University Motors Ltd (specifically John and Brooks Twist) would like to thank everyone for their tremendous support throughout the past month. Without the constant influx of visitors, calls, cards and e-mails we would have been idle, something Caroline would have been upset with us about. Community, family, truely describes all MG owners and we have never felt more thought of then during these past few weeks. Thank you all for showing true love and spirit.
We are building a schedule for the year, with events already planned in the next 3 months. In February, the weekend of the 19th, we will be in Philidelphia for the 8th Annual British Motor Trade Association (BMTA) Convention and Tradeshow. If you are in the area, come check it out. All of the big names in the British Community will be there, with dozens of specialty shops and general service facilities being represented as well. It is THE place to put names and faces to your favorite magazines, suppliers and shops. All the information can be found on the BMTA website at
http://www.britcar.org/.
The following weekend, the 28th, you can find us at the Chicagoland Swap meet. This swap meet has been around for years and is a veritble treasure trove for all things British. Details at

Interested in learning how to tune your MG from one of the experts? John will be traveling the country this summer, partnering with shops across the US to offer two day seminars covering tuning, lubrication and electrics. These seminars are an excellent way to build your confidence in the shop, learn more about your favorite LBC and of course, have some FUN! We have two seminars already scheduled, with spots in each filling up fast.
The first seminar will be hosted by Quality Coaches in Minneaplois, Minnisota on the 20th and 21st in March. Contact Val or Mark at
