Okay, I’m not exactly from the South Coast :mrgreen: but it would be fab to meet some friends from that region again!

By the way … isn’t that John Frost Bridge in Arnhem in your Avatar, the Bridge Too Far?

I have been looking forward to this for years and signed up the moment books opened but unfortunately I don't have an MOTed F so am missing it (wedding anniversary is the following day as well).

I am sure you can go in another MG! If you have one that works.....

Yep, any MG will do, and the roof top bar at the finish (Holiday Inn Southend) will be open until 2am on Sunday, so no probs about celebrating the anniversary either, James. :lol:

And these two are for Jon&Joyce:

No problem in turning up in another MG model and if needs be in an unrelated make at this late stage if you have a problem with your F.

If you do decide to do the run in another car though, please let Michael (secretary@mgfregister.org) and Adrian (adrian.clifford@mgfregister.org) know as soon as possible as the car details you registered onto the event with will have already gone for the security check and will need updating before the night. This will ensure there are no delays or problems on the night when you get to Canary Wharf in a car that they are not expecting.

Sorry Keith, only just seen this so it's a bit late but thanks, with 3 broken MGF/TF, broken maestro and 2 running Zeds you would've thought I'd got there somehow.
