There was a fellow in Warwick a little less than 10 years ago who
was going to set up a business to rent MGB's, as this was near the
time of the start of my honeymoon to ol' Blighty, I wrote him to
arrange for a rental, he wrote back saying it was extremely
expensive to get insurance, so expensive that no one would rent the
cars and that he had dropped the idea. So I was stuck (and I do
mean stuck) with a Metro. Great idea, though.
As far as help on the road, the BMW Car Club of America (BMW CCA)
publishes a glovebox-sized book called "Friends of BMW", which has
names/phone numbers of those who volunteer to be listed, as help
for wayward Bimmers, either tools, garage space, moral support,
whatever. And, if you volunteer, you get the book for free. Do any
of the national clubs offer anything like this? i.e. AMGBA, AMGBR,
VTR, JCNA etc.
Interesting thread on local clubs, always wondered if there would
be any interest in a British car club in the Merrimac Valley region
of MA/NH. There isn't anything formal that I know of, although I
see quite a few LBC's in my neighborhood. Any interest?
