Morning, in today's extra upload I talk about changing things around a bit in the garage, and what is set to leave for pastures new.

The centre of Newcastle-under-Lyme was turned over to classic cars earlier in the year, today's video captures the attendees.

Today's video captures the many sightings at last month's Combermere gathering, located close to the Cheshire/Shropshire border. A great many cars turned up including several pre-war beauties.

In today's short upload, I check out a S. African market Cooper S and play "spot the difference" compared to domestic market cars.

One of our highlights of the year is the Gawsworth Hall classic car show, where many gems we rarely see anywhere else pop along for a very civilised day out. Today's video features most of them!

With two now departed, it's time to bring in a new four-wheeled arrival.

Goodness me! Has Rick seen the light? Laughing

From what we have seen, that is a well sorted MG PA. It looks lovely!

I assume you are connected with the MMM register...if not:

https://www.triple-mregister.org.

Is there any history with the MG?

Very nice Smile

Were you out in it this morning? I saw something very similar coming from your direction, turning on to the main road by Acton Church at around 7:30?

We were out this morning (filming a special video actually) but not in the MG!

Ray - yes it's registered with the MMM register (note badge on the front) but I'm not yet a member.

Morning all, in today's upload we're off to the Great British Jaguar Day at Bicester, an event dreamt up by TV's Chris Harris and his podcast amigos. Weather was excellent, the turnout likewise, only our return trip home was somewhat less than perfect ...

Hi, two uploads went live earlier, the first is a few pointers about bulb swaps on the XJ8 (X308) type.

A fun one today - we're off to visit a retirement project where a 1960s/70s ESSO garage is being re-created, complete with a used car lot outside.
