Do you know you can just click 'Edit Posts' and you can change it...

I'd much rather see a non-MG with some interesting mods, or an immaculate City, or an early VP

Would a Maestro Special do, Maria??? :laugh:

[Maria]

Yup, perfectly acceptable

A Grand Day Out

It was great to see so many people and their cars on Sunday. I met loads of people on this forum which was great including Mat_C, tony and David, the club treasurer and many more people from the MG Enthusiasts BBS.

Having read another thread I'm just glad I took my MG1600 and left my immaculate MG Turbo at home

That was the first MG-M day I've been to and I won't be missing another!

It was good to meet of you lot even though F153 had to stay at home I was chauffeured by MaestroMatt in A82 WHR, in my opinion one of the nicest, and certainly one of the oldest Maesties there.

You're right about the lack of autojumble - I was hoping to pick up a couple of electric window mechanisms (one for F153 JUE and one for A251 HPR) but I made do with a couple of very good condition Monty alloys - Just 3 more required now

It was also very refreshing to see swathes of Maestros lined up and looking very fine indeed. There were a couple of Tickfords for sale and I was v. tempted but thankfully I managed to fight the urge and still only have the 1 Maestro!

Kudos to your Monty as well, Tony. You've obviously got a lot of work ahead of you but you can certainly see the potential. I'm sure your wife will as well. She doesn't know how lucky she is that you bought her a Monty as well - His and Hers eh?!

I'm sorry you didn't make it Jonathan, I can assure you that you and CHO were indeed very much missed. See you in Peterborough tho...?

Oh, one last thing: There's only one thing that your Camper is missing, Maria - you need to craft yourself a nice italic 'Van' badge by cutting off 'den Plas' from an old Maestro. A certain touch of class I thought...

:laugh:

Would very much like a VP chrome grille too.

It was a good day and very nice to see so many Maestros lined up. I have to agree with Maria that Turbos are not the be all and end all though. I wouldn't say no to a Tickford as a second car though...

I took a few pictures - not as many as I thought - I blame the camera! I have put them on an interweb somewhere round here...

Sadly, however, since I uploaded them my web provider seems to have deleted half the pictures. This is an annoying habit it seems to have developed. As I can't imagine that Maestro pictures count as explicit content, I shall upload them again tonight and see if they actually manage to stay there, so check back tomorrow.

Apologies for the fairly low quality of the pictures - they were taken with my tiny Blink Stylecam which I have just realised has been superseded by the Blink II.

Your Vanden Plas

Hi Mat,

The Vanden Plas looked great - its always good to see another A-reg Maestro with a digital dash. I had a good look at your car but it was a shame we did not meet as I met loads of other enthusiasts from this forum.

I have posted up some pictures that were taken on Sunday on a new page on my website:

I am not sure if I saw your car - I probably did as I had a good look at pretty much all the Maestros! As I was saying above, we should make a concerted effort to put faces to names at Peterborough as I only met a few of the people from the forum who say they were there.

Still no good news on my pictures - my ISP randomly deletes pictures just as they finish uploading. I am about to send them a furious e-mail!

Guess you didnt want the radiator in the end? It's the only thing i didnt sell which was a shame.

[Guest]

I did want it I just couldn't find you before I left! I have PM'd you.

[Guest]

Sorry I couldnt be there, it was most annoying, I had been looking forward to it for weeks, but when it came to it, I just did not feel well enough to drive the 400mile round trip!

Sorry

Following a discussion with the helpful chaps at Zoom, I have now got enough webspace and have posted all the pictures for anyone that is still interested.

dont suppose you could put the pictures up as thumbnails and they we could press on the picture we would like bigger.

Sorry to complain, just my internet connnection isn't particularly fast and it takes ages to open the page.

Did you see my car?

My MG 1600 was parked at the front next to the MGM tent with a line up of MG Saloon cars through the ages. We took some pictures of the display which will be posted on my site and the MGM site at some point this week.

Unfortunately I am not going to Peterborough.
