Silverstone International '08 Featuring K3/75

We know that members join and are loyal to the club for different reasons and we also know that you enjoy your Silverstone International in different ways.
For many people, Silverstone International is about meeting old friends. Friends built up over the years who may be from all corners of the country and even the world. Silverstone International is the event where everyone gets together to celebrate everything that's great about MG cars and MG people.
Another big draw of the event is the entertainment on offer. Displays of the very best MGs, amazing driving skills, the joy of a three day long haggle with the trader who has just the spare part you have been looking for all year!
Best of all, Silverstone International isn't like any other event because it gives you the chance to be a part of it, to really be involved in the activities. This weekend, you're in the driving seat.

SILVERSTONE INTERNATIONAL ROAD RUN

Tour de Silverstone - 13th June 2008
New for SI 2008 is a tour of the countryside around Silverstone on Friday 13th June.
The tour is a circular run of approximately 85 miles starting and finishing at Silverstone circuit with a half way stop planned at the World famous Heritage Motor Museum at Gaydon, Warwickshire.  The Museum is home to many iconic British cars and is a popular destination for both National and International visitors interested in the history of the British car industry. It also has an excellent café/restaurant and gift shop.  See: www.heritage-motor-centre.co.uk for more information about the museum.
The attractive route takes you through the leafy back roads of Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire, Warwickshire and Northamptonshire. This is the heart of rural England where it is still possible to drive your MG on minor roads, through picturesque villages and enjoy unspoilt countryside.
An optional quiz will also be included to find the crew with the best observational skills on the run.
The Run is open to all participants but is strictly limited to 100 cars.
The cost of the run for a car and two people is just £20 and includes free admission to the Heritage Museum (worth £18 for two people), rally plate and Tulip style route book. Extra passengers will cost £8 (includes museum admission)

Petition to Protect Classic Car Use

Since early last year there has been a petition on the 10 Downing Street website calling on the Prime Minister to reject any EU proposals to ban or restrict the use of older cars, and recently there has been a flurry of chain e-mails encouraging people to sign this petition.  We have received a number of enquiries from members about this supposed threat, so we thought this issue was worth further investigation.

The MG Car Club is a member of the Federation of British Historic Vehicle Clubs (FBHVC), which monitors legislative threats to classic car use - just one of the ways the MGCC works to protect our members, in this case against legislation which could be against your interests.  Additionally, our Vice-Chairman, Chris Hunt Cooke, is also Chairman of the FBHVC.  Chris is therefore an authoritative source on what is really happening in this case, so we asked him what he thinks.  It seems the FBHVC has examined this potential threat very carefully, just as it monitors all similar legislation, and sees no real problem in this case: “by all means sign the petition, which can only do good, but do not worry about the alleged threats, which really are entirely imaginary, and have no basis in fact at all. FBHVC has been pointing this out since last May, but it seems very difficult to allay fears once aroused!”  

We have pleasure in announcing the VII edition of MG BY THE SEA which will take place at Gabicce Mare in Italy as usual.
One more time this small and exclusive sea resort, now famous within the international MG family, will host this event, as usual greeting it's participants with it's warm welcome. The special formula of the get together is to offer a holiday in a pleasant area where participants can enjoy their MGs by following the many daily activities or simply go to the beach, being free not to participate in the outings and spending a relaxing week. The MGCC Italia motto is after all "MG is...to live freely together!"
