Hi Gordon, Thanks for offering, and being able to set up the photograghs of some magnificent cars and their owners who are part of this forum. Looks like I am photograph Number 12 with the TF.Is it possible to identify the other owners? Great to put a name to the 'face'of someone I have,or will,communicate with in the future. Congratulations on the effort and I would encourage all interested parties to keep the photos coming. Cheers Rob. Grantham

Rob Grantham

Hi again Gordon, Oops!!! As usual Gordon, you are way ahead of me!Just noticed the owners name caption above the photo. Sorry and cheers. Rob. Grantham

Rob Grantham

Ok, thats 13....!!!! http://gblandco.com/gb/forum/forum.html

gblawson - TD#27667

Ok, this is really getting fun. Thanks Gordon for instigating this! Has anyone else looked at the root of this link? www.gblandco.com has an interesting business offering for us T-Type owners. warmly, dave

Dave Braun

Hello, Gordon, This is the best idea on this site since months or even years. Hope this becomes a portfolio of hundreds of TD's & Tf's!! Erik

Erik vanHardeveld

Gordon I agree with Erik! I would love to see a large portfolio of cars and their owners/caretakers. So far the individuals who have sent pictures to you are active on this BBS and it is great to put a face to a name. I also enjoy pictures of the cars as they are being worked on because a large number of us have been there, many times. I will also send you a picture of my mgtf by separate email. This picture is of the car the day my son and I picked it up in Vancouver BC and towed it home. Unfortunately I haven't even started to work on it yet...soon! Brian

Brian Smith

Will keep this site for owners and their cars...Its interesting, over the last two years with the group, I sort of have a preconceived notion of who looks like what...this has been lots of fun seeing the actual owners... Still need more of the regulars as well as newbies and lurkers... Please include your city/state/country...have had to go to the archives to find some of them. Anyone wanting to upgrade their photo with a new one, just send it along and I will replace the old one. Some are a bit fuzzy...I try and get an image that is 700 pixels wide. Ok, thats 14....!!!! http://gblandco.com/gb/forum/forum.html

gblawson - TD#27667

Ok, thats 17....!!!! http://gblandco.com/gb/forum/forum.html

gblawson - TD#27667

Gordon: My contribution just got emailed, plus all of my details and dreams for the beast, Thanks for taking on such a delightful project. Cheers, Dave J.

Dave Jorgensen

Hi Gordon Have just e-mailed details to you of my car. Should be a great site to look back on when everone responds with their photos. Cheers for now Richard

Richard Hyde

Keep the photos of 'cars with owners' coming... Sometime I will set up a 'cars only' page... 18

gblawson - TD#27667

Oh, and the bigger photo (digital), the better... I usually crop and or enlarge and some of them have come out a bit blurry.

gblawson - TD#27667

Hi All, Come on boys-we are'nt going to stop at 22 are we!!? So far I have really enjoyed putting a 'face, to a car, to the name and country! A unique opportunity. Whether your car is an everyday runner,in the process of restoraion,or a Concours type,would really enjoy seeing the owners from the many countries who are able to access this thread. Thanks again Gordon L. Cheers Rob. Grantham

Rob Grantham

I still have room for a few hundred more... don't make me fire up 'photoshop' and make up some interesting faces for you guys!!!!!!! Hmmmmmm

gblawson - TD#27667

Gordon, Thanks for using the shot of the TF, Did you get the shots of my TD also? If not (and if you still want them) I'll send them along. George Herschell

George R Herschell

Sorry George...missed the other photos...will shoot them on now...lets see, that must be 23

Since my aunt divorced Robert about 20 years ago is he still my uncle?

LED DOWNEY

gblawson - TD#27667

started so nice this thread, but seems it does stop now? Are it the readers of this thread or the starter of this thread?

JTM Mekes

Lets see John Progess Colin Ford Sandy Sanders Jim Rice Carl Floyd Greg & Grimm Gordon Clark Tom non-member Jesus Larry Shoer Austin Texas Would be nice to put a face to Craig Cody in his TD also. Sure there are a lot more. Where are you?

LED DOWNEY

Soon !!

