Today,
please welcome Nick Baker with YB 1023 to
Ys on Parade. If the name is familiar, it may
be because of his father, Robert Baker, who owns Y
1090: it is clearly a family thing! Please also welcome David Ward
with YT 3915 to
Ys on Parade. David's car is the
100th YT on the website and
gives us a full 1/3rd of all known YTs!! Thank you both Nick and David for
sharing your cars with us.

Well, we now have
enough Ys on the website for one a day ... even in a leap year! Today,
please welcome Loene Fuller with YT 3871, and
Robert Pringle with Y 4770 to

be the posting of the 100th YT on the web!

A new advertisement
has been added to the Reprinted Advertisements
page from 1953.
The mid-month
Reprinted Article is from an unknown
publication and date but is appropriately entitled "The New 1 1/4 litre".
Finally, if you have
been having problems downloading the video clip files from either the
UK 60th Anniversary Spring Run, or from
Y's on Film (for either Le Petit Soldat, or
Sweeny 2), the video codecs have been revised to a more friendly windows
standard so you should now be able to download and enjoy these files: apologies
for any inconvenience in getting these sorted out.

Taking an engine apart is easy - putting it back together correctly and ensuring
that you have checked everything is harder.
Dave DuBois recently sent in a quick check list of torque settings and checks to
be carried out on rebuilding an XPAG engine.
This has been added to both the Hints and Tips page,
and the Technical Data page.

The
Picture of the Month this month is from the
Maitland Sixtieth Anniversary (not previously
seen but now added) and shows Tony Slattery's YT with Tony in the driver's seat.
Next to him is Steve Brompton and Alf Luckman is leaning on the door with his
car is in the foreground.
Two
Reprinted Articles have
been added this month. The first is from The Modern Motorman, January 1950, and
the second from Totally T Type following up on some of the recent BBS
threads and covers fitting a new fuel sender unit. This brings our library
total of reprinted articles to 100!
Graham Loader has
also sent in a copy of the special commemorative poster that was given to all Y
participants on the MG Car Club of South Australia tour to mark the 60th
Anniversary. This has been uploaded now to the
special page of photographs and reports.
Please also welcome
John Coburn, the new owner of Y 3930, to
Ys on Parade.
Andrew Coulson
informed me of a trip that he, and a small band of brother Y owners will be
making to the Emerald Isle of Ireland later this month too: we wish them well
and no doubt will see some photos later too.
