meetings

Our September meeting will be held on the 25th at our usual Studio City location.  The evening’s entertainment will include a once lost video entitled “Rally Round”.  This video comedy was made during the 18th Annual San Diego Double Day event in 1989 and was shot by Gayne and Doug Wimer with help from several other TCMG members. It depicts a “typical” navigational rally of the time and stars many long-time TCMG personalities, many who are still members today. See the exploits of Belland, Bundy, Chalmers, Coleman, Crandall, Lutz, Roth, Schnaer, Simon, Wilmer and Wimer as they compete to win in this totally oddball production recently re-discovered and digitized by Allan Chalmers.  Also included are lots of outtakes and behind the scenes footage that are just as entertaining as the video itself!

August Recap: 19 members and guests were present for our August meeting at the Simon museum.  Four TCs were present – Simmons, Edgar, Simon (Ron) and Simon (Dave). A huge thanks to all of the Simons for opening their museum, and to Dave for giving us a fun and fascinating celebrity history on the various cars in the collection.

It depicts a “typical” navigational rally of the time and stars many long-time TCMG personalities, many who are still members today. See the exploits of Belland, Bundy, Chalmers, Coleman, Crandall, Lutz, Roth, Schnaer, Simon, Wilmer and Wimer as they compete to win in this totally oddball production recently re-discovered and digitized by Allan Chalmers.  Also included are lots of outtakes and behind the scenes footage that are just as entertaining as the video itself!

August Recap: 19 members and guests were present for our August meeting at the Simon museum.  Four TCs were present – Simmons, Edgar, Simon (Ron) and Simon (Dave). A huge thanks to all of the Simons for opening their museum, and to Dave for giving us a fun and fascinating celebrity history on the various cars in the collection.

Our September driving event will take us on a multi-day adventure north along the Sierra Nevada Mountains, through Gold Country and across to Lake Tahoe for GoF West.  This all-M.G. event runs September 10-14.  See the official GoF West website for more details.  For caravan information contact Pete Thelander, who is leading the combined TCMG and VMG caravan of T-Cars.

See where gold was discovered, sample Julian’s famous apple pie, shop stores housed in historic buildings dating back to the 1870’s, hike and picnic amid oaks and pines, sample Julian’s famous apple pie, or ride down Main Street in a horse-drawn carriage.

Julian Double Day Event Announced For May

A weekend trip to Julian has been arranged for May 30 – June 1.  Make your hotel reservations by April 30 to ensure you get a room and the special discounted rate!  See the Calendar Page for more information.

2018 Conclave Dates Announced

Our annual conclave with Abingdon Rough Riders will take place October 12-14 at Narrow Gauge Inn in Fish Camp, near Yosemite. Our host hotel is now full but there are rooms available at our overflow location at “Best Western Yosemite Gateway Inn” in Oakhurst. Contact Allan Chalmers for further information.

 

meetings

After the hugely successful premiere of our “All Things New” program last year, we have decided to bring it back around for another go in 2018.  Join us on May 22, where 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!

Our participants so far include:

  • Curt Sorensen on his TC restoration
  • Steve Simmons on “various gizmos of historical interest”

Sign up by contacting Curt Sorensen to let him know you would like to participate!  Watch for a flyer in the mail with further details.  Contact Steve Simmons or Curt Sorensen with any questions or special needs.

April Recap: 27 members plus 1 guest were present for our April meeting.  Three TCs driven by Loe, Simmons and Einhorn were parked outside.  Special thanks go to Sandra Loe who gave a unique and interesting presentation!

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

 

events

Take a trip to the quaint mountain town of Julian, California, located in the beautiful Cuyamaca mountains of Northeastern San Diego County. Founded during the gold rush of the 1870’s, Julian has retained much of its old west charm and will be our home for two nights of TCs and camaraderie. See where gold was discovered, sample Julian’s famous apple pie, shop stores housed in historic buildings dating back to the 1870’s, hike and picnic amid oaks and pines, sample Julian’s famous apple pie, or ride down Main Street in a horse-drawn carriage. And did we mention the apple pie? 

We arrive on Wednesday afternoon and settle in for an “on your own” evening of dinner and shopping. Thursday’s activities will include a scenic drive to Borrego Springs for lunch, and a group dinner in Julian. Friday will feature a TC lineup and group photo before departing for home.  Don’t miss this special event, so book your room today!  (and have some pie)

Hotel reservations must be made by April 30 to guarantee a room.  For hotel reservation info, schedule of activities, etc, see the April newsletter or the flyer which will be showing up in your mailbox when we get closer to the event. For further information, contact Gorden Bundy, June Wennekamp, Richard Loe, or Sandra Loe

April Recap: 14 members and guests and four TCs took part in our Halfway House Brunch.  TCs were driven by Loe, Simmons, Einhorn and one guest.  See the upcoming newsletter for more details.

meetings

Our next meeting will be held on April 24 in Studio City. The evening’s program will be lead by TCMG member Sandra Loe, who will give a presentation on her hobby of modifying and re-purposing T-Shirts.  She gave this presentation at a recent GoF West event and it was received with great enthusiasm.  Now we will get to enjoy this interesting program for ourselves!

