Have you ventured on the motorway with yours yet?

I took mine 1 junction up the M5 tonight just to see how it crusies with the new diif and i can say that mine at least is not really a motorway animal! I came back down the lanes and over the hills and its was considerably more enjoyable

That's right, no Motorways round these parts. And if we did have one it'd be nose to tail tractors.

Hi All, not been around for a while due to marital issues (split after 27 years) now looks like I will be moving from sunny Boston, hopefully into the not-so-badlands of Norfolk. I have a new lady who is as commited (should read needs to be committed) to the Sammio as me. She is going to help me get it done, and then we may be taking it to Ireland next year for a very special occasion ;-) ;-). Love her to bits, and the new lady is pretty lovely as well! Ooooops. Hope to be chasing you guys round Norfolk asap! Chasing, not perhaps the correct term when driving a 13/60 herald based car but, whatever.

phil9 · #18 28th May 2012, 07:33

Mister Towed · #19 28th May 2012, 11:43

We could start the Norfolk chapter of 'The Hell's Sammios' - paunchy middle aged gentlemen who gatecrash MG owner's club tea dances and cause mild irritation to the traditionalists with our despised 'specials'.

AndyP57 · #20 28th May 2012, 11:49

Are any of you guys considering a run to Newark for the kit car show?
