You do realise that as soon as Austin is running around you will have to turn that garden (drive) into a play area !(swing and a slide perhaps you could probably squeeze in a trampoline)
Trust me this is someone talking from experience...

HI

Thanks for comments,

Rob - theres already a swing appeared in the garden (Austins 1st birthday present!)

Onno, my tf is having a top end rebuild at the minute due to noisy hydraulic tappets so not sold yet, although tempted to! Picture was taken outside my unit that I share on a farm - tf has since had a new black roof fitted as well.

I thought that the garden was looking extremely tidy John, what with only 5 vehicles (very tidily) parked there. Does this mean the 16 MGf's and 4 Spitfires and the 2 sheds of spares have a new location ?
Geoff Mears

Glad that you're getting both of your Midgets to Midget50 - and it'll be great to see the Sprite get to Spridget50 with Austin behind the wheel - sure am glad it went to a great home :)

Here's the pic of my driveway ..... - with my trust big black mechanical dog in the middle - guarding them all

Good to hear your TF is having trouble as well(strange thing to say)

The F I for my sister has some signs of reverse kitcar syndrome already.
Temp gauge is gone
idle stil is slightly high (only had a quick prod)
mirror adjustment arms droped off (she broke one with her kite board)
And has started a strange side noise on startup (grind rumbel noise)

So i can't wait for the disk ;)

nice sight though a full row of MG's in my street (GT, Midget and F)
Should have taken a picture....

"nice sight though a full row of MG's in my street (GT, Midget and F)"

Onno, your neighbours must love you for taking that many parkingspaces! :)
Like my street your street was also build when the car was just invented so there is no abundance of parkingspots.
Old cars and old houses, both of them keep you poor and of the street. :)

Onno, can Thijs suply you with used F parts or do you need some adresses?
Arie de Best

Adresses are welcome as Thijs can only get new stuff and has not jet broken an F yet.
He has started maintenance on them though!
Onno Könemann

I find Weusthof from Wijchen very helpfull and Alex Mol has a good adres to from a guy from Brabant.
Ill see if I can get Alex to send the adres thrue.