March Recap: 22 members plus one guest were present for our March meeting.  Two TCs driven by Loe and Simmons were parked outside.

Watch for a flyer in the mail with further information!

March Recap: Nine members and two TCs braved the stormy weather for a BBQ lunch and a visit to Andres Pico Adobe.  The TCs were driven by Loe and Simmons.  The rain cleared up several hours before the event, giving us a dry and pleasant afternoon.  See the upcoming newsletter for more details.

One Of Our Own Remembered
Bob & Annabel Goldstein

Annabel and Bob Goldstein

We were just informed of the passing of Annabel Goldstein.  She had been in fragile health for some time and passed on February 18th.  Annabel and her late husband Bob, who we lost in 2012, were very active members of TCMG for many years.

Services are being held at the same location as Bob’s:

Wednesday, February 21, 2018 at 1pm
Hillside Memorial Park and Mortuary
6001 W Centinela Ave., Los Angeles, CA 90045

New Regalia Item

We are pleased to offer these all new TCMG patches, for use on jackets, hats or anything else you can think of!  The high quality embroidery on these patches is far nicer than any we have offered in the past.  At 3.5″ in size, these patches are the perfect size for many applications.  See the regalia page for more information.

2018 Conclave Dates Announced

Our annual conclave with Abingdon Rough Riders will take place October 12-14 at Narrow Gauge Inn in Fish Camp, near Yosemite. Our host hotel is now full but there are rooms available at our overflow location at “Best Western Yosemite Gateway Inn” in Oakhurst. Contact Allan Chalmers for further information.

 

meetings

Our next meeting will be held on March 27 in Studio City. The evening’s program will be a video by TCMG member and MG guru Mike Goodman on T-Series fuel systems.  The video dates from 1986, produced by David Coleman and filmed by Doug Wimer, and covers all aspects of the fuel systems found in TCs including fuel tank fuel pump and carburetors.  Design and maintenance as well as various safety aspects will be discussed.

February Recap: 16 members plus one guest were present for our February meeting.  Two TCs braved the near freezing weather, driven by Loe and Simmons.  Special thanks to Mel Appell for his fascinating talk on the technology and experiences of ocean power cruising.

events

On Sunday, March 11 we visit Andres Pico Adobe, named for Pio Pico (Pico Blvd) built in 1834 and one of the oldest adobe structures in Los Angeles. For those who come hungry, we start our day with lunch at a nearby restaurant before caravanning to the Adobe. Once there, we’ll enjoy a private guided tour of the various structures on the grounds.

In addition to the adobe, we will see an original 1904 redwood structure from Isaac Lankershim’s (Lankershim Blvd) ranch, which used to cover half of the San Fernando Valley. Some of the original furnishings from the Lankershim Ranch offices are displayed, including an ornately-carved desk and a scale used to weigh the output from the Lankershim gold mine in California.

We will also explore a 1914 Southern Pacific Railroad flagman’s shanty which was used at the intersection of Maclay Street and the tracks in San Fernando until 1948. Today it showcases railroad memorabilia.

Meet at 11:30 AM for lunch at Bear Pit BBQ in Mission Hills, in business since the 1940’s.  The restaurant opens at 11:30 and is located at 10825 Sepulveda Blvd, Mission Hills, CA 91345. We depart for the Adobe, which is located just down the street, at 12:45 for our 1PM tour.

February Recap: Our first outing of the year, the 2018 Lame Duk Kup, saw two TCs make a showing driven by Loe and Simmons.  A ferocious battle was waged between the various teams with top honors going the the Simmons, who took home the coveted brass duck trophy.  See the upcoming newsletter for more details.

You won’t want to miss these thrilling highlights…

  • See exiting destinations including Alaska and the Gallapegos Islands!
  • Watch Mel squeeze himself into areas of the boat smaller than his waistline!
  • Learn what it takes to endure these adventures, and why it’s a bad idea to leave unprepared!

January Recap: 24 members plus one guest were present for our January meeting.  Special thanks to Gene Olson for hosting another great game night.  The women’s team, still reeling from last years’s upset, took back their crown by once again defeating the men.

Iron Bottom Awarded for 2017

At our next monthly meeting on January 23, the crowd favorite returns with your award-winning (through cheating) host, Gene Olson!  Teams will compete for fabulous prizes (or not) by spinning the wheel and answering trivia questions.  Look for the TC in the parking lot with one wheel missing and you’ll know you’re in the right place!

December Recap: 45 members and guests enjoyed our Annual Meeting and Holiday Party.  Thank you to all the volunteers who helped put together another memorable evening!
