Jane and Brian Sonner

 
I would like to extend an open invitation to anyone who owns an MG or is interested in MGs to get in touch with me. We are a club filled with enthusiasts. Some of us own one, others own two, and others own MORE. We love to gather for social, mechanical and travel related events. Our website contains information about us as a club and details of planned events. The newsletter section of the website will provide interesting reading, tips on maintenance and profiles of our members. I encourage you to delve into the information contained there for a fuller view of the club, its activities and members.

I am a retired United States Coast Guard Captain. In my 30 year career I was able to live all over the world, including a three year tour in Great Britain. My Mini (one of the original ones, not the BMW type) carried us all over Europe and Britain. Aside from the Mini I have owned a 1962 Austin Healey 3000 and a 1974 1/2 MGB Roadster. My wife, Jane, and I currently own a 1970 MGB Roadster, a 1971 MGB Roadster and a 1979 MGB Roadster. The combined annual mileage on the three averages about 15,000 miles. Why drive anything else? We have learned that the more they are driven the better they run.

Jane and I are retired in Placerville. Our family includes four grown children, two boys and two girls. And we have a grandson who has already taken to the MGs. The first thing he does when he visits is demand to hop in the cars.

I am honored to be the President of the Sacramento Valley MG Car Club. Like the other members, my objective is to drive an MG, meet with like minded people and above all have fun. The “have fun” part takes precedence over all else. Please feel free to contact me directly at (530) 295-9406 or on my cell at (530) 748-9681 with any questions or comments you may have.
