If the weather is going to be as crap as the forecast I don't think I'll bother...

**Matt Parker** 13/4/2012, 8:11 am

Just seen there is actually a map for the event and MG Uk have decided to make an appearance Big eyes!

As you may be a aware I wont be convoying with you lot as I will be just attending when I can be bothered to get up (on a go slow this week and Ive been suffering with the flu, started last weds) Both cars are dirty and in need of a good clean which will not happen in time due to being ill so I will just give what ever I can be bothered a quick once over so its sort of respectable.

Change of plan.

Will meet up at Longbridge.....

**Captain Slow** 14/4/2012, 5:31 am

I'm not going to come now, being honest I'm exhausted and a 6am start won't do me any favours.

Have fun!

Hi Paula. We're planning on getting there quite early ourselves too as we've got a stand to set up. Not really sure where a good meeting point would be though. Be sure to pop over and visit though!

Massive thanks to Lee for the strips & of course Nick & Ray for the birthday pressie. My couple of shots below but Tony's album below tells the better story.

When previous owners aren't exactly honest... Takes people like us to rescue them and then look after them as they should be. That's also probably why we give them names! Laughing

Scant comfort I know but at least with a John Norris fix it's out of the way

**andyhells** 16/4/2012, 6:00 pm

Just spotted a familiar face in this picture from a report of PoL from Classic Car Weekly that was posted on Metro Owners Club, its a good job that the print was blurred otherwise everyone would be scarred of the sight Laughing
