Oxted MG - Collection of the MGB
Discussion
And so it all began upon spotting this dubious character lurking around Kings X.
Would he try and sell me drugs? Crack whores perhaps? We rapidly departed, well meandered our way across the steaming metropoplis of Marakesh, err i mean London!
He wanted me to assist in collecting a car in deepest darkest Surrey, but what would it contain? Actually what was in his left hand? Drugs maybe?
Well who knows but it sure wasn't coolant! After spending what seemed an eterinty the beast was ready, freshly fuelled and with the life giving coolant installed.
So we departed on our trans-county odyssey, well eventually after i managed to coax the bizarre gearbox into gear!
And we're off.
We stopped for our second scheduled stop at the 'Dog 'n' Duck' at Wellyburgh for refreshment before heading off home.
Where Justin finally got to drive his new baby on a private road, well drive!
A rather pleasant and different evening, harking back to the past when every journey was an adventure with noisy unreliable cars and much sliding round roundabouts! Think the guys in the Z3 got a shock

Hope the poor thing is OK today after it's bath last night.
Justy, have you tried to start it today?

It was still quite wet whe I moved it earlier this morning onto a sunnier part of the drive. First half a churn on the starter, and it was running fine. Alan is right it is a sturdy old B-Series.
Just insured it, the paperwork should be here for 1st August, so will stick 6 months TAX on it. I dont mind lending it out providing its respected, after all it will need using.
