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 Zoom on February 27th. The evening’s program will involve our members sharing their three favorite MG related items. Choose up to three things that aren’t bolted to your car. It could be the first MG key chain you ever got, a perfect condition period shop manual, a first edition “The Red Car”, the cross flow head you bought, installed, then realized it was porous and removed it, the T shirt from your first GOF, a copy of the speeding ticket you got in your TC (an exceedingly rare item), MG models, literature, etc. Items don’t have to be MG-centric, but should be related, like Lucas, SU, etc.

If you have photos to show and aren’t familiar with screen sharing on Zoom, send your photos to Joyce Edgar by February 26th and she will display them for you at the meeting.

Note that anyone making a simulated journey to the meeting in a TC by driving a minimum of 10 miles on the day of the meeting will receive a point toward the Sargent Award.

January recap: 30 members attended our January meeting on Zoom.  Seven TCs were driven a simulated 10 miles by Edgar, Lemieux, M. Simmons, S. Simmons, Sorensen, Thelander and Zucca.

TCMG Wins the Monterey Cup at GoF West Again!

For the second year in a row, TCMG brought home the Monterey Cup from GoF West. The cup is awarded to the single club with the most members in attendance that year. Congratulations to all who attended the event! Also notable is the daughter and son-in-law of David & Joyce Edgar, who in the Edgar’s TC won the Al Moss Memorial High Point Trophy, the premiere award for the event!

Tight Competition for the Sargent Trophy!

The year is nearly over, and the battle for the Sargent Trophy has been fierce!  The top three competitors are separated by less than 2 points, and all three have had a perfect attendance thus far. Could this be the first time we’ve awarded three Iron Bottoms in a single year? Be at the Holiday Party on December 3rd to find out!

 

 

The 2023 TCMG Holiday Party will take place on Sunday, December 3. This year’s party will be a BBQ-style luncheon held at the home of Steve & Linda Simmons. Join us and enjoy the following entertainment and activities:

  • Frank Mason Award
  • Breakdown Award
  • Iron Bottom Awards
• Announcement of the 2024 TC Motoring Guild Executive Council.
• Live auction of select items including our annual tradition, auctioning of “The Brick”. This is a piece of the original Abingdon factory where our TCs were built. The wining bid takes the brick home for one year.
• Raffles where you can win fabulous prizes! Advance tickets sales available for those not attending in person. Those who drive a TC to the meeting and purchase raffle tickets will get one free additional raffle ticket with their purchase, as well as a point toward the Sargent Award simply for attending in a TC.
• Touring the Simmons’ collection of vintage cars.
• Slide show of 2023 TCMG tours plus a special screening of a video by TCMG member Daniel Harrison featuring our Lame Duk event.

TCMG Wins the Monterey Cup at GoF West Again!

For the second year in a row, TCMG brought home the Monterey Cup from GoF West. The cup is awarded to the single club with the most members in attendance that year. Congratulations to all who attended the event! Also notable is the daughter and son-in-law of David & Joyce Edgar, who in the Edgar’s TC won the Al Moss Memorial High Point Trophy, the premiere award for the event!

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.

Tight Competition for the Sargent Trophy!

The year is more than halfway over, and the battle for the Sargent Trophy has been fierce!  The top three competitors are separated by less than 2 points, and all three have had a perfect attendance thus far. Could this be the first time we’ve awarded three Iron Bottoms in a single year?

 

 

Our next meeting on November 28th will feature a presentation by Dean Caccavo, who will be speaking about his collection of British vehicles.  Learn about the history, restoration and modifications to some unusual cars you may not have heard of before.

This meeting will be held online beginning at 6PM, and members may join 15 minutes early for conversation and settling in. Members who drive their TC 10 or more miles on the day of the meeting will receive a point toward the Sargent Award.

October recap: 33 members and guests attended our October meeting. Six TCs were driven on a simulated journey to a virtual meeting by Edgar, Loe, Lemieux, S. Simmons, M. Simmons and Wilson. Special thanks to Tom Wilson for an amazing presentation on the Wartime efforts and surrounding time frames at the M.G. factory!

Monthly DIY Tours

The November DIY tour runs until the 26th. Our holiday party is coming up in just a few weeks, and the food is BBQ-themed, so your task for this tour is to get a Winter holiday and/or BBQ themed photo with your TC. As usual you don’t have to take things too literally, so be creative and most importantly have fun!

Drive at least 5 miles during your tour to receive a point toward the Sargent Award. Photos must be submitted to Joyce Edgar no later than November 26th to receive points and to be included in the Zoom meeting on the 28th.

This meeting will be held online beginning at 6PM, and members may join 15 minutes early for conversation and settling in. Members who drive their TC 10 or more miles on the day of the meeting will receive a point toward the Sargent Award.

Monthly DIY Tours

https://nationaltoday.com/september-holidays/

You can pick any holiday (they seem to use that term loosely) from the above link and base your photo(s) upon it.  Send your photo(s) along with a description and what holiday you chose to Joyce Edgar by September 21 for inclusion in our next Zoom meeting.

Drive at least 5 miles during your photo shoot and receive a point toward the Sargent Award.  Competition for this year’s award is tight, with three members also going for the Iron Bottom Award.  See: http://www.tcmotoringguild.org/history/sargentaward/

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.

