Hi Jide,
Yes saying goodbye to the MG marks a change in our lives as it was at the centre for so long but life goes on.
By the way does anybody have news of Maxime and Xavier, we have both tried to contact then but with no success?

For my friends here just a quick note to let you know that after 35 years yesterday I sold my GT and say thank you for all the enjoyment we got from our sorties with you. My last view of my faithful friend. Gone but never forgotten. Pour mes amis ici, juste un petit mot pour vous dire qu'après 35 an...

Re: Attention Brexit !
For overseas buyers (EU in this case) sellers can - and should - sell without charging VAT. Some either: 1. Don't know it. 2. Do know but cannot be bothered or don't know how to do the paperwork. 3. Do know but choose to rip customers off by charging it anyway. Sometimes the problem can be that pric...

Re: Sortie 2020 Au fil du canal du midi
Thank you Jide, it's a day which has been coming and will come to us all eventually, 32 years is not such a bad run!
The warmer weather here in Spain suits us though and is beneficial to our health overall.

Yes I hope to replace the MG with something more manageable for Margaret while still providing an interesting drive for me.

English car reliability? Those who know me will tell you I drive my MGB hard and fast but in 32 years and 300,000+ miles (500,000km) I never had a breakdown I could not fix on the spot and drive away from. How many modern cars could you say that of ? Fiabilité de la voiture anglaise ? Ceux qui me co...

Not the cheapest option but the safest. Heathrow Transmissions https://www.ebay.co.uk/str/heathrowtransmissions sell a fully refurbished and guaranteed OD transmission for ~€1200 plus transportation. For the exchange you can buy a used transmission from Andy Jennings and have him send it direct to H...

We are home!
1200km in 12hours with maybe 90 minutes in breaks.
Margaret drove for about an hour and slept most of the rest of the time!
Thanks again to Pixou and everybody for great sortie.

Hello friends and apologies for not looking in sooner. It's true we are in the land of the marsupials since Nov 4th. and not due to return until Jan 22nd. Before that we were completely consumed with settling into our new life in Spain. Already more than 10,000 km driven here and maybe another 3000 ...

Yes Deepl is remarkable and much better than Google which seems to simply translate words with little respect to context or content. We use nothing else now and recommend it to everybody.
