New security features have been added to the BBS by Mike Plumstead that will
encrypt email addresses so that spam crawlers will not be able to harvest email
addresses from the page coding. This means that although you will be able
to see and click on an email address such as webmast@mgytypes.org
the actual code in the page is:
webmast@mgytypes.org
which is total gibberish to spam crawlers. We hope that this will bring
continued assurance of our intention to provide you with a safe and secure
internet MG Y experience. You will therefore be safe to leave your full
email address up there if you wish rather than putting it up cryptically (such
as webmast @ mgytypes.org - without the spaces). Our thanks to Mike
Plumstead for this.

Y 5492 has changed owners and is now back in The
Netherlands having passed from father to son. It is always heartening to
see the Y infection passing through the generations and not loosing any of its
appeal! Well done Rob and Andrew and we wish Andrew much enjoYment from
the car.

Karl Heinz Boerchers has sent

Peter Arnell, also
had a surprise at Silverstone last weekend. David Pelham explains:
In March 2009, Peter Arnell passed on the role of Chairmanship of the MG Car
Club Y Type Register to Peter Vielvoye, after eleven years of dedicated service.
Peter has been an
excellent ambassador, both for the Y Register and the MG Car Club. Peter and
Suzie’s Sun Bronze YB is in regular attendance at MG events and probably ‘clocks
up’ more miles than most other Y Types.
 It
was decided by the Committee to recognise Peter’s contribution by presenting him
with a Jacket (suitable for both Y & Triple M events – Peter also has a N Type)
embroidered with a Y Type, the MG Car Club Logo and the words Chairman 1998 –
2009. David Pelham made a short speech on behalf of the Register thanking Peter
for his contribution. This was followed by Bill Wallis, the President of the MG
Car Club, who presented the Jacket to Peter and also thanked him for his hard
work on behalf of the club.
Peter thanked all the committee for their work and
support during his chairmanship and wished the Register success going forward.
Note: Under normal circumstances of a maximum term of five years office
holding, this record eleven year stretch is likely not to be surpassed in the
short term … but we shall have to wait and see!
The mid-month
Reprinted Article has also been
added and is from Australia's Sports and Classic Cars magazine and it
titled Y-Front the prim and proper MG. Enjoy!
