Another one of the MGF Registers BIG weekend out was at the Abingdon Air & Country Show (following on from Donington Historic, Highlander and Brands hatch racing !) - Which one were yout at ?
It was cold to start with at Abingdon but warmed up a bit in afternoon in time for the air displays - usual mix of stalls, exhibits, tanks, re-enactments, falconry, ferrets, llamas, classic cars, aeroplanes, helicopters (including one flying upside down - how do they do that ?), singers, fairground and...MGs !
Here's some pics for a taster of the event......

Re: Abingdon Air & Country Show
Nice photos. Thanks. I was looking at Richard's photos on Facebook as well, looks like you had nice weather. One question though, how does the owner of the LE500 keep the front so immaculate without any stone chips? Mine's been resprayed once already, and could probably do with it again but then it must be said I have 26k miles of lots of motorway driving.

Agreed. An excellent day out - and much, much warmer than when we were last there in 2010!

Re: Abingdon Air & Country Show
Have to admit it is not a high mileage car, but the front bumper has been resprayed (under warranty) and the Chipex Touch-up Kit gets frequent use.
