Webmaster 21 March 2010 Thank you to everyone who wrote into Hagerty - they have informed me that they have had an overwhelming and very favorable response from you all concerning "your" site, for that is what it is - yours. To quote Hagerty "many of you wrote in and now you are clearly on our radar. Not only is the site good, you must have a very dedicated bunch of viewers". They have promised to let me have a copy of the results of your petitioning them in due course and I will provide you with that feedback. Glad you are clearly enjoying the site still and approve of all the recent changes - we will try to keep them coming: that of course depends on you!

Webmaster 10 March 2010 For US owners, this is probably the best news in a long time ... University Motors is back in business with John Twist at the helm. Here is a statement from John. When, nearly one year ago, as the Michigan economy was collapsing and my wife Caroline's health failing, we had no option but to cease fulltime business. During the following seven months I cared for Caroline as the cancer sapped her strength, but never her will. Spending increasingly greater time with her at home, I simply could not attend to business. We sent notices to our customers thanking them for their years of support. We sent notices to our suppliers; we discharged our employees with severance; we had an auction to sell off shop equipment and MG memorabilia. Caroline died in January. As I pondered my future, I could not escape the undeniable fact: MG is my destiny. We are now re-awakening University Motors. My son, Brooks, has taken his mother Caroline's place in the office, we have two of our original mechanics back at work, and we are working to re-invigorate University Motors. We offer bench, line, and restoration services, as well as MG education via DVDs and technical seminars, on-site and off-site. Our new website will be online soon. We are not yet at speed but we are on the entrance ramp to full time business. Our old advertisements read: A lifelong dedication to the marque. That statement is as true today as it was when we first used it. Thanks to all who have supported us through this very dismal and heartrending time. We hope to be of service to you during your MG ownership. I am sure any one who has had any interaction with John will join in wishing him well with the renewed venture. Webmaster 7 March 2010 Bienvenue to our latest entry to Ys on Parade - Jean Marc Aubergier and YT 3377! Webmaster 1 March 2010 Ursula and Manfred Noll-Baues in their YB 1076 provide this month's Picture of the Month. The Reprinted Article, comes from Classic Cars Magazine, May 2008 and is a short piece where they test cars that were currently for sale - an interesting short report. Mike Silk, notified me of a new film with an MG Y in it - the Fast Lady. A synopsis and still shot has been added to the Ys on Film, and other media page. Permission is currently being sought to include a short clip from the film too which may come later.
