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?

Hi Ernie... glad to have news from you. My GT has just gone (after only 10 years of common life). The wheel spins... for us too ! Your are in the south, under the sun... not too hot ? Cheers. Yes I saw that you had parted with your GT, in favour of a CGT I believe? Yes - yes - yes, sometimes!!!! Be...

Hello Ernie It's a nice surprise that you're showing us your little toy love. If you want to come on the forum, in the pub section (mon clip musical d'aujourd'hui ) you could post some English music for us...if you want. A bientôt aimegb * ( a pun on MGB and Great Britain )* Yves Merci Yves, I may ...

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...

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...

I did this conversion once, never again! https://www.mgexp.com/forum/mgb-and-gt-forum.1/lhd-conversion-unforseen-steering-rack.2114659/#msg-2114659 There is NO correct or OEM dashboard for this job, the only option is the Andy Jennings glass fiber one and my experience of those has not been very goo...

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.

If that's an offer then I must decline, she is priceless !

Thank you JAMU.

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

Bonjour mes amis. It's with very heavy heart I have to announce our withdrawal from the sortie. Unfortunately Margaret has developed some mobility problems which are making it difficult for her both to get in and out of the MG or travel any distance in it and without her by my side I can take little...

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.

Nous arrivons!

Looking forward to seeing you all again and meeting new people and their cars.

Ernie and Margaret x

Petite pensée à Ernie et Margaret qui viennent de loin en MG .. :UK: et que nous aurons plaisir a revoir , leur MGb GT bi-compresseur, multi soupapes :drive: , ne sera pas seule pour cette édition, apparemment il y a du monde en MGB GT apparemment!!! :excite: :excite: :excite: souvenir d'Italie ......

Just heard of an MGB owner in trouble losing 1lt of gearbox oil per hour. Can anybody recommend a garage nearby ? J'ai entendu parler d'un propriétaire de MGB près de Perpignan en difficulté perdant 1 litre d'huile de boîte de vitesses par heure. Quelqu'un peut-il me recommander un garage à proximit...

Nous sommes ici !

Quelles sont les dates de la 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 ...

Hopefully not a bad omen !!!!!!!!!!!!

Good luck to one and all, I had forgotten that your adventure begun on my birthday !

Jidé de Grasse a écrit :quite comfortable !
you're wonderful Margaret and you, keep on going

We hope to, we have always followed our own road!

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. We have slept in the MG many times before and I'm sure we will again, if the back 'seat' is clear to allow the f...

Safely home at 9am this morning having slept +/- 5 hours in the MG after Barcelona. We had planned to find a hotel in or near Girona but there was a festival on and all hotels were full (or at least the ones which cost under €100!) so we decided to drive on until dark and then stop wherever we happe...

Hobbes a écrit :Who else would be ready to drive 1 300 km to meet old friends, have some good time, and - possibly - get his hands dirty in our engines?
We think you are both a bit crazy but you have earned our highest respect!
See you soon.

Only a little bit crazy ?!?!
