[Nobbc] Brit Cars

[Robin Jackson]

Hi Ron - thanks for the welcome. My Mk2 is actually of the Jaguar variety, and
at times I wish it were of the MG variety.

Cheers

  Hi Robin and welcome. I
remember meeting you at the start of one of our 
  rides recently. I hope you
can get that Mk2 on the road soon. My car 
  needs the company of another
MGA! There are a half dozen or so in the 
  club that rarely make an
appearance.

  Ron
  58 MGA