Jim Rice

Brain Fart Evan Ford Colin Stafford Mark in Austin and numerous more

LED DOWNEY

LaVerne, Like it!!! I am lucky,my wife is really the computer literate one and had no trouble in sending in the photo! Cheers Rob. Grantham

Rob Grantham

Well, I'm gonna be awhile gettin my photo...been finishing the garage floor and have the TD in storage at a hangar. Soooo...won't be able to get a photo until all the work is done. But...I will! After I clean up the oil leak .... wink, wink...

dave lackey

Gordon, Where do I send a picture? Bob Doc

Robert Dougherty

Gordon I just emailed a photo of mt TD , what there is of it as now. Any more info you need let me know. We met in Tenn. at the show. Thanks John Shoemaker

John Shoemaker

Got mine of to you today thanks.. my grand son will like it on the internet with his lil' MG. I just happen to find an electric car with the same color and basic shape as mine... > grin <

mkg grogan

I was hoping to take a picture this week, but the weather is not cooperating. I'll send one soon.

Evan Ford - TD 27621

Gordon, Just sent a pic off to you. Thanks for doing this. I've often wondered what some of the people that ya type back & forth to really look like. So far, there have been many pleasant suprises. BTW, we are located in Sacramento, CA or more precisely, Elk Grove, CA & It's Dennis & Pat Rainey, TF-1500. Cheers - Dennis

Dennis & Pat Rainey

Just got back from a trip up north...will get the other photos on in an hour or so...

gblawson - TD#27667

Hi all, I see the 'MGA crew' are about to do a "foto" thread as well.Keep our photos coming! Cheers Rob. Grantham

Member 28 Is'nt the internet a wonderful place!. My original photo had a Rover P6 at the end of a row of MG's but now has an MG TD? in it's place. Check your photos very carefully. Good trick Gordon :-)

RAY LEE

gblawson - TD#27667

Hi, We do want this to become the longest thread ever, don't we? So sent in your pics!! erik

Erik vanHardeveld

37 photos Thanks Colin, John and Tom

gblawson - TD#27667

So... is that it? only 35 members of the forum? I mean, you don't have to dress up (well, Dave did), just grab a digital camera and hand it to anyone walking past....you know they stop anyway to ask what kind of car that is...just hand it to them and have your photo taken...."Hey....hey you...come back here with my camera"!!!!!!!

gblawson - TD#27667

Well said Gordon -- I thought that by now there would be well over 100 photos to enjoy... Getting a digital photo sent anywhere on the planet is an easy and instant process... Perhaps there have been a lot of folks away on vacation, as the end of summer is here, and they haven't visited the web site to be aware of the effort... Anyway, through the years of reading all the posts about this and that concerning the "mysteries" of my wee car, I had no way to put a face on the names of those who responded... This takes care of that, and our global expanse of owners and cars are just a click away... It doesn't matter where here is, as long as we are here... Cheers, Rod Macleod - TF 1500 - HDB46/6798 ("Molly")

Rod Macleod

My unrestored TD would look extremely rough among this fine selection of pristine TD's/TF's. Not to mention the owner sitting behind the wheel 8^) So: thanks, but no thanks.... Nick, 52TD/63midget/74MGB.

D.G.J. Herwegh

DGH... come on, we want to see everyone... Why, when Dave brings home his 'new' field find, I will photoshop him into the picture!!!!!

gblawson - TD#27667

Oops... its Bruce's field find....

gblawson - TD#27667

38 photos Thanks Nick Herwegh, and that was the 'patina' of mine when it came out of the barn!

gblawson - TD#27667

I understand Gordon. To most Canadians, Minnesota and Wisconsin are the same. But I can assure you Wisconsin is much prettier, but in Minnesota, the women are all good looking and the kids all above average. warmly, dave of Minnesota

Dave Braun

" . . . where the women are strong, the men are good looking, and all the children are above average" Thats ok Dave... I added a new photo of Bruce to the photo page to show off his latest...!!! We have a 'State' joke up here.... "There are lakes in Northern Canada that are so remote, only 5 natives, 3 Inuit and a family from Ohio towing a trailer have seen them..." (what that has to do with Minnesota and Wisconsin i don't know...)

gblawson - TD#27667

40 photos Thanks Evan Ford and George Merson....!

gblawson - TD#27667

I'm going to have to buy a TD just so I don't feel left out! :) While I don't have a TD (unless a YB counts as 3/4 of a TD) I do greatly enjoy seeing photos of all these cars, and especially of the owners. Thanks for doing this, Gordon!

