An enjoyable day in Darlington today…
Terry’s MGF 75th Anniversary, ‘The Chairman’, needed a couple of things sorting, nearside wishbone replaced and top ball joint, unfortunately we didn’t have the correct arm for the rear with us in the van 🙄 We shall return on Sunday on our way to Scotland to fit one!
Lovely to see Terry and Craig, as always and have a bit of a natter, big thanks to Terry for his lovely hospitality, especially so for his thoughtfulness for the veggie option for the fussy veggie! 😋
We then went a couple of miles along the road where it was lovely to see Mervyn and Janice again. The minor service was due on their LE 500 (number 394 and paint code 111), plus the EML was showing and on code reading it was found to be down to a checksum error.
Mervyn will be taking this car to the Le Mans Classic in June this year. Wish we could go, that’s twice now in the last couple of weeks we’ve been asked to go! Hope you have a fab trip Mervyn and meet up with Mark & Alan et al who we mentioned to you.
Although Terry and Mervyn live only 3 miles apart and both own an MGF 75th Anniversary, in the same colour (Mulberry), they had never seen each other or their cars until they, by chance, were staying at the same B&B when they were staying over after the ‘MGF 25’ event in Gaydon last year and happened to park side by side in the car park! There’s always a story with these fab cars. 😀 – https://ift.tt/loY65Dq
