Welcome to the group Avin & Lorayne. Unfortunately a number of people

are like yourselves, and felt that there was little support for owners

of the older car, as the post-war cars seem to predominate in club

matters. However, With Paul starting this forum, it has been a centre

of focus and mutual help for people of like minds. Good luck with your

Hudson, and I hope you can get it running again before too long. there

is also an Essex Super Six and a Hudson 8 group to cater for those

interests. These complement the wider work of the H.E.T. club in

general, and I would encourage you to re-join the club, as it needs

owners of all types of Hudson to make their voices heard. with a

worldwide membership it is hard to cater for eveyone's needs and

desires, and the club went through a few crises, but seem to have

consolidated, and with the current editor of the W.T.N., Sam Jackson,

doing a fine job, things are on the up and up.
