Hemmings Motor News is refurbishing an MG that was donated to Good News Garage. They are going to have the car at the show so if you have been following its restoration in the pages of their magazine you might want to come and check it out.

I will be there on Saturday, stop by the booth and say "hello!". If you mention this blog I will give you a free gift.

Tikki Barber, Alicia Ybarbo and Hal Colston

Tikki Barber, former NFL star, was sent to Good News Garage to interview our founder Hal Colston for the Today Show. Tikki is a genuinely warm-nice-upbeat person.

Alicia Ybarbo (NBC Producer) kept the day moving and everyone smiling, even after 5 hours of shooting.

The show will air in April. I will post once I know the date.