Steve Simmons

The YB would be fine with me....

gblawson - TD#27667

To Gordon: Great idea and great work as usual. I'll send along a shot of the '53 as soon as I clear a little maneuvering space out of the garage. The '52 is really buried in the back garage and to be honest, I'm not absolutely sure it's still in there. I'll have another look this week. To Nick Herwegh: Glad you relented and included the picture. I love the way yours looks as is. Don't get me wrong, the rest are pretty, to be sure, but yours has a real unmolested, "survivor" look, you don't see very often. To Bruce Cunha: Is that the one I saw advertised on Ebay as "needing paint"? To All: Notice the common thread with the majority of the pictures submitted? It appears that the car's birthdates and the owner's birthdates are pretty much the same.

Peter Whelan

Thanks for the compliment Peter ! Actually I'm eleven years younger than my car...8^) I'm still in doubt about restoring my TD. Many people, among them Gordon and Jan Targosz, have commented on the original look of the car. And indeed it would be a pity to ruin the patina by doing a nut and bolt restoration. Recently I saw an article in a German magazine about the restoration of a pre-war car which was tackled in the same way as Gordon did with his TD, only this one had cracked leather and rubbed through paintwork et al... So maybe I'll try and preserve, rather than restore it using NOS parts etc. Pity only that it doesn't have the original colour anymore... Cheers, Nick, 52TD/63Midget/74MGB.

D.G.J. Herwegh

I was 6 years old when the TD came off the line! I was 30 when the p/o parked it and locked the barn doors...and 57 when it came out again!

gblawson - TD#27667

Hi All, I continue to really enjoy the photos of owners,cars,family members.The look of pride on faces says it all. Surely we can crack the 'ton'-100! Thanks again Gordon for this thread. Rob. Grantham

Rob Grantham

Thank you....Frank van Geldern The Netherlands http://gblandco.com/gb/forum/forum.html

gblawson - TD#27667

gblawson - TD#27667

Hi All, Nearly the half 'ton'!! Cheers Rob.Grantham

Rob Grantham

Special on #50.... the 50th photo will receive a special prize... send now and you will receive a self addressed and stamped envelope....good for....well who knows... I will have two reflectors left over...naawww.... I'll keep those....ummm.... I won't photoshop my car into your background...naww...too much fun. Heck... you will be #50, that should be enough!

gblawson - TD#27667

Gordon, apparently you are going to have to give us your vision of Sandy, Jesus, Mark, Etc. as they must be photo shy. I'm thinking there could be a calender here with the profits if any towards some charitble entity. Any other ideas? Also wondering what we have learned here. Looks like an add for the over the hill Rush Limbaugh club to me (please no offense intended, just an observation). Red appears to be a popular color also. LaVerne

LED DOWNEY

Gordon, Email an photo sent a while back (week or so). Did it make it? Grif

Stan Griffis

Stan...sent you an email.... Perhaps if I went back and used that 'field find' and labeled it with those we haven't seen yet....? Yes LaVerne... we all seem to have taken on "experience" in our appearance...and of course some of us have hair that is more 'experienced' than others!

gblawson - TD#27667

gblawson - TD#27667

Hey... Stan is a young guy...with hair ... and he kept the car and the kids!!!!

gblawson - TD#27667

What I have learned is I think George R. Herschell has one of the most beautiful TF's I have ever seen! Wow George ....I just love that coloure! LOL ;-) !! Cheers, David 55 TF1500 #7427

Just did a count and we have 50... not sure when I missed the count... Ok... who is 51?

gblawson - TD#27667

Not me. I'm 52 and I'm still not sure if Bobs my uncle.

gblawson - TD#27667

Where is #58... I'm 'bored'...!!!! And you know what happens when I'm bored?

gblawson - TD#27667

Gord, You stated that you wanted this to be the longest post on the BBS,, Well,,, In my memory, (getting shorter every year) the longest posting I remember was "How Old Are You" started by Master Dave, back in 2003 I have copied part of one which indicates that 82 responded,, There for, with 88 posts and counting,I believe you have succeded unless someone can find a longer one !!!! "David DuBois, Bremerton, WA, ddubois at sinclair dot net Now that the holidays are over and the dust has settled, I have finally tabulated all the responces to the above question and have some totals and averages to share with any of you who are interested. First of all, I would like to thank all of you who participated, complete with some of the more interesting comments that were added (Gord, with the weather that has come down from your area and has been hammering the Northeast states, I wonder is that 16 cords of wood you put in are going to be enough this year?). Ok, 82 of you responded to my question of How old are you and how long have you owned your T." etc Quando Omni Flunkus Moratati (Red Green) SPW

