CHAIRMAN’S CHAT Hi all. Summer is approaching and some are no doubt planning holidays and some brave folks may even consider a touring holiday in their classic. Pre planned trips from touring companies are very popular. They may take you sights you weren't expecting and can save headaches with the planning and accommodation. Alternatively making your own way and exploring on your own timetable maybe more your thing. Either way, heading off for a long trip to far off destinations is always a bit of an adventure, but in a vehicle that may be getting on for 60 years old takes the spirit of daring do to new level. You will of course need spares for the car……….. HT lead, condenser and points, some wire and crimps, fan belt, jubilee clips, fuel filter, maybe a spare fuel pump (there's a reason that rally cars have 2), oil (both engine and gearbox), water and brake fluid. Then some tools ……….. Imperial spanners, screw drivers, pliers, tyre inflator, jump leads. Then there is the paperwork……….. Passports, tickets of course but also you will need to consider breakdown cover, extra insurance, GHIC cards for you. Maybe a Crit’Aire sticker for going through France. You will need your route plan, road atlas for when you inevitably get lost and a phrase book. Only then, if there is any room left in the car, you can think about packing luggage and after planning all that you will deserve a holiday! Andrew
SECRETARIES’ SLOT Hi All It’s so good to be back to a normal, printed magazine. We think it’s the first time that we’ve had to miss an issue due to lack of content but hope that the email substitutes made up for it **. Pauline took a laptop all the way to Australia to prepare for the Feb/Mar issue but was able to spend extra time on the beach as there was nothing to prepare! Our thanks to those who have contributed to this magazine. All submissions are most welcome. If no-one sends in articles you may find you miss out on more magazines or find yourself reading Pauline’s recipes - she can’t cook so you have been warned . Dare we mention that the sun is shining? Time to look through our extensive Events List and start reserving some dates for going out in your MG. Don’t forget that the most up to date list can be found on our website. A booking form for the Brunel Run can be found in the centre of this magazine - ready for you to pull out and fill in! The event will, once again, be a day run starting at The Bridge Inn in Yatton, North Somerset where optional breakfasts/tea/coffee can be enjoyed. We know that some of you found our 2025 end venue a little restricted so are very pleased to tell you that Brunel 2026 will finish at Barton Camp where there is ample space to socialise and enjoy our afternoon cream tea all together! The dining room at Barton is spacious and airy with extensive views to enjoy. [Weather (and Bert) permitting, we may even be able to use the pool!]. Those of you who have been to Barton Camp before will know just what an exceptional venue this is and it will give everyone the opportunity to see where the money we raise at Brunel is used. ** Remember that you will only receive emails from us if you have opted in on your Membership Form. Hélène and Pauline

A plea for the magazine: It takes all of two minutes to stop and take a picture; how many of you now own a digital camera? How many of you own a computer? It would be lovely to feature some members cars being used as they should each month. It is so simple to email them, just say who its from and where it was taken, if you wish to write more we will be more than pleased. Email to MAGAZINE PHOTOS - thankyou.
The magazine is financed by both your membership fees and our advertisers. If you, or anyone you know, wishes to advertise in Fast Forward then here are the rates - full page £15, half page £10, quarter page £5. There are 6 issues a year so the maximum cost is £90. Copies go to all members plus copies are handed out at Moss, Chris Leverett Classics and at any shows we attend.
Thank you to everyone who sends in reports for the magazine. Word documents are great for words (as the name suggests) but make a poor job of photos. So, please include your photos into the Word document by all means but also email photos in separately so that the best can be made of them. Thank you - Pauline
CHANGES AT MOSS BRISTOL: Moss Europe Ltd decided recently that to continue to support the classic car community the only way forward was to have all of its stock holding held in one location. This decision follows almost all of the classic car parts suppliers and it is a trend seen across many industries worldwide with the growth of mail order and internet sales in recent times. Appreciating this is not ideal for those dedicated customers and friends who normally collect goods but the actions were taken to keep the supply of parts for many years to come. All the sales staff within the Bristol branch are still here, still working hard and still able to advise and support those needing that personal service. The shop is now closed but we can be contacted on 01179 232523 as before. The website improves day by day for those wanting to shop online but please feel free to support our local team by calling up. The Bristol team will continue to enjoy classic MG’s and there will be no escape from seeing us in the future as we will continue to support the community by way of many classic car shows and events into 2025.
