    What, so there is some other way to do a vasectomy?

    Pretty sure I'll not be rushing out to get a new MG

    Any modern day MG is not a real MG. Even if they replicate the classic lines of the TF, TC or TD, is just won't be the same.

    I grew up with MG's (hence my disliking to chrome - cleaning wire wheels was the way my father punished me!) My mum had a Magnette 20 years, dad had a couple of TF's and also an MGC GT (hardtop with wabsco sunroof). I learnt to drive in this.

    My dream is to get a TF...found memories in that car...including falling out of the passenger seat when the door lock let go going around a right hand bend!

    Cheers

    I've got the book they published about this trip - very interesting read
    I actually used to own one of his old motorcycles that shared garage space with that TC (among other vehicles!)

    I might have to go and dig that book out and read it again now that you have brought it up

    Oh yes there is. It is accepted medical practice to use a clean penknife and a garden spade.

    Or it certainly felt like it anyway
    I'm thinking that the reintroduction of MG will be like when Daewoo were introduced into the UK. It was a copy of the old MkIII Astra, and felt like it. But they were cheap and sold in their thousands. or at least twenty. Not twenty thousand, just twenty.
