I found out that my RD was feature in MG Enthusiast magazine. I have not seen the article since we do not get that magazine in the West Coast.
I am hoping to get a copy from the Magazine I hope.
If anyone has a copy that they would like to sell to me, send a PM to me.

Very excited, this is the fourth Magazine that has done an article on V6 MG's. MG driver Retro magazine in the UK, Classic Motorsports and now MG Enthusiast.
Just boasting, like my wife said, enjoy the 5 minutes of boasting and go back to work.
Bill Young gave me 15 minutes.:)

Awesome! Congrats Bill! I'm still trying to hunt down the latest Austin Healey magazine from February. I got to talk to the owner of the car that is being showcased in that magazine.

Was this the pretty chrome bumper 74 I saw at the 2008 meet that was published?

Bill, couldn't find a copy here in KC. Sorry 'bout that. I had my Midget featured in the old Midget and Sprite magazine which promptly went under soon after the aritcle was published. Was that an omen? Does feel good though to have some recognition of your work though. You still have about 5 minutes left, enjoy. :thumbsup:

Bill, which issue is it in? The February issue on their web site doesn't show it, so I suppose it's in the March issue? The only store that carries it around here is in Knoxville. Let me know what issue it is and I'll call and see if they have it. If so, I'll drive over and get a few copies.

Thank you very much Dan. The article is "Period-modified MGB" and it is on the Feb issue. That is what I was told. Maybe is to small to find LOL

Actually folks, it's the March 2010 issue, pages 36-40. Well done Bill!

Title of the article is "Orange and Juicy". Did you come up with that, Bill? If my scanner was working, I'd copy it for you and email it. If you don't get a copy in the next while, I'll find one up here and mail it to you. Chapters book store carries the magazine.

Actually we were talking about it when they did the photo shoot, no idea they would use it, we were laughing. after a day of photo stuff and answering questions people get silly.Lain Ayre is a very good writer and a fun guy.

Thanks, at least I know now it is the March issue, I was told wrong. Many thanks.

Bill,

Barnes and Noble let me down. The copies they had set aside for me were the February issue, even though I specifically asked for the March issue and was told that was what they had. Their computer says the March issue will be there later this week (why they didn't know the issues they had in stock were February when I called I don't know). I'll go back and try again.
