Delayed by a Day

Hi here we are again, made my way to New York but did not stay in the Big Apple spent the night just north in Newburgh then on tuesday drove through Connecticut and in to Massachusetts and a little town called Northampton.
I was then going to go up into Vermont on thursday but I was held up by having to do some running repairs as the guy in the next room to me backed into the TF dislodging the bumper and knocking off big bits of paint, But I found a local body shop that did a great job putting the bumper back to near ware it should be and I then went to a auto parts store and got a rattle can and some masking tape and hay presto, well it looks a bit more presentable no big bits of Blue showing though the Silver making it look like it had the lurgy.
Got to Hemmings in Bennington on friday as planed ready for the show on saturday, and WOW what a welcome before I had a chance to get out of the car half a dozen guys came out of the office and swarmed around the car asking questions and taking photos from every angle.
Found a British Fish & Chip shop for supper Yummy,
more entry's to follow as I get a minuet or two.
ps/ Look in photos sets.

Heres # 3

Hi all, been a busy couple of days, got to Winston-Salem on Thursday and met up with the guys from the North Carolina MG clubs at Hooters for some food, then on Friday picked up PJ from the local club and drove over to Durham to go to Flying Circus British car workshop, big selection of British cars being worked on great visit, and then on the way back to Winston we stopped at Hendricks Wire Wheels and had a bit of a shock when I walked into the shop he had
about seven AH 3000's being worked on.
Saturday PJ drove his B GT 3.4 V6 to meet me at my hotel and we then drove over to Blowing Rock to visit Jack Austin, after he had a good look around the TF we all drove on to the Blue Ridge Parkway and drove about 65 mile north to get some real Southern Fried Chicken, Yum Yum.
After lunch they went back south and I traveled north on the Blue Ridge to Roanoke for the night and I will be back on the Ridge tomorrow going to the top and then onto the Skyline Parkway on my way to the Big Apple for a couple of days.
The trip is living up to expectations and more so far, Great scenery, Great people, Great roads.
