Competition Time: Photograph the TT and win a prize!

Brettus · Dec 2, 2024

Well, I finally got my MG4 (Affectionately known as the Turbo Tango (TT for short)) back from crash repair (after 10 months

)
So to celebrate I'm getting out and about a fair bit over the next month or so.

I joked about this idea in the XPower section but given it's getting more identifiable by the day I thought why not.
If someone manages to spot the car out and about (no camping around my house ) and posts a photo, dashcam grab will also count so I'm not being tailed to my next stop

then I'll send them a prize.

I'm currently making plans for my yearly batch of eggnog production so a 500ml bottle of that will be up for grabs.

The car in question currently looks like this:

No eggnog will be left in the vehicle overnight

Not that I expect you up my way but your number plate is the easiest thing to spot

I mean, I have relatives in Glasgow (and a penchant for Whisky) so it’s not impossible I’d be north of the wall. This might take longer than expected to spot me as I’m quite elusive (and remarkably shy and especially awkward in person

) but that’s part of the fun. See how widespread the mgevs network is

Next time I see a Tango I'll check the number plate. And it will be gone before I get the required photo...

Dare I say it, "Where's Wally " there its done. The Daily Mirror used to run something like this in the summer months in the 1970,s , if you spotted one of their reporters in a seaside resort and grappled him to the ground , 10 quid was yours. I don't expect to see you in France , would a drawing suffice?

It was the Sunday Post in the 1960s. The HoN man. ("Holiday on nothing") I think the prize was a fiver, which was a lot of money in these days.
