MG Sports Cars

On Sunday Pete Mantell visited, he has been staying with his parents in Bexleyheath Kent which is only a few miles from me. Pete contacted me before he left the US to ask whether he could drop in to meet me and have a look at my car and I was pleased to extend an invitation.

The weather has been terrible for about a week and it was no better on Sunday but I got the car out, washed the dust off and about 10 minutes later Pete arrived, he was a bit llmited for time but we went for a quick drive to give him some idea how it drove and how quick it was .I don't normally take it out if it's pouring with rain. but i must admit I was surprised at how well it gripped with the fully sorted suspension and even with a heavy right foot it didn't even spin the tyres!.

Anyway we got back and Pete came in for coffee and a chat and we could have done with more time as there was so much to talk about, as it was he was late getting back for lunch.

Pete's a great guy and it was a pleasure to meet him.

Pete was looking forward to meeting and talking with you...glad it happened!

And yes...he is certainly a great individual!

Excellent!

I'm sure y'all had a LOT to talk about!

I am glad that you two can understand each other :-)
Nice guy !!

Bill,

He only has a slight foreign accent LOL;

Kevin.

Your post makes me want for a return trip to Coyote Ugly, Bill!

ehmm well......some day Rick, some day.

Sorry Kevin, Rick invaded my mind with his toughts.

Yes, accent, well I think Pete has a problem then. If you can only partially understand him due to his American accent and we can only understand him some oft he time. That is a real problem for Pete.

Will give him a note pad, yes! that is the solution. LOL :-)

Yer a fine one t'be talkin about an accent Bill. ;-)

Jim

Well.....I am not form TN so I can be understood a bit better than.......;-) My accent is sexy, so I been told. What about yours? LOL

Bill with your "sexy accent"....I could run with SO MUCH with that comment....but will practice some uncharacteristic restraint.

So... is Pete back from the UK Rick?

Yep I'm back, flew in Wednesday evening just before Thanksgiving.
What accent?? :)
Here a picture of Kevin's car, note the pouring rain!!
Thanks again Kevin

Cheers
Pete

Pete,

Glad to hear you made it home safely, and hope you have dried out, and yes it's still bloody raining, any one got any Ark plans for my next project.

Kevin.

Why is it so wet in England?

Because of all the Kings and Queens that reigned there.

Two Viking invaders are trudging up the beach in the pouring rain. One looks skywards and says, "So this is England. What's it like?" The other snarls, "Well, if you like the weather, you'll love the food."

Okay, I'll stop!
