Re: Hello fellow Yellow bellies!
Just a belated explanation regarding the name "Yellow Bellies" for Lincolnshire folks. It comes from the uniform the Lincolnshirenregement used to wear in years gone by. They wore a bright yellow bib on their uniform, hence the name. Jusst a reminder that there is an active MGCC natter at the Cross ...

Re: Have you exported a TF ?
Hi Tim,
I know of one 85th Anniversary model (silver with cassis stripe) exported to Australia late last year. It belongs to Robert Ingham from Yorkshire MGF. Is this the one you are aware of?
Cheers.

Re: ABINGDON to GENEVA RE-RUN
Hi Charless, just bought a GB sticker from Moss. They are chromed self adhesive metal letters. Not the cheapest one you will find (@£9) but looks quite reasonable when left on the car. See you in Abingdon, regards Ribena Rob Anybody got a spare/ideas-to-source decent GB sticker? I will be leaving it...

OK, thanks Sparky. Got the "PM" also. I get there eventually, just takes a little more time once you pass 3 score years!

Re: ABINGDON to GENEVA RE-RUN
Sparky,
forgive my ignorance, but what is a "PM"? Do I need to go to the garage, or even the doctors!?

Re: ABINGDON to GENEVA RE-RUN
Many thanks for this Geoff. As I thought, should be OK with normal tyres (hopefully!) Not sure snow chains would help enhance the appearance of the 85th wheels! See you soon, Ribena Rob We are currently waiting to hear from the MGCC Switzerland for advice on tyres/chains and any other aspects that n...

Re: ABINGDON to GENEVA RE-RUN
Thanks Keith, it would help if someone can advise - I suspect the adjuster has been "cost engineered" out of the new models, our pals LE500 does not seem to have then either! Hi all, just one point you guy's may be able to help with. The owners manual for the 85th ann. model states that the headligh...

Re: ABINGDON to GENEVA RE-RUN
One other thing.....
I have noticed a couple of posts on the Tecnhnical section regarding snow tyres. Am I correct in assuming that we shall not be expected to fit new wheels and snow tyres for this run? What are other planning to do in this regard?
Thanks,
Ribena Rob.

Re: ABINGDON to GENEVA RE-RUN
Hi all, just one point you guy's may be able to help with. The owners manual for the 85th ann. model states that the headlight can be adjusted to dip either left or right by moving a lever in the lamp holder. However, when you try to find said lever, low and behold...nothing! Not for the first time ...

Re: ABINGDON to GENEVA RE-RUN
Hi Geoff, many thanks for your post and the welcome, very helpful. We were considering the possibility of an extra night in Geneva, but only if others are considering the same. Would not want to break up the merry gang too soon! We were in Geneva last June and Annemasse is not too difficult to find ...

Re: Hello from another new owner
Hello Malcolm, from one new owner to another, welcome. Looks like you have had more snow than we have had in Lincolnshire. One tip a friend with a TF has passed on - if the thick snow melts and runs down the engine compartment vents, it can get onto the engine electrics and give starting problems. M...
