stan was a TCMG member for 36 years.

Our next monthly meeting will be held on May 27, on Zoom. Our evening’s presentation will be a talk by members Bob and Patrick Eicher, accompanied by photos and video on historic Clopper Road. Learn about how it inspired the song “Take Me Home Country Roads”, and about the old Clopper Grist Mill and other interesting locations from behind the wheel of their MG TC.

Those who drive their TC 10 miles or more on the day of the meeting will receive a point toward the Sargent Award.

April recap: 29 members attended our April meeting on Zoom. Three TCs were driven at least 10 miles that day by Caccavo, Edgar and Zucca.

For more meeting and event information, visit the Calendar Page.

Monthly Events

Our next driving event will be in May and is currently being planned. Check back soon…

April recap: Six TCs and 14 members attended our picnic at the Queen’s English Car Show in April. TCs were driven by Hughes, Simmons, Zucca, Ramos and Harrison. Other members were present with modern iron and a vintage Jaguar.

Monthly DIY Tours

The Spring DIY Tour is on! Since our annual Wildflower Tour was canceled, the theme for this tour is “Flowers”. Your task is to photograph your TC with something to do with flowers. It doesn’t have to be actual flowers, so get creative and have fun!

Submit your photo(s) to Mike Simmons by May 18th to be included in the May meeting slide show. Email address is in the club directory. Be sure to drive your TC at least 10 miles during your photo tour to receive a point toward the Sargent Award.

Monthly Events

The scheduled Wildflower Tour has been cancelled due to a lack of blooms. In its place we will picnic at the Queen’s English British Car Show. Bring a picnic lunch and enjoy one of the better British car shows in the area. It is a non-judged show, and includes an auto jumble nearby. The show is held at Woodley Park in Van Nuys, and runs from 8:30 AM to 3:30 PM. Club members are encouraged to gather in the MG T-Series section at 11AM for a picnic among the TCs. Bring your own, or buy food from the food truck vendors on site. (We can’t guarantee they will be there but they usually are!) See www.queens-english.org for more information.

March recap: Seven TCs and 14 members took part in our “Apple Valley 70 Years Later” event and posed in a photo recreation. Our thanks to those who helped make this happen, namely Steve Simmons of TCMG, Marcy Taylor of Mohahve Historical Society, Mayor Scott Nassif of Apple Valley and Councilman Art Bishop. Additional thanks to Rob Zucca, Linda Simmons, David Edgar and all those who attended or assisted with the event.

TC Motoring Guild Turns 70 Years Old

Although the group was loosely assembled back in 1952, TCMG was officially formed on June 19, 1954 in the offices of Road & Track magazine. Last June we celebrated 70 years of honoring the MG TC! Our annual Summer Picnic Meeting doubled as a birthday party commemorating our seventh decade as a one make, one model club. A large number of historical artifacts from our archives were on display in a special exhibit put together by Steve Simmons and Rob Zucca. See the August newsletter for photos of this meeting.

TC Provenance List Being Updated and Modernized by TCMG

The well known TC Provenance List was created by TC owner Bob Stein well over a decade ago.  Steve Simmons has assisted with data submissions and updates for the past few years but the list has grown too large to manage by hand.  TC Motoring Guild has jumped in to help update, modernize and maintain the list.  Two of our members, Mike Simmons and Steve Simmons are currently working to convert years of hand typed notes into a sorted and organized database of TC car numbers, owner names, locations and historical data.  The project will take a tremendous amount of man hours but the end result will be a fully modern and searchable database, hosted on the TCMG website.  You can see the old hand-typed Provenance List HERE until the new version is completed.

Our next monthly meeting will be held on February 25th on Zoom. Steve Simmons will give a slide presentation on some of the unusual places their TC has gone, culminating with a particular trip into the Sierra Nevada Mountains of California. No paved roads will be a part of this story! Learn how to risk getting stranded in the wilderness, and how to set off on a trip completely unprepared and in a vehicle unsuited for the terrain. This and other important life lessons will be discussed.

January recap: 27 members attended our January meeting. 3 TCs were driven a simulated journey to the meeting by Edgar, Lemieux and Zucca. Thanks to Dan Shockey for his presentation on MG and the RAF!

Although the group was loosely assembled back in 1952, TCMG was officially formed on June 19, 1954 in the offices of Road & Track magazine. Last June we celebrated 70 years of honoring the MG TC! Our annual Summer Picnic Meeting doubled as a birthday party commemorating our seventh decade as a one make, one model club. A large number of historical artifacts from our archives were on display in a special exhibit put together by Steve Simmons and Rob Zucca. See the August newsletter for photos of this meeting.

TC Provenance List Being Updated and Modernized by TCMG

The well known TC Provenance List was created by TC owner Bob Stein well over a decade ago.  Steve Simmons has assisted with data submissions and updates for the past few years but the list has grown too large to manage by hand.  TC Motoring Guild has jumped in to help update, modernize and maintain the list.  Two of our members, Mike Simmons and Steve Simmons are currently working to convert years of hand typed notes into a sorted and organized database of TC car numbers, owner names, locations and historical data.  The project will take a tremendous amount of man hours but the end result will be a fully modern and searchable database, hosted on the TCMG website.  You can see the old hand-typed Provenance List HERE until the new version is completed.

Our next monthly meeting will be held on February 25th on Zoom. Steve Simmons will give a slide presentation on some of the unusual places their TC has gone, culminating with a particular trip into the Sierra Nevada Mountains of California. No paved roads will be a part of this story! Learn how to risk getting stranded in the wilderness, and how to set off on a trip completely unprepared and in a vehicle unsuited for the terrain. This and other important life lessons will be discussed.

January recap: 27 members attended our January meeting. 3 TCs were driven a simulated journey to the meeting by Edgar, Lemieux and Zucca. Thanks to Dan Shockey for his presentation on MG and the RAF!

Monthly DIY Tours

Slip on a warm coat and head out for the TCMG Winter DIY Tour! To participate, your task is to photograph your TC (with or without you in it) with something that suggests “snow”. It doesn’t have to be actual snow, so for those living in the warmer climates you can use your creativity. Something that looks cold or Wintery might do, or perhaps the clever use of a sign or other object that suggests snow or Winter. Think outside the (ice)box!

Drive 10 or more miles during your photo tour to receive a point toward the 2025 Sargent Award. For those with actual snow on the roads, you only need to drive far enough for someone to do a double take at the lunatic driving a TC in the snow to receive points.

Submit your photo(s) to Joyce Edgar by January 15 to receive points and be included in our January meeting slide show.