Steve Wincze

Hi All, A good start re the photo numbers but there must be hundreds,if not thousands,of other interested parties! Cheers Rob. Grantham

Rob Grantham

Marvin Stuart - Preston - CT - US and John Pflugi - Maple Grove - MN - US have added their photos..... 59 and counting

gblawson - TD#27667

I seem to remember a thread with well over 100 posts. I doubt there is a way to find it without manually searching the archives though.

Steve Simmons

The infamous "Wales"-thread on the Midget BBS went well over 500. And the "Buddha Bar" on Horizon stands on 2904 and counting (and I still don't get it what's going on there...). gblawson About the photo's: can I sneak in a photo of the Y or is it strictly limited to it's siblings; the TD an TF?

Willem van der Veer

As long as we can see a photo of you, and it came off the assembly line at Abingdon before '55, fine with me... this is more to see the owner/poster then the car!

gblawson - TD#27667

Willem is # 60 with his Y......

gblawson - TD#27667

Ok... this is a test (cause i'm bored)... how many times does my car show up on the photo page...? 4 6 8 12 16 ???

gblawson - TD#27667

Just once !!

Steve Wincze

pages

gblawson - TD#27667

Ah heck, if he gets his Y there then so do I! I'm sending one in. :D Besides, the Y-Type gave birth to the TD, right? Actually I think the TD is the evil offspring of the TC and YB. ;)

Steve Simmons

Oh, and for the record, this is post #100. :)

Steve Simmons

Gordon, Why am I holding a different steering wheel? warmly, dave

Dave Braun

Thats 'one'.....

gblawson - TD#27667

OK,,, Now I understand the "Test" Just hope my boss doesn't come by while I'm studying the photos !!! SPW

Steve Wincze

Ok Gordon, I owe you one. Think I should submit that one to the T register for a cover photo? I have already had a couple of members ask for parts off the car, so it was worth pulling out of that field. Bruce

Bruce Cunha

Gordon , Is that hidding in the trees behind "Tim Mayor" shot?

David Sheward

and upper left hand corner of "Bud Krueger"? and behind "Gary Krukoski" shoulder..... and behind "Jan Mekes"...... That's the only ones I can find? My eye's hurt ...somebody else look in the mirrors and chrome! Is that "6" times? Cheers, David

David Sheward

How about behind the tree in George R. Herschell Jr.TD?

Tim Mayor

Few more!!!!

gblawson - TD#27667

Hanging with Ray Lee at the shoe eh?

LED DOWNEY

in the background of Carl Fritz!

Willem van der Veer

All right! All right! I can't take this pressure! I have to leave shortly for a Rosh Hoshana dinner and will send you something after - (don't know if I can handle all that Manachevitz - Shoina Tova to my Jewish friends), but its not for Gord Lawson. We met in Gatlinburg and he knows how truly ugly I am. So I'll do some morphing in Photoshop that will make make me look "absolutely devine"! And please ... no fan mail! Stand by, GAC

Gordon A. Clark

Hey... he's right...he's really ugly!!!!!

gblawson - TD#27667

How could a guy named Gordon be ugly... unless that isn't his real name... the plot thickens... dave

Dave Braun

Come on guys and gals, don't let this die out. There are still a lot of BBS users who haven't sent in a picture of them selves and their car. Gordon is getting way too much time to customize the pictures so lets keep him busy posting the new pictures. Sorry Gordon! It has been fun seeing where your car turns up though. You sure do get around! Brian

Brian Smith

Actually we now have 66 photos posted... missed posting the names of the last 3 or so, however, they should be marked "new" under their photos..... Had a busy weekend with our GOOF which a friend and I hosted in Niagara Falls... 40 some odd (well, not too odd) people and 14 or so cars. Good British weather for our run Saturday morning, and a bit of sun for our picnic...great banquet Saturday night and successful auction and raffle. A good time was had by all!!! http://www.gblandco.com/gb/goof72/album/index.html

gblawson - TD#27667

Sorry to stray off topic, but I'll be in Niagra Falls next month. Any chance you want to meet up, Gordon? :)

Steve Simmons

You should have mail....

gblawson - TD#27667

So is Bob my uncle?

