Silverstone

[Pete & Lin]

Travelling through Somerset early hours Sunday morning en route to Silverstone MGLive, leaving Plymouth about 3am so if you see us give us a flash ( lights that is ).

Or if theres agroup of MGF's en route at that time, wouldnt mind being 'tail end charlie'

Not sure whether I'll go via Swindon or M5/M42/M40 which is our normal way for F1 weekend - at least we can get a bite to eat & a coffee this way.

Excellent weekend! MG6 looks good ~ just needs a rear spoiler, leather interior and some stripes Just need to clean the car again! 'Twas rather wet as we got about 2 miles down the road from Silverstone! Camping facilities vastly improved ~ lovely showers!

Some of my highlights include : -

Great to see some of mgf.be and another Belgian mgf owner who I think will be joining them very soon (hope he got home ok and that the coolant cap solved the problem), also guy from Luxembourg.

Thanks to Steve Tyler who despite being at MG Live racing took some time out to help telp and offer advice to the above troubled Belgian. Hope taht racing went well Steve!

Nicole, great to see yoiu again, I'll pass on your hello to Herbie very soon. Soon be Kempers again

Its always good to catc h up with people not seen for ages, as well as the regulars.

MG6 looks very good

Lastly but not least Well done Paul Luti and Team Dreadnought in the LE500

Race 1 = second overall, fasterst lap of the race and a new seris lap record
Race 2 = lead from the start all the way home


great weekend!

Outstanding event.

Why oh Why did I give up on our first MGF (and Club activaties), highlight of the event was the Circuit Tour, my brother had a 'birthday treat' in a single seater a couple of years ago BUT to do a couple of laps in your own car - AWESOME


After a very early morning start - a decent bacon breakfast (hope my doctor doesnt see this )

Looking forward to next year, in the meantime - Castle Drogo, Cornish Rivera Run, Battle of Britain Run & of course MGFifteen (we attended MGF 1st Birthday bash (& run) so this one is a must).
