Graham, I'll be glad to hear of what's going on in Australia - even
though it does seem so far away! There's some comfort though in the
knowledge that "when I lay me down to sleep" someone, somewhere is out
driving their MG!
Philip Raby needs to be thanked for doing his part in keeping the rest of
us up to date with what is happening in the UK. When you can't drive the
MG, writing about the marque is almost as much fun. Don't know whether
you get the magazine BRITISH HERITAGE in Australia but the February issue
had an article about Cecil Kimber and the MG Car Company that I had a lot
of fun putting together.
Keep up the good work all of you!
Regards Padre
