MG Day 2000 was held on June 25 at the Museum of Transportation. There seemed to be fewer cars than in the past two years, maybe because the weather forecasts kept changing. It turned out to be a pretty nice day, if you don't mind hot and humid weather.

My car was actually fairly clean this year. I spent the week before the show polishing and waxing (not the entire week, but a few minutes here and there between child care activities), so at least the outside looked nice. The new carbs were working, although they really need to be tuned properly. Debbie, Claire and Ben met me at the show, and Claire had a great time looking at some of the cars and twirling around. It seemed like a risk proposal to take her around to look at the cars with me, as she doesn't understand that most owners don't want her to rub her hands on their car, so I waited until hey went home for naps before taking pictures.

So here's my car at another MG Day
It looks almost as shiny (but not as interesting) a the car next to it:
A 1979 MGB with a V8 conversion named "The Beast" was parked next to my car for the second year in a row. Guess who drew more attention?
This is the engine compartment of a 1966 MGB. It won first place in its category. I voted for it.
Another view of the engine compartment.
This 1969 MGB came in second:

This is a 1961 MGA Twin Cam
It had a very interesting engine:
There were a number of MGAs at the show.
A 1951 MG TD
A MG TF, not sure of the year
This is the engine bay of a 1979 MGB, third place winner in its class:

This 1975 MGB came in third in its class - nice wheels, and I like the black side trim:
Here is the engine compartment (he opened it for me after the votes were already in):
Same engine, different angle:
