Hi Guys,(never been away really and nice to see my "how too" with the rear springs went down well) after selling our much loved and always missed Tourer a few years ago...,I tried to buy her back only to find she had beenwritten off within a year of selling her.So,backsearching for months and months and months.All isnow well,now the proud owner of a stunning car.More snaps to follow...I don't think she has ever been out in the rain and I am seriously thinkingof putting her on SORN until the Spring.TTFN..a very happy Pete.
snap enc ofthe old Tourer at Cosford with you all years ago..

hi Pete it's great to see you back here again Lilian and will never forget your kindness when she had a broken femur

We have our local meets at the New Inn Heckfield this coming Sunday and at the ELY Blackbush in January it would be good to see you there

Thanks Derek,I may well SORN it until the Spring.I want to check it underneath for any rust,especially the subframes etc.Hopefully it will be fine,it has only just turned 24,000miles,11,000 only in the last ten years.A snap from a few years ago,you are in there somewhere!
Ref The New Inn,thats where we have our Scimitar Noggins!! I am putting one of those on the road for my sins.

Small world! My brother popped 'round this morning and told me one of his friends had bought a Rover '75. He showed me a pic of the car on his 'phone - it was the pic above!!

Seems you know my brother Alan - a very keen MG enthusiast.

Hi Cliff,yes known Alan for some time,I do worry about all these videos he keeps posting on FB! I dare say I will get some ribbing for buying the Rover but you know how it is...Once Smitten! I had better get out in the M.G. more just to keep him quiet.Nice to be back!

Snap of the M.G.

I keep telling him to get a ZT, but so far it's fallen on deaf ears. Good to see you back in the fold. :xmas-smiley-022:
