September MGB Register Meet
n Friday 16th September we held
O an MGB Register meeting at the clubrooms as a part of the weekly " Noggin ' n ' Natter ".
There was a reasonable turn out of faces, both B and non B owners, but there were only 4 MGs in the car park. This was all hardly surprising however given the recent lousy weather and night temperatures.
Particular thanks go to the Cardnell ' s for their support and contribution with the food, especially given they had held the MGA ** register meet at their place only the night before, so they must have been " registered out " by the end of the night.

During the evening we showed a UK documentary entitled " MG-The Legend ", which was followed by the last quarter of the Bulldogs / Hawks finals thrashing.
So thanks to all the die-hards who came and supported the evening.
Looking ahead to the next event, this will be in December and will be a car run, so stay tuned.
** PS: there is an interesting article in the October 2016 edition of " Classic and Sports Car " which compares the MGA Twin Cam very favourably with the Porsche 356B, Alfa Giulietta Sprint and Lotus Elite.

The MGB EX234
here is a very interesting article on page 202 of the July issue of the UK ' s " Classic & Sports Car " magazine entitled " The Sports Car That Could Have Saved MG ". http:// www. classicandsportscar. com
It is about a Pininfarina bodied prototype, coded EX234, with hydrolastic suspension and developed in 1965 and which still exists having recently been auctioned by Bonhams for £ 63,100( AU $ 110,158) including premium.
Destined originally for greater things, this car had only a 1275cc " A-Series " engine, but for all that it seems to go Ok..
