I was wondering how
best to celebrate the seventh birthday of the website, when I got the best
present possible - another car to add to the Ys on Parade - from Anil Koshti.
So, today, please welcome Anil and YT 3253 to
Ys
on Parade.
The puzzles have all
been consolidated onto one page too (though still
accessible via the link to the left of this panel), and for those that like
them, I have added a Word Search puzzle too.

Today I even found a
picture of my own car on Flickr, so it too has been added to the
Flickr page! Additionally, a new video from John
Twist and University Motors has been added to the
Technical Videos page. Although the reference car used to find Top
Dead Centre (TDC) was an MGB, the technique can equally be applied to any
engine.
Also, the mid-month
Reprinted Article has been added
- this time from 16 August 1949.

Please welcome
Igal Brickman, the new owner of YT 4127 to
Ys
on Parade. It is always nice to be able to welcome new cars, and new
owners, however, Igal is also the first owner in Israel to feature on this
website so please also greet a new country on the Parade too!

Today please welcome
George Campbell, the new owner of Y 7009
(previously on the Parade) and YB 1351 (a car
that we previously did not know had survived!!) to Ys
on Parade, thank you George! We now have 100 YBs on show too!!
The
Flickr page also continues to be regularly updated,
sometimes several times a day!

Four more classic
photographs have been added to the
Collectibles page, three
of YB 1551, and one featuring YBs 0414 and 0480.
More photographs have
also been added to the Flickr page by kind permission
of the photographers. This page is currently being constantly updated by
me as returns come in from the Flickr photographic community so I have
temporarily added a "last updated" tag just below the title. Please check
the page and see if it has been updated since you last looked!

through the Flickr website (www.flickr.com) a larger number of MG Y Type
photographs have been found. Some of these we have already obtained
copyright permission to bring to you on this website too - others we are still
working on. Click here to go to the new Flickr
page. More will be added soon as permissions come in so watch this space.