LaVerne

Must be going for a record on the number of posts on this one.

Bruce Cunha

Absolutely !! But there are still a lot of visitors from this BBS which didn't send in their photos. And those MGA guys are closing in on us (with some VERY fine photos)!!!!! Nick

D.G.J. Herwegh

There are some really nice photos on the A board... think maybe we should all go out on the weekend and either take a photo with the car, or update our old ones!!!! Keep them coming....haven't updated for a couple of days.

gblawson - TD#27667

Hi All, We are not anywhere near the base of 100 photos currently!Great shots of the cars/owners to date. Keep the photos coming. Cheers Rob. Grantham

Rob Grantham

Just send them, I will post them... am away for three days...back on Friday.

gblawson - TD#27667

We are coming close guys and we even have an mg td on the mga foto album http://users.pandora.be/mga_world/MG_A_Forum_Members/album/index.html serge

serge

Splendid collection of photos Serge ! And they still make me feel sad I had to sell my MGA years ago. However: your guys are still way behind in numbers 8^) All the best, Nick, 52TD/63Midget/74MGB PS: Who's going to tell him about that "td"......

D.G.J. Herwegh

Gordon, I'd like my steering wheel back. warmly, dave

Dave Braun

Only one letter off, eh? ;)

Steve Simmons

ok i was a little to fast i now it's an F or better MG TF

serge

Hey guys, love the pictures of cars in various states of repair! We have all been there at one time or another and it is really encouraging to see all stages. My TD took 5 years of work and tracking down parts but the last two years of driving it around have been fantastic. My MGTF was purchased March 5, 2005 from a fellow who had kept it in warm storage since 1981 when it was DRIVEN up to Canada from Texas. It is a low mileage original but needs a lot of wood work and some rust repair. It was purchased as a retirement project but has remained on the back burner for now. Hopefully I will get some pictures shortly to give to Gordon and then get some time to "restore" it. I will post a couple pictures at http://www.island.net/~btsmith/ later today. Brian

Brian Smith

Hi All, Come on all you TD and TF lovers and custodians,send those photos into Gordon L. while we have the chance! I know there are hundreds of other interested parties in USA,Canada,and all over Europe. Rob. Grantham

R GRANTHAM

Had a weird problem with my original photos file...have fixed it buy may have lost the last couple of postings... Can you check to make sure your photo is there? Dave...will replace all those changed with the next submission!

gblawson - TD#27667

Gordon, Do you want us to send in a replacement to those few you lost at the end Wayne

R.w. Styles

Yes, anyone who finds their photo gone please send again... I reduce the original (DUH) and use those... after playing around with putting names on all the slides in the group page, they just 'went away'!!!!

gblawson - TD#27667

69 members have contributed their photos... think we are back to normal as far as the missing ones.... http://www.gblandco.com/gb/goof72/album/index.html (bet you thought this thread would drop off the bottom of the page???)

gblawson - TD#27667

I can't seem to find the registration website or the list of owners. All I can ever get is the picture album. What is the URL I need?

Jim Merz

Isn't this supposed to be at the top of the page? It would appear that we still have some regulars that are camera shy. In many cases (mine for example) the cars are in better shape than we are. What are you guys afraid of? Have a third eye growing out your forehead? MG painted orange? Shag carpet interior? Come out from behind the curtain and join the club. Reveal yourselves.... Or not. I still don't think Bob is my uncle anymore. LaVerne

LED DOWNEY

Hello, I agree with Led Downey. Now we constantly push it upwards to place it on top. Isn't there a possibility, that a button is permanently placed on the site, that remembers us constantly of the possibility to sent in our photograph? Erik

Erik vanHardeveld

Hi All, Well said LaVerne and Erik.Whether you have a non-goer,are restoring a TD OR TF,have a 'patina car',or a concours type,we would really enjoy seeing the face related to the car! Cheers Rob. Grantham

Rob Grantham

LaVerne.... 'gulp'...mine had a semi shag on the tunnel when I got it.... And yes, 'Bob' is your uncle... If you have had an Uncle Bob, then no matter what, he is still your Uncle...unwritten law... Jim... not sure what you mean by 'registration' page... there is just the album with the names above the photos....

gblawson - TD#27667

What Jim doesn't realise, is that he has to mail a picture to you at: gblawson@vaxxine.com and then you will place it on your site?

