| The
magazine, in conjunction with this website, is collecting pictures
for the online gallery and for one each month in the magazine.
The format, for the magazine, will be answers to a series of questions
plus a short piece by the owner as to why they have the car.
No more than 100 words so
it is not a daunting process. Is the car driven by both and do
you both enjoy ownership. Have you taken it to interesting or
exotic places i.e. Brean Down! France, Scotland, anywhere? Send
a picture at no more than 600 pixels along the longest edge
(preferably no bigger than 100kb - for help on resizing pictures

but if you are unsure, just
email

Year of manufacture: 1970
Owned since: Oct 1997
How often does it go out?: frequently
Who cleans and polishes it?: me
Your most enjoyable drive?: annual Le Mans trip
Stories about car: I enjoy driving the car because it's so different
from my recently-purchased Dagenham dustbin - noisy,cold,poor
brakes,thirsty engine, heavy steering, etc. Usual MG attributes!
But once on the move all the above shortcomings disappear with
the back-to-basic driving required of such a car. And of course
meeting the inevitable old fart who stops to reminisce about the
time he owned an MG. It's a different world!

out and dad just carries on competing!
