The MGF Register Forums

Is there a list of the topics to be covered in the lectures at MGF20, I understand Mike Stafford is talking about the MJS tubbies but what about the others.

The list of topics that I believe will be presented are ......

10:30 Chris Flanagan - KV6 Fitment
11:00 Mike Stafford - Turbo Conversion
11:30 Rob Bell - Project Shed
12:30 Roger Parker - Rebuild of his MGTF
13:30 Ian Pogson - TFs in the Chinese Era
13:30 Steve Harper - Early Designs of the MGF

All will be the lecture theatre in the museum. Times/topics may change slightly on the day.

Hope everyone enjoyed the lectures (and found the lecture room)?

Well yes I found the room, well I think it was THE one, but was too busy outside meeting people and looking at cars to get to the lectures. Driving down in the morning then home that afternoon was not ideal but that's the way it had to be.

Yeah found the room quite easily, no wonder been there before unfortunately I was only able to hear , and see, Shed's story in the whole and missed out on most other lectures as the day was too busy for me. A very well spent day! Would be nice if there were some resumes of the lectures. As I'm convinced there are more like me.

I missed everything as busy helping elsewhere anybody take notes or videos?

Loved the lectures..Ian Pogson and Steve Harper were totally brilliant..I found Roger's a bit train spotterish..it wasn't about his build of his TF ..it was Longbridge's build of his TF..Lots of pictures of the assembly line..couldn't get enthusiastic about that..although others could and did..

Missed the others and regret it...

More please...

I have the Power Point presentations for each of the lectures. Ian has given permission to use his slides - and ofcourse, more than happy to share mine. I would need to seek permission from the others. I suspect that Roger's production line talk may not be reproducible as this is going to be subject to publication in MG Enthusiast - but I can ask.

PS I have been thinking about arranging a techie "MG Geek Fest" with talks on how to do stuff on our cars, how to modify and generally chat about ideas and have Q&A sessions. Good idea or no chaps?

Good idea, I'm up for asking questions like I did durring the KV6 lecture.

That was the only one I attended, Mrs TC didn't find it at all interesting and wanted to do the musesum........

I'll be there if I have the opportunity.

Similar to the T Register's really successful yearly Rebuild Day then. Here there are several talks and demonstrations given and it's really really good

That's a bloody terrible idea Rob!!



I mean it's not as if we have enough to do modifying and generally fettling our babies .............................. sorry cars .

MG Geek Fest...should copyright that.

LOL! Okay, I am thinking of doing something at Kimber house one Saturday or Sunday. Perhaps themed to one subject? James, I think the MGF20 lectures in the morning were for a very narrow audience, so not surprised that Mrs TC might have felt the urge to see something else, but with MG Geek Fest, I think the warning is in the title!

YES! That would be great, just catch a plane and I'll join.

I don't think she would come with me TBH Rob, my son might.

i saw 3 of the lectures, including Robs. I enjoyed all of them and appreciate the sheer effort their preparation must take. the only reason I didnt go to all of them was there was a lot to do and see outside so you had to choose.
Thanks to Rob for his, and for bringing Shed, which is now a really great track car, hard earned.

Much appreciated Stan!

Any thoughts on how to kick the series off? (See, I am thinking of many, each on different themes... I must be crazy! )
