The archive is great and it is a brilliant resource. However, it is rather insular. Although a question may have been raised before, I would much prefer for it to be raised again instead of just looking at the archive. That way the friendships and the contacts which this bbs fosters will continue. Wishing you all a Happy Christmas and a prosperous New Year.Lionel TD3490

That’s why ‘global warming’ was renamed ‘climate change’. It wasn’t warming enough and no-one can dispute that the climate changes.

When I had my TD and TF I was a member of the Octagon Car Club which is a limited company and thus they had to produce annual accounts which could be viewed on line. The club did however display them in one of their regular magazines. I believe the MGOC is a company limited by guarantee amd they must also produce and submit annual accounts.

When I owned the Sprite I was a member of a car ...

Huh! Hottest indeed. Not here 'oop north' long, cold dry spell followed by lots of rain from 'mid summer'onwards.
But then I guess climate change means more extreme weather events, not necessarily hotter. Could be wetter too. Definitely Doomed whether you pi$$ into the wind or not,

Yesterday the Met Office announced that 2025 will likely be the hottest year since records began as climate change continues to drive temperatures to new heights.

Just to give you all some comfort: Bud and I have been communicating on this and have talked about various hosting alternatives. There is no absolute solution, as is the case for all world things, but rest assured that the content is all secure. We both have local copies of everything.

Perhaps the bigger concern, and one I will pursue, is to back up the forum archives. The Web Admin has bee...

I joined the other forum years ago because I thought I might have something to share about MGB's. The T series activity was just about nothing. For years I tried directing people to this site because of the vast knowledge and experience. I made the mistake one time posting a link to here and found that the person used that link posted questions and they showed as my posts. I couldn't remember my ...

I am aware that two members are currently barred from AHC and I have been told, by someone with a broad overview of Classic Car Clubs, that such matters are not uncommon.

I refer to the Midget & Sprite Club which I have been a member since the early 90’s.

In 2023 I was ‘barred from representing the club on the stand at the NEC’ my sins being to show the then directors to b...

Yes, but what specific complaint?

You aren't forced to join. You join because you want to, for the 'benefits'.

They charge you a fee for the benefits they say they provide.

Jeremy, Guy, didn't you get any or all of those benefits? Is that why you complained?

Are some clubs run for a profit? Is that known when you join? If so, where's the basis to complain?

I've driven a 1275 with a knackered TV damper and the problem RPM area is around 5500RPM for a standard engine, IIRC it's mentioned in Vizard, the issue was quite a noticeable rumble as it went through the range but as I was aware of the issue I didn't stay there and kept it above or below the problem area. Maybe marking the TV damper ring and centre with paint will give an indication of whether t...
