Hi, I am George Dodson and I live in Oak Ridge TN. I have owned 3 MGAs, 4 MGBs, a TR4, a TR7, an XKE and more recently a Caterham Super 7 along with a Ferrari 308 GTSi and a Ducati ST3, Currently I own a 71 TR6. I am a semi-retired physicist. I have worked at Boston University (4 Years), MIT (21 Years), and am retired from the DOE's Oak Ridge National Laboratory (21 Years). I am currently a Research Affiliate with the MIT Laboratory for Nuclear Science. I am Married and we have 2 English Setters. I do most of my own work, though I do not see or get under cars as well as I used to. This is the TR7, which is basically stock.

Hi, Neighbor! Welcome to BCF from Townsend, member of Blount British Car Club. Have we met already?

Mickey
 
If you can make it, our annual show is May 10 at the Talley Ho Inn, in Townsend.

Mickey,
We were at a previous British Car show there about 6 months ago. I fell in love with an XKE there, but the price was way too high. I thought that the TR6 would be one that I could maintain mostly by myself. I bought it thru BAT, but it was in much worse shape than the way it was represented.
 
Ouch! Well, that happens more often than we'd like, but there are plenty of folks in the area that can offer help and advice. Our next meeting is this coming Tuesday, Feb. 4, at Blount County Library in Maryville. Meet-n-greet at 6:00; meeting starts at 6:15. We often go out to eat afterwards. Come on and join us if you can; several members have TR6's.
 
Oak Ridge, great place! I've been there many times for NRC classes. I bet you're not wishing you had snow on roads down there. lol
