14/04/2017 20:40:20 Martin C Well I missed you all so much and I had the chance to acquire a car I've known for the last 8 years that the lure was too much for me to say NO! I have just acquired an 04 ZS 180 saloon, a car some of you may know as it belonged to Abingdon Works Centre committee member Malcolm Bailey. Although many of you may know better because he is the owner of the Police MG BGT V8 patrol car. Malcolm and I were members of the New Forest Branch of MGOC back then and he bought the car just after I got "Ruby" my old 120. I admired it greatly then, X-Power grey, full black leather, etc. and I stumbled across the fact it was for sale and knowing Malcolm is fussy - like me - about how he keeps his cars I contacted him and now it is mine. 75,000 miles, full and comprehensive history and whilst not concours condition very nice. So it's nice to be home, no pictures as photobucket won't play and upload them at the moment. Right off to re-join MGCC now.

15/04/2017 09:12:50 Steve Hill Good news Martin. Better get your name down on the CC1 reserve list! :)

15/04/2017 16:45:20 Mike Hall Great to see you back where you belong Martin :) M + M

16/04/2017 14:39:52 Dave Fantastic :D Can't wait to see you back on track with a Z car. You were quick enough in the 120 so I want to book my passenger ride in the 180 now![CENTER][COLOR=#FFFFFF]Save[/COLOR][/CENTER]

18/04/2017 19:40:28 Martin Holmes I echo everyone's comments and how wonderful you have acquired a car you will clearly cherish. It's very good to have strong supporting members coming back to the fold and as a past Chairman the Club will always owe you a massive debt so it's quite fitting that you are coming back to enjoy yourself again. Welcome back!! Bests Martin

21/04/2017 13:01:03 Martin C Had a nice chat with Andy Knott and membership renewed, as old members kept on file I still have old membership number. [B]Steve[/B] sent James Mumford an e-mail :) [B]Mike[/B]Thanks matey give my regards to Amanda and see you both at MG Live? [B]Dave[/B] You haven't seen the 'T' shirt I have that states " The older I get the FASTER I WAS" :eek: As always though happy to take a pax out, especially when it is wet, remember I love the wet :D [B]Martin[/B] Thank you for the kind words mate. BUT one thing is for sure, the club owes me NOTHING. Like all past and present committee members, I did what I did because I thought I could help at that time, nothing more, nothing less. :cool: [B]AND[/B], before anybody asks, no I don't want to join the committee :p

21/04/2017 17:31:09 NigelS Great to see you fully back again Martin. I know Malcolms' ZS 180 - you have yourself a good buy as it has definitely been looked after. I knew we were keeping those committee vacancies for someone:D

22/04/2017 09:40:20 Martin C [QUOTE=NigelS]I knew we were keeping those committee vacancies for someone:D[/QUOTE] :p :p :p I've had the limited edition 'T' shirt, blah, blah! So move on Sir, nothing to see here. :D
