It was our second time participating in this very cool outing. The weather was great and the event, people -- and of course refreshments in Jim Thorpe after the run were right up there as well!
While the classic Mini lost a front wheel (no injuries, thankfully...and a roadside repair) and one of the Volvos lost an exhaust hanger, there were no other mechanical issues during the run (that I know of)!
Several members from the Keystone Region MG Club and the British Car Club of The Lehigh Valley participated in the run this year and rounded out the field of TWENTY vehicles.
To top it off, we even ran into a couple of other KRMGC club members in Jim Thorpe and had dinner with them. Good day! If you've never done it, I'd highly encourage you to consider it next year!

Spitfire Painted Spitfire
Absolutely the BEST paint scheme for a Triumph Spitfire...painted like an RAF Spitfire fighter from WWII. Brilliant! (Captured at the Lord Of The Manor British Car Show in Pocono Manor PA 2009)
MGB Anti-Gravity Lift
The Anti-Gravity LBC Lift...The easiest way to work under your MGB if you don't have room in your garage for a traditional lift. (Patent Pending)

The participants literally in the corral at the Allen's place. More horsepower than usually in the corral, but not by much!
Voted official mascot of the Allen MG run and brunch...Bob and Penny Pilat's new addition Vixie. She rode along. I think she may have even driven a bit. :)
