I'll add a few words about my desire to talk to Peter Eagan during the
event. Some time back he wrote in one of his R &T articles about his
experience owning a MG-TC. I loved that article and wanted to share my
experience owning a '48 MG-TC. Well it did not work out and I did not
get the opportunity to meet him.
In the spring of 1954 a friend and fellow member of the Bitburg,
Germany, Sports Car Club said that there was an MG-TC that he knew about
that had been left by a officer when he was hastily sent back to the
states and discharged. He thought that it could be available at a very
reasonable cost. Bottom line, the car was sitting behind the Officers
BOQ, with the top down and full of snow. So, I acquired my first
sports car. If you never have driven a TC, you need to have had that
experience. I'll go no deeper but wish it had worked to have the
opportunity to compare notes with Peter. I am very sorry to hear that
he will not longer be writing his article. I was telling Joe Alexander
that is the reason I still get R & T.
