I Love MG

On Facebook

It's fairly early days yet, but I thought some of you guys and gals might be willing to give me a click of the 'Like' button. There's also a website, too with MG news on it.

I'm also looking for people to share their ownership stories and why they love MG.

I'm doing this as a side project alongside my freelance journalism for the various car mags, because like you, I love MG!

Thought it might interest some folk on here, feedback is welcome.

Just one quick comment on the website - there is still a 'place your footer content here' message displayed.

Not quite sure what it is about the ZS - but even with the trials and tribulations i still have not got rid - even though my whole famly now think i am slightly mad not to - esp with the leak at the moment.... nothing a towel doesn't fix to de steam the windscreen

Though scraping ice off the inside was a bit of a struggle

My zs greeted me by dumping about half a pint of cold water from the courtesy light console on my lap when i turned the corner our of my drive yesterday :-)

Think the roof aerial might be leaking....

Yes, that's me. And yes, there is a dedicated MG mag. It's called MG Enthusiast and I write for it.

I,m not a big fan of mg enthusiast dont get me wrong its a good mag and covers all the mg,s but i would like to see a mag back that covers the modern mg,s like the zeds and stuff i now mg enthusiast does that but there may only be a few pages covering the modern stuff total mg was a great mag shame that went to the wall

I do alot of MG Enthusiasts modern stuff. If there's a good Zed story, I'll cover it. There's been some brilliant modern MGs in there -if you've got a story, PM me!

Total MG was the only other one I can recall but that died when MG did near enough.