Willem van der Veer

Ah ha! I am one who has not posted a pic yet. BUT, we have our Great Adventure tour coming up in less than 72 hours...so we will see! If not happy with those, how about a pic with my Halloween Trick or Treat mask whilst in the TD? LOL...

dave lackey

No accounting for taste is there Gordon? When I was in high school I recovered the side panels in my 63 Sprite with the self sticking vinyl shelf liner stuff. Quite a sight. Corvette metallic blue with a bright flower yellow interior. I particulaly enjoy the *then and now" photos on the MGA board and would like to see some from the long term owners here. More "in motion" shots too. The show shots are nice, but action ones like Matthew's tickle me a little more. At some point this thread will fade into history. Perhaps the photos could be moved to the picture site on the board for posterity. LaVerne

LED DOWNEY

OK guys, maybe I am confusing Gordon's album with another website. I thought I remembered trying to add the data concerning engine numbers and chassis numbers along with a picture. The picture of my car is included in the album.

Jim Merz

Jim... that is the T Register site... probably best to send a car photo only (which I have recieved a few of) to them. There are tons of sites to register cars/numbers... here we just want to see the 'guys' we are chatting with... You all (who haven't sent them yet) might like to clean up the car this weekend, take a shot with and without you in it and kill two birds with one stone...send me the shot of you and the car and send the T register the shot of just the car...there you are... Bob's still your uncle! (Yesterday I started shingling my shed roof...today it is pouring...no justice).

gblawson - TD#27667

Jim, Gordon, A clarification, or mabey adding to the confusion,, The other "album" site is the MGCC T Register site, not to be confused with the New England MG "T" Register site SPW

Steve Wincze

Hi Gordon, Your skills and effort in presenting these photos is so appreciated.Now you are really 'showing off'with the name and country linked to our treasures on the base shots!On the one hand,Bruce Cunha looking with that subtle pride over a new find and the youthful Tom Manion appreciating the complete, magnificent TD. Like it! Cheers Rob. Grantham

Rob Grantham

And me now topping up with the 'non lubricating' new oil!!!!

gblawson - TD#27667

Hey Gordon, Thanks for adding the word "new" to those new photos. It was getting difficult to pick out the latest additions. Very nice job and very much appreciated by all. Cheers - Dennis

Dennis & Pat Rainey

We now have 73 member's photos posted... still a few more 'regulars' to go... http://gblandco.com/gb/forum/forum.html

gblawson - TD#27667

Whats this doing down here?

LED DOWNEY

Tyler...stand beside it when you get it and take a photo...then when your done (hehehe) have another taken and we will have a before and after!

gblawson - TD#27667

Still a lot of names showing up on this BBS that don't appear to be represented by a picture of them and their car (or project). Any more of you willing to submit to Gordon? Brian

Brian Smith

Gordon, this is a great idea! I just sent you my pic of my '54 TF 1250.

Howard Battan

Thanks... ok, thats 75 or so...come on a few more from the regulars!!!!!

gblawson - TD#27667

Gordon, I sent ya a photo of me and the TD whilst on tour in the Smoky Mountains....heh, heh, but I (sneakily) hid my mug within the shadows. I promise to get a better one for you that actually shows the TD from the front. Maybe I can wear my Halloween mask ... LOL. Octagonlly thinking... DaveL

dave lackey

See we have some new ones.

