Yes MG driving was o.k. today in the Netherlands:

Sunny weather and up to 12 deg C!

I went to the newyear parts gathering of the Dutch MGCC.
Lots of MG's and I even found one new headrest  cover of my MG only for $ 
3.00 (autumn leaf 1971). Regrettably the guy did not have the second one....

Cheers,

Hans
