Here is a good use of an old sub £500 MGF with a nice patritoic re jig!.

They are taking part in a charity run for "bangers" on behalf of the BEN charity and will leaving the UK on Saturday - I'll let Lee Smith say a bit more about it before asking for donations !

" This week 24 teams from various parts of the motor industry will be doing their bit for charity in Bangers4BEN 2013.
This year sees the 50th anniversary of the legendary Porsche 911. Always one to stick its hands into its pockets for charity, Porsche have got on board with and helped out.
Bangers4BEN 2013 is a FOUR-day event starting at Porsche’s headquarters in Reading on Saturday, October 12, with our final destination being the Porsche museum in Stuttgart in Germany, before heading home on Tuesday, October 15.
Along the way we’ll be finding time to drop in on the fearsome Nurburgring Nordschleife for a look around.
Once the rally has ended, the car we make the trip in will be sold at a special auction at Aston Barclay with all the proceeds handed over to BEN.
There’s a £500 budget to spend on each car, and this year Everything from an MGF!! to a Ford Granada Estate will be taking part in the marathon road-trip.
We’ve had huge support from Marshall Bury Nissan Bodyshop and Bee Bee Refinishing supplies who not only supplied the paint but also sent down their rock star of a designer to help mark out the bodywork for spraying."

There is a twitter blog of the trip at https://twitter.com/MMG_Powers

It would be great if you could make a donation to the BEN charity via Richard Fuller's Just Giving page here ......

We should hopefully be featuring a bit more on the car in the next FasTForward as well.