LaVerne

I guess you know that there is sort of a contest between the MGA and MGT boards to see who can come up with the most pictures. I have contributed to both boards. There are some fantastic cars on both boards! This is a great way for people to see the quality of cars out there. Have a good day! John

John Progess

At the rate they are going, they are going to pass us in about a month....come on guys...still lots of room!!!!!

gblawson - TD#27667

Hi All, Gordon's 'photo album' has'nt cracked the 'ton'yet!Surely we can by December 25th. Cheers Rob. Grantham

R GRANTHAM

Ok... which of our regular's is missing????

gblawson - TD#27667

The MGA-gang has reached 78 photos ! But it looks as if they're cheating with some owners appearing on more than one photo....8^) Cheers, Nick, 52TD/63Midget/74MGB

D.G.J. Herwegh

looks like that this month only have 20 days, when a owner has 5 mga's (Derek Nicholson )and he sends me 3 pictures with him and 3 different mga's then i put them online also when a owner send me a picture from 20 or more years ago with his mga, but maybe you D.G.J.Herwegh, you can submit a picture of your 63midget, the first T series where also called midget....8^) http://users.pandora.be/mga_world/MG_A_Forum_Members/album/index.html

serge

Ooopppss, Sorry if I have offended you Serge ! Wasn't meant like that: my apologies. Anyway: you've got a deal. But I'm NOT going to send you a photo of my 63 Midget as this is stil under restoration and it would be out of tune with those splendid MGA photos. I'll send you a photo of my (ex-) MGA instead okay ? Cheers, Nick, 52TD/63Midget/74MGB

D.G.J. Herwegh

Tom Maine and Lew Palmer, who do frequent this site are missing. I know Tom is successfully recovering from surgery, and Lew is working dilligently on his Airline Coupe, all sorts of random electrical components, and still has time to offer some bang up ideas to smooth the registration for GOF Central in 2007 (Chaska Minnesota!) Those two need to send in pictures, if they don't I might! dave

Dave Braun

Gordon, I sent you a picture of my 53 TD but I must confess I also sent Serge a picture of my 56 A. However the A is a project car and the TD I drive now

C Tarr

Thanks Thoralf Sorensen - Norway, 81 photos.... http://gblandco.com/gb/forum/forum.html

gblawson - TD#27667

83 member's photos now on site... thanks Sid. http://gblandco.com/gb/forum/forum.html

gblawson - TD#27667

Hey! Sid's car looks just like mine! warmly, dave

Dave Braun

DAVE, SIMILAR, BUT YOURS IS MISSING THE BATTERY AND THE OIL PRESSURE GAUGE ON THE SCUTTLE HOOP !! SPW

Steve Wincze

Steve, My oil pressure gauge is indeed on my scuttle hoop, it is just facing the driver. My battery is located on the floor on the RHS, just as Sid's! dave

Dave Braun

Great action shot Matthew Magilton - Melbourne - Australia http://gblandco.com/gb/forum/forum.html

gblawson - TD#27667

Nice one! That's what it's all about!

Steve Simmons

Thanks guys. That photo was taken by club member Robin Page during our motorkhana at the grounds of the Rob Roy hillclimb. Rob Roy is leased by the MGCC of Victoria who have a very good gallery in their website. The conditions are unusually dusty because of the drought affecting south eastern Australia. Some competitors even had to stop and pause for the dust to settle so they could see the next marker. Cheers, Matthew.

Matthew Magilton

Cetainly a lot of other TD/TF's in those photos...any other members of the forum in there?

gblawson - TD#27667

Unfortunately, no. Although I do 'spread the word'. I dont know why there are not more Aussies in the forum. I know of 1100 TF's that came to Australia and more than half would still be around.

Matthew Magilton

Hi, Just to put it on top again.................. Erik

Erik vanHardeveld

looks that we finaly beat you T owners http://users.pandora.be/mga_world/MG_A_Forum_Members/album/index.html

serge

Actually, you have tied our members... 83/83 Come on guys...someone send me a photo...!!!! There again...there were 30,000 TD's and 10,000 TF's (give or take)...and there were 100,000+ A's.... I would say we are way ahead by percentages!!!

gblawson - TD#27667

When i have a closer look i think that we beat you T owners a week ago,84 pictures in the MG TD-TF album. Picture nr 1 doesn't count i think becaurse there is no MG or owner. Picture nr 48 and 49 seens to be the same picture Picture nr 84 and 76 I don't think that this is an MG TD or TF so 84 -4= 80 so 80/84 serge

serge

I would say 80 T-cars are worth about 160 A's... ???

gblawson - TD#27667

True, photo 1 doesn't count. But the Y-Types are open to interpretation. They are basically a TD with a saloon body on them, but came before the TD was made and carried a different model name. Ok, the Y-Types count for 1/2 a TD each. How's that for a compromise? ;) And on that note, Arnolts will also count as 1/2 TD.

