Hello, Newbie from Notts.

Post by Spark135 » Sun Nov 14, 2010 10:01 am

Hi everyone. After visiting your Stand at the N.E.C. yesterday, I was prompted to say "hello" by John (aka sparky135).

I purchased my first MG after almost 30 years of TR7 ownership in the summer, a 135 Spark for my partner, Lyn, to run as a second car during the warmer months. By coincidence, John also owns the same Limited Edition in the same colour of Sonic Blue, so we had something in common from the start.

Apart from the TR7V8 D/H in Persian Aqua which I've owned since 1985, my everyday transport is a modified Toyota Celica Gen 7, and I hope to be of help to some of you in areas such as detailing and also wheels and tyres.

The Register doesn't seem to have a sub section for the East Midlands, or am I missing something?

Regards..Kev.

Welcome :D

There isn't an East Midlands section as such but the Midlands/heart of England section covers both ends of the A/M42 for things like main events and Sunday lunch meet up's. You don't say exactly where you are but I would say have a look for a local MG club but that can be a bit of a problem in Notts.

Hi Kev.

Great to talk to you on Saturday and pleased you made it onto the forum.

Firstly, welcome to the MGF Register forums and I look forward to seeing you around the boards.

Whereabouts in Notts are you? I'm sure you told me on Saturday but I spoke to many, many people over the weekend and can't just recall where you said you were.

We do have a Midland section (Heart of England) which may be accessible to you. Drop in to the Heart of England forum and say Hi. I'm sure you will be made welcome and there may be some meets accessible to you.

As you are East Mids, keep an eye out in the coming days for a New Region we are hoping to announce. This may be easier for you. Watch this space. ;)

In the meantime, join in on the forum and feel free to add anything you think will be of interest.

Don't forget, we are having an MGF Register Xmas Lunch on the 5th December at the Dog House near Abingdon All are welcome and it would be an ideal opportunity to meet up with fellow MGF Register members.

Welcome to the MGF Register forum Kev :thumbsu:

Keep an eye on the Midlands area of the forum for local events. We try to have a pub natter and a Sunday lunch once per month. This month the Sunday lunch may be different so watch the midlands area of the forum for details.

Thanks for the welcome you guys :)

I'm a few miles north of Nottingham, John. I'll be involved with the Chesterfield MG Group next year (the Membership Secretary there has yet another 135 Spark in Sonic), but I'll also keep a close eye on what's happening on this Forum too. A new region would be great, Lyn and I would be very interested as we are keen to learn about the TF and the mods. available.

These Sonic Blue Sparks are common as muck aren't they. :lol:

Please do keep a close eye on the forum. And many thanks for the offer of the assistance. I'll certainly bear it in mind.

Speak to you soon. :thumbsu:
