FLYING BANANA 5th September 2021 17:02

A spirited drive…………
 
…………………………. Today in the Bear to, and from MG’s in the park. Met up with GazzaV6 in his MGZT, “Scrappy Do”, and a well sorted MG ZS.
The Bear covered 362 miles and we got 24.27mpg. Using the super unleaded.
And that was travelling at Warp Factor 3 and a bit aka 69.9mph (ish!).

In the “Pride of Ownership” Redfive got Highly Commended award. Lost out to a very highly detailed MG ZT from Wales.

Met loads of old friends from the various MG clubs I used to frequent.
Lots of sympathy for Banana but all said “She will be back”, I blooming hope so. The Bear is killing my petrol wallet.

Didn't make it there :o the B threw a hissy fit and had to be recovered home:eek::o
Lot of ignition controlled circuits not functioning but it's not making any sense :duh:
Tomorrow is another day to try again and my patience.

Far easier to repair than a 75, good luck with it!

That's about what I get from my ZT V6. Suspect the automatic box might be to blame.

Thanks Andy, it's kind of sorted itself, but I think the main culprit is the fuse box, fortunately it's not like our 75/ZT fuse boxes ;):eek:. Although it's up and running I won't trust it till a replacement arrives and it's changed.

Martyn. :}
