       With just over a month to go now to the UK Season opener entry forms for "The MG Y Register Spring Run" you can still be downloaded from the Events Page.  Also two other events for the UK diary worth noting are the 6th Abingdon Fayre, Air and Country Show will take place on Sunday 1st May at Dalton Barracks Abingdon (Vehicle bookings, contact Brian Davis on +44 (0)7789 654204), and The MG Saloon Car Show run by the M Group at Stanford Hall, Lutterworth Leicestershire on July 3, 2005- details can be obtained from them here.

Those of you who have recently restored your car and rewired it will, no doubt have encountered the crumbling problem of the "swan neck" grommet from the bulkhead bringing the wires through from the dashboard to the junction box.  For many years now these complex mouldings have not been available.  However, the enterprising talents of Ted Gardner have turned to this, following his recent successes with the bonnet buffers.  After much strife, Ted has produced a first small batch of these rubber bulkhead grommet.  These are now available on a first come, first served basis at the price of £4.00 each from the Regalia Page.  The Sales List has also been updated.

The mid-month Reprinted Article is taken from Classic and Sportscar magazine - October 1986 and features a review of MG Saloon Cars from the Y Type to the 1300.

       A highly amusing entry (entry 133) to the guestbook today from Mike Anderson of Australia - former Y owner.  Worth taking a look at as I am sure we can all relate to most of his story, if quite not the bit about the policeman!  Thank you Mike, please continue to enjoy the site and one day maybe another Y will find its way into your garage!

       March is already upon us!  For those who hibernated their cars over the Northern hemisphere winter, now is the time to start thinking of waking them up and preparing for the Spring Run in the UK.  Fortunately here in the Pacific North West they do not use salt on the roads (a chemical de-icer is used instead) so my YA has already seen some action in the last few days, however I run it throughout the winter any way.

As regular visitors will know, we normally bring you one Reprinted Article a month.  However, on that basis it would have taken well into 2009 to exhaust the current stock of articles already prepared to release, so it has been decided to release two a month - one at the start and one half way through. In view of the current climate in the UK, and the impending winter season in the Southern hemisphere, perhaps an early article on "Fitting a Smiths Heater" by one W. E. Blower would be appropriate.  Unfortunately I have not been able to trace either the date or the original publication, however it is assumed to be some time in the early 1950s.

This Month's Picture of the Month is provided by Colin Essex of Coventry and goes back in time to the MG Saloon Day,2003.
