1 September 2010

Time flies, especially when you are having fun - nevermore so than with MG Y Types! At least that is my story and I am sticking to it. This update is a little late because I spent yesterday preparing master discs prior to sending them off for mass copying for the electronic books of Let there be Ys that I will be releasing through YZ Publications later this month ... so, keep checking back here to see what the latest news is.

So now to the regular monthly updates. The Reprinted Article comes from MG Enthusiast, December 2008 and is a Buyer's Guide. This has also been added to our Buyer's Guides page.

This month's Picture of the Month page comes Tony Slattery ... hopefully with more to follow!!.

Coming up soon will be the Australian T and Y Weekend (4-5 September 2010), and UK MG Car Club inaugural Autumn Run (5 September (5 September).  If you are not signed up for either of these events please contact the organisers - details can be found on the Events page.
