a silver S-reg VVC (apparently), located at a workshop/petrol station just outside Rheindahlen JHQ. Asked the mech it she was for sale, no says he, it's a repair job. Probably belonging to a serviceperson who is still working in Mönchengladbach - the facility is being closed down end of this year.

Met a string of various MGs from vintage to MGB roadsters coming the other way along a country lane near Sywell. An MGB driver waved and then I flashed a burgundy MGF near Ecton Lane in Sywell and got flashed back.

After the trouble I've been having with my MGF this cheered me up no end. 8-)

Spotted a couple of bright blue TF's on the Widnes / Runcorn bridge a few times during the morning 'rush' (lol) hour now now - one soft top going towards Runcorn and one Hard top going towards Widnes.
Was it you?

Just around the corner from where we live is a green MGF and a green 75 tourer - i think they could be copying us!

Also saw a silver MGF parked up just outside the park last night - getting quite popular around these parts - it's like a mini meet somedays - apart from nobody ever says "Hi" or waves... :(

We saw quite a few F’s and TF’s this time while in the UK ... apart from those we met at the Essex Roadsters’ BBQ of course.

The others were:

R885 VLY in Southwark close to Blackfriars Bridge on Sunday, 19-3 -- a 1997 VVC in VGC, full red leather interior, and from the colour (Charcoal or possibly X-Power grey, was quite light in tone) maybe had a respray. The boot rack and headlamp converters still being mounted give a hint to a recent continental journey?
R885VLY.JPG
A15 PCJ on the M4 between Reading East and Central, also on Sunday around 18:30 -- a nice Mk2 in BRG with a double twin exhaust. We were following but unrecognised in the family van. 8-)
A15PCJ.JPG
On Monday, 20-3, it were two silver TF’s, one at 10:30 in Devizes, Wiltshire (sorry, couldn’t get the reg) and the other one was YK52 ??? at 16:30 in Glastonbury.

In the evening (18:30-ish), we saw an oncoming red F on the A27 between Havant and Portsmouth (we were driving in the opposite direction).

After another stressful day at work, it was nice to drive home a little late at 16:00 hrs in between Goole & Howden (East Yorks) and see a silver then a black MGF pass me going towards Howden.

In Stockton Heath (Warrington) today at lunchtime, parked up a side road near 'The London Bridge' pub I saw a nice BRG F with a luggage rack on it and coming back a lovely dark blue F speeding towards 'The Stag' pub.

Anyone on here?

For the last two days @ approx 5:25pm I've spotted a silver MGTF with a grey soft top going over the Widnes Runcorn bridge towards Runcorn (near the railway station) with it's roof UP on both glorious sunny evenings.

This is as good as summer gets!!!
Get the roof down - What are you waiting for man???

:roll:
