It is interesting how few there are in our club (remember, we have  
1000 members).

We have one 1100 enthusiast who competes in his.  He usually wins most  
events and shows that he enters (usually because he is generally the  
only one in his class) - but it is a pretty neat and tidy car.  He has  
worked hard on brining it up to scratch but he still "throws" it  
around a motorkhana track and recently put it on the racetrack for our  
MG Challenge weekend.

He was thrilled to find that for once he wasn't the slowest car out  
there and picking up speed through some of the corners I could see he  
may even have caught THE BUG (the grin on his face back in the pits  
was priceless).

The 1100 isn't really a competition vehicle :-)

Oh yeah - we all love the hydrospastic... err hydrolastic suspension  
is great to see settling down after the car comes to a rapid halt in  
the motorkhana events.

A neat little car - and a comfortable ride, too.
