It was recently brought to our attention that entries to the guestbook were not making it through.  After a long investigation it was found that this was due to the over aggressive application of anti-spamming preventative measures.  A 11,866 page long error log was examined in detail and the 15 genuine entries that had been caught in there have now been extracted and added to the guestbook to bring that fully up to date.  Notes of apologies have been sent to each of the contributors together with an offer to help the one person who had experienced some difficulties navigating the site.

If you notice something not working as you would expect it to, then please feel free to contact the Webmaster and let us know.

In August 2009, Andrew and Arlene Coulson put on a wonderful tour of Yorkshire for the UK MG Y Types.  Andrew and Arlene have sent in theirreport and it looks like a great time was had by all.  Thank you both for providing such a fun report and such a great run.  I am sure everyone who went on it, and those who could not, will want you to do another soon!

David Mullen provides the October Picture of the Month with a photograph of him, his father, and his MG Y from 1984.

The Reprinted Article continues in 2007 with an article from MG Enthusiast and features the MG Ys of Jack Murray and David Hague.
