Australian Ys Month
27 July
2006
Did I say we had
received the last one from Mike and Lynette Burden on the 24th? I should
have known better and said the last for now! Mike has contacted another 2
Y owners who have consented to him entering their cars for them so please
welcome Jon Meakins with Y 0801, and Brett
Partington with Y 4298 to
Ys on Parade. These owners both have remarkable tales attached to
their cars and provide a fitting final update for July and this special month
for Australian
Ys on Parade. In total, this month alone, Mike and Lynette have added
a total of 2 YTs and 10 YAs in what has been a very busy month! As always,
we are all indebted to new owners sharing their cars with us and we appreciate
them all: but a special thanks to Mike and Lynette. At the risk of
repeating myself ... "Somehow I think Mike and Lynette may well find some
more yet!"

The last
car sent in currently by Mike and Lynette Burden on behalf of fellow Y owners
they have contacted and obtained permission to enter by proxy on
Ys on Parade is Y 1344 belonging to Phil
Ramsden. Thank you Mike and Lynette, and everyone who agreed to them detailing
and entering their cars for us to enjoy. Somehow I think Mike and Lynette
may well find some more yet!

June saw the 56th
International Silverstone meeting, and Andrew and Arlene Coulson have filed
a report on it those of us who could not
be there. Also a memory jogger to those who went on the recent Y Register
trip to the Ardennes ... the world waits on your lips (and pictures) for news
too. Also the MG and Narrow Gauge , MG Saloon Day, and the up coming (9th
July) 12 Anniversary Ripon Old Car show too please.
If you go to an MG
event in your Y, Y not share it with others? Also, if you are having an
event and want to get Ys along, send the webmaster details for the events
calendar.

Mike Burden (Perth,
Western Australia) having finished his restoration has very kindly been chasing
up Y Types in his neck of the woods that for one reason or another, have not yet
made it on to Ys on Parade. Last month, he kindly obtained details and
permission from John Ellis and sent his car in on John's behalf. This
month he resolved the riddle of the 3209 chassis number, and has sent in one of
Stan Tucker's cars. He has now sent me another four cars which we will
bring you over the next few days. Mike says "It really is my pleasure,
it's good to find a Y interest now that my car is complete, both Lynette and I
had so much enjoyment out of restoring the car together. We now get our kicks
finding others." In recognition of Mike's sterling efforts we are
making this Australia month.
So please welcome Stan Tucker's
other Y Type, YT 3700.
If you know of other
Ys where the owner is not on the internet, please show them the site and Ys on
Parade and, with their consent, send in details for them so that
we can all enjoy their cars too.
