> The last ride of the season was always from Manchester NH to

> Vermont. Route 101 between those two towns hasn't been ruined like 101

> mountains. Tight two lane tree covered roads open up into vistas
> of the New
> Hampshire Mountains. The ride was always in October... The air
> at 7am was
> crisp and wet as we buzzed through Peterborough and Dublin NH
> past the giant
> stone arch bridge, or the multicolored autumn mountains. Our
> destination was
> always the same: The Westminster MG Museum Fall Fraternity Tour
> Car Show.
> On the damp lawns of the Museum, freshly mowed, hundreds of Ts
> A's B's TR's
> and AH's. The local Rotary Club is selling coffee, apple pie
> with cheddar (a
> Vermont thing, don't ask!) and grilling hamburgers by 10am. The

> swiveling vents in the bonnet sides, like the SA. Rare Custom
> MGs, like an
> Arnolt Coupe,and a Lester MG. MG M-type and J-type midgets... hillclimb
> specials... a PB Airline Coupe. Vintage Sales signs. Dozens of
> MGs, the
> rarest of the rare, squeezed into this little barn, and just
> dusted off for
> this day.
