Nice one mark,cheers,wonder what happened to that car?

I think a chap called Garry Wilson had it for a bit - the same guy that's got a 6R4 now! - and then Roger Binton. I'm pretty sure an MG XPower Forum member was restoring it a couple of years back, but I cannot recall his name or username.

Thats out of order

Captain Chaos- 02-19-2008

That's the chap Garreth - Levi 501. Not very good ethics was it - tut, tut!

To be honest I'd forgotten all about it until I saw the post about the car. I think I sent it from work anyway so it didn't actually cost me anything :lol: not the end of the world..... Garreth
