Morning All
I am trying to organise a Turbo extravaganza this year at the BL Autumn Rally at Milton Keynes, which is on Sunday 30th September.
It’s right at the end of the season so I’m hoping that this show wouldn’t compete against too many other events, and Milton Keynes is relatively central.
Another plus side to the show is it’s free to enter and free for spectators too.
Back in 1999 (should have been 1998 by my reckoning!) the MG M and FWD groups organised a 10th anniversary event. They managed to assemble 40 Turbos (which is really impressive).
I don't think we could manage that (not enough left in roadworthy condition probably) but hope to bring together as many as possible.
I'm thinking of a snappy name like the "Big Boost meeting" (boost as in Turbo?!)
To get a decent number of owners and cars together, we're going to have to go outside just the ranks of the Maestro & Montego Owners Club.
We are contacting the Front Wheel Drive Register of the MG Car Club, the MGOC, and the Tickford Register.
We will also be putting out an appeal on the club's Facebook and Enthusiasts Facebook pages, and other committee members will be getting the classic motoring press to help us out with any owners who are not Facebook or Web users.
The only restriction is that they be original O series engined Turbos.
I hope you can bring out your car and join us, to make this celebration a success.
Please reply to this message if you think you can participate.
Many thanks