Conclave is Coming!

The 67th Annual TCMG / ARR Conclave will be held October 1-3 in Paso Robles. Look for information on the Calendar Page as well as in upcoming newsletters and group email.

Tight Competition for the Sargent Trophy!

The year is now halfway over, and the battle for the Sargent Trophy has been fierce!  The top three competitors are separated by only 1.5 points, and all three have had a perfect attendance thus far. Could this be the first time we’ve awarded three Iron Bottoms in a single year?

History Project Underway

Boxes of historical documents and artifacts dating back to the 1950’s and not seen in many years have recently been unearthed from the archives. A project to sort and preserves these items is currently underway by club historian Steve Simmons with assistance by Rob Zucca. Look to future newsletters for interesting discoveries as the project develops.

 

Our August Zoom meeting will be held on Tuesday the 22nd. The program for the evening will be “Project Updates & TC Adventures” by TCMG members.  Those wishing to participate should inform Joyce Edgar and either send her your photos or be prepared to share them yourself. Have a repair or restoration project underway? Gone on a great drive recently? Let us know about it!

The meeting starts at 6:00 PM (Pacific). Members may join 15 minutes early.

Note that anyone making a simulated journey to the meeting in a TC by driving a minimum of 10 miles on the day of the meeting will receive a point toward the Sargent Award.

July recap: 28 members and guests attended our July online meeting. Five TCs were driven a simulated 10 miles to the meeting  by Edgar, Lemieux, Loe, S. Simmons and Buckeridge. Thanks to member Kregg Hunsberger for an in-depth presentation on the restoration of his TC Special.

TC Motoring Guild loses two members

Ed Pohle: Allan Chalmers has just informed us that Ed Pohle recently passed. He and Karen (who passed in 2019) were members for over 22 years and members of ARR for much longer. They lived in Squaw Valley for a number of years and then moved to Auburn just a few years ago. His TC was one of the best – he won first in class twice at Pebble Beach in 1966 and 1967. Ed and Karen will both be missed.

Mark Acosta: The Acostas are recent members but have made a big impression on our group. Mark’s outgoing and friendly attitude along with his enthusiasm for old cars made him a perfect fit within our band of TC lovers. His passing was sudden and too soon, but we are grateful to have known him for the time he was with us. Our thoughts and prayers are with Deb and the rest of Mark’s family. Services will be held on March 25th in Fresno, CA.

TC Motoring Guild loses its earliest member, Joe Douglass

It’s with a heavy heart that we bring you the news of Joe Douglass’ passing at the age of 103. Most of us knew Joe personally, or at least heard about him from others. He purchased his 1949 MG TC brand new from the showroom floor and it still sits in his garage, complete with its original albeit weathered Clipper Blue paint. Joe came to our group in 1959 and was a tremendous personality within TC Motoring Guild, having served as President, Vice President, Secretary, Treasurer and Director, plus Membership and Events Chairs. He led countless tours, most famously our annual wildflower tour in Antelope Valley. He loved TCs and freely shared his wisdom on their mechanical peculiarities with anyone who would listen.

Joe loved his vintage motorcycles as well, and in addition to the TC he also drove an MGB GT and a VW bug. His charm and wit were things of legend, and his kindness was infectious. He loved the outdoors, which is something that seems to go hand in hand with the MG TC. The world needs more Joe Douglass’, and we will miss him dearly.

 

Our next monthly meeting will be held on April 25 on Zoom.  The evening’s program will be a collection of photos and stories from our members called “Things I wish the previous owner hadn’t done”.  If you have a stories to share, send them to Mike Simmons.

The meeting starts at 6:00 PM (Pacific). Members may join 15 minutes early.

Note that anyone making a simulated journey to the meeting in a TC by driving a minimum of 10 miles on the day of the meeting will receive a point toward the Sargent Award.

March recap: 23 members attended our February meeting on Zoom. Four TCs were driven a simulated journey of at least ten miles by Edgar, Lemieux, Loe and Steve Simmons. Thanks to Charley Williams for his presentation on his documentary about the Shasta Ski area.  You can now view the video here.

The earliest known M.G. advertisement was reportedly seen on March 2, 1923 – exactly 100 years ago this month. To celebrate the 100th anniversary of the M.G. brand, our “Do It Yourself Tour” for the month of March will involve driving your TC on a journey to find or achieve something relating to 100. Take a photo with your TC showing what you found. Examples:

• An object approximately 100 years old
• The number 100 displayed somewhere
• 100 of something (count carefully!)
• A 100 mile drive (let’s see that trip meter say 100!)
• Driving your TC 100 MPH (good luck with that)

To receive a point toward the 2023 Sargent Award, you must drive at least 10 miles during your journey to capture a photo. Submit your photo(s) to Joyce Edgar by March 25th.

As always we are seeking photos for the Members Gallery showing you and your TC. We also welcome member biographies so your fellow TCMG’ers can learn a bit about you, your history with your TC or anything else you care to write about. Historic photos and stories are also being sought to expand our TCMG History section on the site. Please send what you have to Steve Simmons.
