MG Midget and Sprite General - General bets and prizes ...!
| Following the bit of fun on guessing the BHP and getting a prize at M50, I thought it might be an idea to open it out to anyone who wants to provide a guessing game and provide a bag of sweeties at Midget50 ...! Here's mine (barred to anyone who's on my facebook account!) - whilst I've loved the Midget ALL my life - yesterday I drove a car which almost tempted me out - what was it????? If you get it - then I'll give you a bag of sweeties or, if they really make me wear an orange baseball cap, you can have that :) (Oh yes, the BHP figure on this was double the Midget in the other one:P!) YES you will have to have bought your ticket and be coming to win!!!!!!!!! |

| TVR? No, perhaps not enough room for haylage bales |
| Guy |
| Ferrari 250GTO Did you borrow it from Nick? |
| Bob Turbo Midget England |
| I'm sure I know but won't spoil the fun... ;-) Mark. |
| M T Boldry |
| LOL Guy - very local ;) Nope - more BHP, but at least with haylage it's wrapped so it doesn't all fall out the back - which reminds me of a time when I was coming home from an Autotest and was most narked that there was a bale of hay abandoned on the side of the road - and it wouldn't fit in :(!!!!! LOL Bob - ain't telling who I borrowed it from ;) At least the Ferrari would have a black horse on it though I suppose ....... Mark should be running his own bet :P |
| rachmacb |
| Sorry, but my mum always warned me not to take sweets from a stranger... Btw, a Scot giving something away for free??? Are you kidding me to expect to believe that? Cant be the real Rach, must be a troll... Go a way from this bbs and give us our miserly Rach back!! LOL!!! |
| Arie de Best |
| Rach, a mgc gt? ;) |
| Arie de Best |
| Haha Arie - with these guesses, my sweeties are more than safe - and the baseball cap will just have to stay on my head (which is an awful shame as bright orange really won't go with my hair .... ;)!) |
| rachmacb |
| Hmm, More than 340bhp? (that is what my son's last Chim was). Ah, a tank of some sort. That would make the Boldry comment valid. |
| Guy |
| LOL ok Guy - I thought you meant some of the earlier ones built in Blackpool ;) A tad less than that - and don't let Boldry mis-direct ..... he just wants the hat for that Aussie sun :) |
| rachmacb |
| Though i won't be comming to M50 you can send that hat to me before so you won't have to wear it. Big power and pulling you from the midget..... Going out on a limb here BMW M3????? must realy add you @ Facebook |
| Onno Könemann |
| LOL - Onno is now banned from entering (since he knows!), but the rest of you weren't even close - so, as a good Scot, I knew this (of course!) and will keep my ghastly orange hat :( |
| rachmacb |
| Oh come on guys you can do it! It realy is not that difficult! |
| Onno Könemann |
| Vauxhall Astra Merit :P Just scanned facebook and didn't see the answer :P |
| PeterJMoore |
| Haha Pete - you might win it on the "slight link and I'm desperate to get rid of it" clause! That's a nice little cheap car for someone to buy ;) contact me for more details so you don't work out the link :)!!!! |
| rachmacb |
| Well - this bet is now closed - and I'm really surprised that no-one got it (expected someone from Lincs to guess it correctly!) Sadly, after letting a man park it, then I can't drive it again until the paintwork has been redone, which is a shame as I was looking forward to Drive it Day! It was, in fact, a Glacier White B roadster V8 conversion with a 3948 engine, kicking out something like 250bhp at the wheels, and hundreds of lbs of torque - and, just for you A-series addicts - I was leaving that standing in my twin exhausts with cherry bomb wake. It has the RV8 bonnet, so even Arie doesn't get part of a hat! :) Here's a photo of me at the Autotest on Sunday having a bit of fun!

| rachmacb |
| OOOOOeeeerrrr I would never have guessed (I am a Lincs member) :) |
| Robert (Bob) Midget Turbo |
| Well I got the engine right (Same V8 as a TVR) And I did say it was a tank of some sort! |
| Guy |
| LMAO Bob - would have thought you would have! OK Guy - you can have part of the hat then ;)! It doesn't drive like a tank with all the mods though - it was almost as light as the Midget ..... |
