ZT260/75v8 events in 2013. Is anything happening?

[Tim]

Don't think I was randomly generated, both of my parents had purpose. Welcome along Charles I do need confirmation of you and your fine car please. A member of the MGOC is also good.

Dear Nich
Thanks for the reply. Nothing would give me more pleasure than to contact Tim and go green..........but who is Tim and how do I contact him? You also mention 'going green'. Now, my Rover 75 V8 that I had from new was LPG converted and was considered to be reasonably 'green' but at 2.5k a pop for the conversion, this was not a route I wanted to pursue again. Given this problem, is there any other way I can 'go green', so this chap Tim would find acceptable and thus allow me access to this years events? I see the reply below also mentions someone called Tim, so I am beginning to think this is not some random name you have come up with.
By the way, your MGZT is'nt the one with a KB supercharger is it? and if so do you live near the Birmingham area and did you sell me a MK1 boot spoiler?.........if you did, then you know who I am!! I have nearly finished the car and will post some photos on the site when someone at my end shows me how to!!

Look forward to your reply.

Nich, I am a full member of the Two-Sixties forum. Seeing as how you are so well-in with this Tim bloke, can't you just "ping" this request over to him?
I am going to be honest with you Nich, I don't understand this forum-malarky; I just want to know what's going off this year!
To give you more of an insight into the type of person I am the children at home show me how to "do things" on the computer as I am so hopeless at it. Within 24 hours of being shown something, I have forgotten how to do it! It just won't sink in. So bad is the situation that everyone in my family dreads me going anywhere near it.
Could you ask Tim (who seems to be VERY powerful) to include at the top of this forum link, a little box that is headed "Questions for Tim". It would be so much easier for dimwits like me!

Best,

Charles.

Understand your problem Charles. Tim (the all seeing eye) will no doubt be reading this as I type and a new questionnaire will be 'winging' its way to you as we speak or very soon afterwards.
The way it works is that anyone can join the forum and their names will appear in blue, once you get a 260/75V8 and are a member of the MGOC then your name will go green (after you have sent your questionnaire back to Tim). Moderators and Administrators names are in red.

Blues can only see the Public Section (very limited)
Greens can see everything (the whole forum)
Reds can see everything and then some (the whole universe)

Hope this helps, I will PM (Private Message) Tim and ask him to send you another questionnaire, although he is probably in the process of doing that right now!

Good evening Herman
Ref the MGOC. For the record I think the MGOC is a fantastic, well organised and very professional club. The parts support and club magazine are also superb......... if you own a Midget,MGB,TC etc.But I struggled to find much of interest for or about a modern 260 V8.
Thank you for your reply.

Charles

Hi Nich
A bit slow! I get home late most nights and I am half asleep after dinner. I will sort it this weekend because the big man has made contact! I have some show dates now and the 7th of July at Duxford will be a must.The car will be complete for the start of May. What is the difference between a reply and a quick reply?

Best

Charles

[Nich]

Hello charles, a quick reply has a limited number of "bells and whistles" available whereas if you "Go Advanced" then you can spend hours fine tuning your posts with things like coloured text of different sizes etc., etc., and add smilies................





Nich.

P.S. Are you going to Brooklands on 7th April?