Steve Simmons

Got one more.... thanks Curt!!!

gblawson - TD#27667

Hi Gord: check your email - I finally got mine [with me in the picture,] to you. June deadline - I think we'll make it... Dave Jorgensen <djorgensATtelusplanetDOTnet>

And two more... thanks Seamus and Steve....

gblawson - TD#27667

Gordon: I don't believe how fast you got my picture posted. Your commitment to BBS is unbelieveable. You are to be commended!!!Always good to read your posts. Regards, SEAMUS

F. HEALY

Seamus, No what is that J2 doing in your photo that we don't have on the North American Triple-M Register? (And maybe even not on the MG Car Club Triple-M Register.) Send me your email and details of the car (chassis, engine, etc. and I get you membership details. Cheers, Lew Palmer

Lew Palmer

Hi All, About 2 weeks to Christmas and we promised Gordon L the 'ton' in photos! So close now. Cheers Rob. Grantham

Rob. Grantham

Hi Lew: My '32 J2 was restored in 1982 by Brian Wilson, Oxfordshire,UK (NOT the Beach Boy) and has just over 2000 mi. since. It bears its original Bluemels number plates (RV2595) and was purchased new by Lt.G.H.C. Dickens, RN (not Registered Nurse, but Royal Navy) who was the grandson of Charles Dickens. The Chassis is #J2107 and original engine was #633AJ which blew up at Pendine Sands, Wales in the 50s. Wilson replaced it with engine #2009AJ. The car is exactly like it left the factory Oxford and Cambidge blue with the options, as Dickens ordered them, of headlight stone guards, leather bonnet strap, brooklands wind screens, brooklands wheel, clock, temp. guage and luggage rack. The car is registered with MMM Register UK #1484. The car is featured in 1982 Automobile Quarterly volume XX no.4, MG by Ian Penberthy, 1982 Triple M Yearbook, 1983 The Automobile (December) and Classic Cars April 1985. This car sold at Christies in 1983 for a then record price of GBP 14,000. I have owned the car since 2004 and have taken first at every show so far. I wish I had this much info on my TF (#1260) but at least the TF is not 'too nice' to be an every day driver. SEAMUS

Hi All, 1 week to Christmas! Can we 'crack' the 100!? Cheers Rob. Grantham

Rob. Grantham

Thanks Ron Tarr... one more photo....!

gblawson - TD#27667

Thanks Rui.... that brings us up to 92 members, 94 photos!

gblawson - TD#27667

Great Job !!! I would like to know a little bit about the blue one next to Rui's TD !!!! SPW

Steve Wincze

It's a De Tomaso. The picture was taken during a lunch of MG and Alfa Clubs.

R Roda

Hey.... 3 more! Thanks John and Lou...!!!!

gblawson - TD#27667

It's getting close - MGAs 96, TD/TF 97 (not counting the first pic) ... I'm sure Serge will claim bragging rights if he's first to the ton. David

David Wardell

Thanks Bud... another one... come on, we need at least 3 to make up for a couple of doubles!!!!

gblawson - TD#27667

I think we have to apply the "rules" in a more creative way gentlemen ! The MGA-gang is using archive photos too.... Probably someone here with a nice B&W photo of the MG T-type he USED TO OWN ......8^) If we continue this race in a much too nice manner, we are not going to be at one-hundred photos as a first ! Cheers, Nick, 52TD/63Midget/74MGB

D.G.J. Herwegh

Thanks Bud and Graham... ok... one more!!!!

gblawson - TD#27667

Thanks Lou...

gblawson - TD#27667

At the moment I'm #100 with my split photo, this should count as 2 photos with one taken in 1964 and the other in 2006. Wayne

WayneS

To Gordon Lawson(Canada), A big thankyou and appreciation for your idea and work setting up the "Faces associated with Cars exercise." I feel the concept you developed this year has linked TDers and TFers around the world in a more personal,meaningful way with useful technical and social banter being interchanged.With literally thousands of TDs and TFs in USA alone,it would be gratifying to see 200 faces up by Christmas eve next year! Cheers and Merry Christmas Rob. Grantham

R GRANTHAM

Thanks Greg...two more.. that puts us over the 100... Merry Christmas everyone...!

gblawson - TD#27667
